ISOM/ODS 2012 - INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OPTICAL MEMORY & OPTICAL DATA STORAGE TOPICAL MEETING (ISOM/ODS)

The ISOM/ODS offers an excellent forum for exchanging information on the status, advances, and future directions in the field of optical memory and optical data storage. Third generation high density recording systems using blue-violet laser are growing in the commercial market. New developments in holographic, multi-dimensional, near-field, super-resolution, and hybrid recording technologies for the fourth generation systems will be the main focus at this confernece.

Special sessions on new concepts such as non-photonics and future emerging technologies are also planned. Contributions on alternative technologies and theoretical studies from universities are strongly encouraged. Invited talks in many of these areas will round out the four-day program. In addition to the technical sessions, a series of short courses on hot topics in several technological fields wil be held on Sunday to educate both newcomers and veterans abou the latest information in optical memory and optical data storage.

Topics will include:

Holographic Recording
Multi-Dimensional Recording
Near-Field Recording
Super-Resolution
Hybrid Recording
Advanced or Related Technologies
Basic Theory and Modeling
Testing and Characterization
Media and Materials
Components
Coding and Signal Processing
