Abstract

Textured surfaces have been studied for application to optical storage as an alternative mechanism to the conventional ablative hole-forming process. Writing process in the textured media has been shown to be inherently sensitive, because the surface energy stored on the textured column is calculated to be sufficient to accomplish the melting limited writing. This represents a significant sensitivity improvement and a great deal of simplification in the material selection.
