Optical storage is the storage of data on an optically readable medium. Data is recorded by making marks in a pattern that can be read back with the aid of light, usually a beam of laser light precisely focused on a spinning optical disc .
The term “optical storage” refers to physical computer storage discs or drives that use a visual method to record and read data. One of the most common types of optical storage is a compact disc (CD), on which information is stored in tiny points that can be read by a laser.
