  • Abstract
    The characteristics of advantages of magneto-optical storage are discussed. The way in which such disks are written, read, and erased is described. The use of optical disks for image processing is examined. Also considered are the materials that made the technology practical; expected improvements in data rates; the lagging development of drives; and the anticipated increase in capacity.<>
