Abstract

Quinta's optically assisted Winchester (OAWT™) technology integrates optical, magnetic, and telecommunications technologies for the first time in the disc drive industry and is designed to build a new class of ultra-high capacity, cost effective disc drive storage devices. The OAW system consists of four major components; an advanced light delivery system, a miniature head design with integrated optics, a high-bandwidth two-stage servo, and a new recording media composition.
