Computing | Recording technique for serial-access optical memories. Bits are stored by a laser beam being focused on a photosensitive surface, intensity control is done by a beam modulator and addressing a beam deflector. The storage medium responds to the beam for writing and sometimes for erasing, a detector reacts to the altered character of the medium when it uses the beam to read out stored data.
