To arrive at this result, they use a substrate radically different from that of the current disks. It is filled with a dye reacting to the laser by emitting light if it is excited by a second laser. This emission of light or its absence allow the reading of to the 1 and 0.
The announced data flow for reading is very promising; it should reach the 100 MB/s, much more than the solution, Inphase, it will compete with.
In the long term, Call/Recall hopes to be able to store 5 TB on a wafer the size of a CD. You will have understood that it will not be able to read this media on standard Blu-ray readers. On the other hand, the fact that it uses common components should make this technology much more accessible than the ot
