Abstract
The invention of the laser revealed in the early sixties a diversity of new capabilities for optical information storage. However, the fascinating properties of coherent light often masked the difficulties with the introduction of optical storage techniques. By these means, systems were proposed superior to existing stores by orders of magnitude but with the disadvantage of non-feasibility. It had been overlooked that the limits of optical methods in most cases are determined by material properties and not by light properties like wavelength or light velocity. This experience initiated a period of enhanced material studies for optical data storage.
