Despite its potential, NFOS faces several challenges that need to be addressed:
Technical Complexity: The fabrication and alignment of near-field optical probes require advanced techniques and are often complex and costly. Durability: The nanoscale components used in NFOS systems can be prone to wear and tear, affecting their longevity and reliability. Compatibility: Integrating NFOS with existing data storage systems and ensuring backward compatibility can be challenging.
