The traditional approach to this problem was to spatially modulate a laser beam with an image of ~one million bits ... we explored an alternative approach extnending current optical disk technologies.

Everyone knows optical disc formats like CD and DVD ... which at 480x480 or 480x576 depending on your region, is twice the image quality of VCDs, but at a massive decrease in running time.

A single electronic file that contains the identical content of an optical disc, including the folder ... The files within the ISO image are not compressed; however, an ISO utility program is ...

Using 3D storage techniques, scientists at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology developed an optical disk capable of accommodating 1.6 petabits of data (that's 1.6 million gigabits).

The data-transfer-rate of an optical disk is determined by the disk's rotational speed. Conventional CDs and DVDs, which use a 1.2-mm-thick polycarbonate substrate, could break from centrifugal ...
