A new optical disk technology may be on the road that will throw the papucleer of the Blu-rays. Dr. A team led by Nicolas Riesen has developed Fluo-Ray discs, a new optical storage technology that can reduce archive storage costs ten times. This new method is based on manipulating the fluorescent in wave bands in certain recording areas and provides multi -bit storage similar to NAND Flash technology.

The process involves selectively changing the fluorescent properties of nanoparticles in the recording environment, using laser energy to create “spectral holes” in which emissions are reduced. This change in the light emissions codes data to multiple levels and allows potentially high -density storage. Nanoparticles of hexagonal silicon carbide (Sic) crystals added to the vanadium react to laser exposure in ways affecting light emission properties, and these changes allow the data to be taken during the reading process.

A Terabayt = 1 Dollar

Founded by entrepreneur Geoff Macleod-Smith, Optera Data is working to commercialize this technology. The initiative aims to develop optical disks with high -density archive storage capacity by focusing on offline security and long -term data protection. The purpose of the first stage is to produce 1 TB discs.

However, there is a need for some more time for this process; Disks and disk drives should be developed, marketed and expanded in the world. If these processes are successful, it will be possible to store the data between 1 – 10 TB at a cost of $ 1.
