Ultra-High Density Optical Recording

Abstract

Research on ultra-high density optical recording systems funded by the U.S. Army Research Office was conducted at the Data Storage Systems Center at Carnegie-Mellon University. The goal of this research was to supplement a broader DSSC effort to investigate optical recording technologies that could lead to ultra-high recording densities. The work was directed at developing an understanding of the cyclability of phase change media, the fabrication of solid immersion lens, the development of improved integrated engineering test beds, and the evaluation of different optical media structures.
