optical storage media are that: • They have a high capacity. • They hold non-erasable information. • They are robust and durable. • They have a relatively slow response time when read. This chapter provides a brief overview of optical storage principles and introduces three widely used types of optical disc.

Optical storage refers to a class of data storage systems that use light to read or write data to an underlying optical media. Although a number of optical formats have been used over time, the most common examples are optical disks like the compact disc (CD) and DVD.
A brief overview of optical storage systems. Today’s optical storage system stems from a small-scale product developed by Philips and commercially launched in 1978. This system was the result of the Videodisc project that was running at the Philips Research labs in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, through the 1970s. [1]
Optical storage, electronic storage medium that uses low-power laser beams to record and retrieve digital (binary) data. In optical-storage technology, a laser beam encodes digital data onto an optical, or laser, disk in the form of tiny pits.

Basically, optical storage refers to the storage of data on an optically readable medium. Data are recorded by making marks in a pattern that can be read back with the aid of light (generally laser). Thus optical memory has some innate tech-nological advantages over conventional magnetic and flash memory technologies,
