Abstract
Optical data storage systems have been commercially available as computer peripherals. For practical use, long media life is one of the most important key issues in the media qualification. Although there are many degradation mechanisms on the media such as mechanical, physical and chemical changes, these all are reflected in byte error. It is most suitable to estimate the media life by byte error rate (BER), but this estimation method has not been established yet.
