SBIR Phase II: Novel Coded High Density Optical Disk Data Storage

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段研究项目的目的是开发一个高密度光盘存储原型的基础上，一个新的编码概念，这将导致一个紧凑的封装高密度光盘存储系统的原型开发，是回兼容当前的光盘。使用这种编码概念可以在修改现有光盘记录/读出硬件架构的基础上显著提高磁盘数据存储密度和数据访问速率。新的高密度磁盘驱动器允许与当前的DVD磁盘向后兼容，并且比其他正在开发的存储技术（如全息和近场存储）更容易被市场接受。近期目标是实现50 GB/磁盘容量，下一个可预见的产品目标是超过100 GB/磁盘。如果成功，该项目的成果将提高许多社会应用程序的高密度低成本存储的可用性，增加美国的数据存储技术，并增加美国的就业机会。它将有广泛的商业和军事应用，如计算机数据存储，联机存储，图书馆档案应用，图像存储和处理的医疗应用，军事目标识别和快速访问大型智能数据库。教育影响包括推进图书馆档案存储用于教育用途，并有利于天文学，气象学和其他需要大量数据存储的大学研究。

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II research project aims to develop a high-density optical disk storage prototype based on a new coding concept that will result in the prototype development of a compact packaged high-density optical disk storage system that is back compatible with current optical disk. Using such coding concept can significantly increase the disk data storage density and data access rate based on a modification of existing optical disk recording/readout hardware architecture. The new high density disk drive allows back compatibility with the current DVD disk and has advantage of easier market acceptance for product roll out than other developing storage technologies such as holographic and near field storages. The near term objective is to achieve 50 GB/disk capacity and more than 100 GB/disk is the next foreseeable product goal.If successful, the outcome of this project will enhance the availability of high-density low cost storage for many social applications, increasing US based data storage technologies, and increasing US jobs. It will have extensive commercial and military applications such as computer data storage, on-line storage, library archival applications, image storage, and processing for medical applications, and military target identification and fast access to large intelligent databases. Educational impacts include advancing library archive storage for educational uses and benefiting university research in astronomy, meteorology and others that require huge data storage.
