Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, “Advances and Evolutions in Optical Data Storage” provides an overview of the latest research and development in ODS, as well as new research and application areas of optical data storage technologies.
The research and development into optical data storage (ODS) has encountered a drastic change. A rapid increase in data density, capacity, and the data transfer rate of solid state disks, hard disk drives and tape drives have made these storage options a viable player in modern data communication and storage eco-systems. In the storage eco-system, optical data storage is considered an extra long-term (lasting over 50 years) cold data archive system that is “green” in nature due to its smaller total cost and energy consumption compared to the alternatives.
While seeking to further develop ODS within the storage eco-system, the optical data storage research and development community, both in academia and industry, is actively seeking application areas for the ODS technology that has accumulated over the past three decades.
The Special Issue provides readers with a perspective on current ODS technologies and technical assets, as well as its horizons, including new opportunities, killer devices and systems based on the ODS technologies, which will have the same market size and technical challenges in the future.
