Sony, Tohoku University develop blue-violet laser with 100 watt output, eyeing 1TB optical disk future?

As much as some want to envision a global entirely bereft of disk-based media, with Blu-ray being the medium\’s swan song, that ain\’t happening. Sony\’s already trying to the long run, and in cahoots with Tohoku University, it has developed a blue-violet laser in a position to 100 watt output. That\’s reportedly more than 100 times the \” world\’s highest output values for conventional blue-violet pulse semiconductor lasers.\” Inside the press release, the company said its tested using such technology for next-generation, large-capacity optical disc-storage, and while that doesn\’t say too much at face value, the Examiner reports (through various Japanese news outlets) that it equates to 20 times the storage of current Blu-ray disks,or about 1TB of knowledge. Don\’t worry, we\’re sure all those 4K 3D films will still be able to justify a \” barebones\” release dearth of features before magically making room for a second (and even third) Special Edition in time for respective holiday seasons.
