How Does NFOS Differ from Traditional Optical Storage?
Traditional optical storage technologies, such as CDs and DVDs, use a laser beam to read and write data. However, the resolution of these systems is limited by the diffraction limit of far-field light, which is approximately half the wavelength of the light used. NFOS overcomes this limitation by employing near-field light, which can achieve a much higher resolution due to its evanescent nature. This allows for significantly increased storage densities.
