Analysis and improvement of photostore error rates

Statistical experiments have been performed on the photostore to test its reliability as a mass storage system. Errors are analyzed with respect to rate, distribution and susceptibility to correction by several codes. The experimental results reported are based on disks recorded by optical techniques. Experimental results on disks recorded with electron beams will be reported separately.
