A team of engineers at Purdue University has created a novel technique aimed to upgrade optical digital storage technology. This development would enable the devices to store and read more data in a limited time. The information regarding this development has been published in the bimonthly peer-reviewed journal Laser & Photonics Reviews.
Instead of employing conventional approaches, which used dashes and dots, the Purdue researchers encoded the data at an angular position of the small, tilted antennas, which leads to enhanced data storage per unit area. The angular positions of antennas are determined by the actual resolution of the sensor, which considerably increases the storage capacity of a device. The antennas arranged at certain angles decode the data to be stored by converting it into a series of colors.
In optical digital storage systems, technology has contributed to expanding storage space availability. Laser-writable or rewritable optical data storage media are not required for any kind of optical data storage media.
The bulk of Blu-ray discs, compact discs, and digital versatile discs cannot be recorded. With a swift access rate, long shelf life, and great archival qualities, this type of optical media is an important aspect of disposable cold storage.
The pressing process is employed to manufacture Blu-ray discs, in which the silicon stamper imitates the same dot-and-dash format. Later, a thin coating of nickel coating is applied to acquire a negative imprint. While the information is being ‘burned in' using electron-beam lithography in a prototype showcased by the engineers, it may be recreated through a more extendable manufacturing approach.T his new improvement wouldnot only amplify the reading rate but also enable the storage of more information.
Alexander Kildishev, an Associate Professor at Purdue's College of Engineering,explained the principle of the novel optical media storage, He said that the reason behind extreme reading and storage speeds of the innovative storage technology is the placing of four sensors adjacent to one together.
This storage technology is anticipated to have a wide range of applications. However, security tagging and cryptography-based services would experience a substantial boom with the commercial launch. The team is seeking associates in the industry to help them develop these capabilities further.
