Optical, thermal, and materials aspects of short laser pulses for optical data storage

Sub-nanosecond laser pulses are attractive for optical data storage because of their efficient delivery of optical power and mitigation of thermal conduction effects, thus enabling media designs for superfast cooling. We review the technology of short-pulse lasers, and discuss the potential of short...

Zusammenfassung:Sub-nanosecond laser pulses are attractive for optical data storage because of their efficient delivery of optical power and mitigation of thermal conduction effects, thus enabling media designs for superfast cooling. We review the technology of short-pulse lasers, and discuss the potential of short-pulse data recording.
