Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
Our economy is more and more driven by content and leveraged by high performance, cost-effective hardware and storage. Today people collect create and share more and more digital information. Very high-definition video and social networking will fuel the storage demand further.
Optical memories are one of the most successful data storage technologies, economically and technically. In 2007, around 700 million optical disc drives and 36 billion discs have been manufactured. Optical memories ideally combine media removability, media longevity, random access, lowest costs and are today the dominant consumer storage format for content distribution and archival. However, the conventional bit recording technology (like BD and HD-DVD) has been pushed already close to its practical limits. To further increase the effective data density several technologies exist: multi-layer, optical super resolution, optical near-field technologies, Super-RENS (Super Resolution Near-field Structure) and advanced channel modulation/coding. The next generation optical storage systems for practical application in 3 years from today will likely be provided by a mixture of these evolving and future technologies.
The objective of this project is to investigate the above mentioned technologies and their combination. Specific key components such as µ-SIL, laser spot confinement optics, cross talk cancellation, advanced methods for modulation and coding and stampers and layer structures for read-only and rewritable discs will be developed. The expected outcome is the specification and demonstration of an optical storage system with a capacity of 200 to 400 GByte on a 12 cm disc. This will be the technological basis for a new-generation optical storage format required consumer applications. The scope of this project fits to the call objective 3.6 'Micro-/Nanosystems' with expected outcomes for high density mass storage for next generation smart systems.
