Applications for Fourth Generation Optical Storage
Tuviah E. Schlesinger, Bruce H. Krogh, Tsuhan Chen · Japanese Journal of Applied Physics · 2009
Optical data storage includes inexpensive, removable, easily replicated medium. Thus, optical data storage is a technology first and foremost suited for content distribution. Only applications requiring the distribution of large data sets will require this technology. We suggest that large databases that would need to be distributed to users implementing storage-based computing systems for various applications including machine translation, object detection and system control could drive the need for fourth generation optical data storage.
