<title>Optical Disc Data Storage</title>

Abstract

Shortly, picture archiving will be done with digital optical recording systems. In our approach, such systems employ Philips Air Sandwich' recording discs for aensities up to about 10¹¹ bits for a cost as low as $10.00, while for higher aensities cartriage designs have been fabricated. Archival life with a data integrity of about 1 in 10¹¹ is expected to be at least 10 years. A by brio pregroovea technology allows the upaate of files through proper data/disc organization.
