Abstract :
To compete with this steady increase in capacity and performance at relatively fixed cost, new approaches are being pursued to increase the capacity and performance of optical disk storage products. Micromachining technologies will play an important role in these new systems. For example, massively parallel page-oriented techniques such as holographic optical storage may use MEMS based display technology as data page composers.
