Optera uses photoluminescence instead of lasers for long-term optical storage solutionsSpectral hole burning encodes data by ...

Optical storage can last a century, give faster access to data, and is backward compatible with earlier optical technology, yet disk drives and tape rule in long-term storage. Optical media is the ...

UK-based startup SPhotonix was formed in 2024 to commercialize what's known as 5D optical data storage, often referred to as "memory crystals." Essentially, the technique encodes ...

Why it matters: In the new digital age, CDs and DVDs have become relics, replaced by the popularity of streaming and cloud storage. However, scientists think they may have found a way to bring optical ...

Significantly boosting the amount of on-disc storage requires a transition to a blue-laser-based system. The publication of this article marks an anniversary of sorts: 20 years (and a few months) ago, ...

Self-assembled structures offer a unique design concept for optical data storage devices. The storage of digital information using light is a key technology for producing long-term archives of large ...

Even IT managers can get the blues. Or at least that’s what a gaggle of vendors are hoping as they prepare ultradense optical storage products based on blue-laser technology. Conventional optical ...

We could soon store 700 Terabytes on a 12-centimeter optical disk which would be equal to storing 28,000 Blu-ray disks. A separate advance with in data encoding could triple storage to 2.1 Petabytes ...

Optical data storage company SPhotonix has raised $4.5 million in a pre-seed funding round, led by Creator Fund and XTX Ventures, the venture capital arm of XTX Markets. The startup said the funding ...

A new technology is aimed at modernizing the optical digital storage technology. This advancement allows for more data to be stored and for that data to be read at a quicker rate. Rather than using ...
