Abstract :
Results on the use of C-shaped nano-apertures for optical data storage are reported. This type of aperture have a highly concentrated nanometer sized spot with a power throughput 1,000,000 times higher than for a square or round aperture producing the same spot size. Optical recording using contact media and conventional optical read-write media in DVD technology is also described.
