Analysis of Micro-Reflector 3-D Optical Disc Recording

In a volumetric optical disc medium, two counter-propagating light beams focusing to the same point create a diffraction-limited size micro-reflector. We propose a single-sided optical layout for a three-dimensional optical disc recording system using the micro-reflectors. Calculation results of readout signal characteristics, estimation of interlayer crosstalk noise, and recording capacity of micro-reflector three-dimensional optical disc recording are described
