Performance of an Erasable Organic Dye-Binder Optical Disk Medium

Write-once optical disks are emerging as an important medium for information storage. They provide high performance (in terms of carrier-to-noise ratio and bit error rates) and long life (~10 years). Extensive work has been published on write-once optical disk media based on organic dye-binder systems. Here we present some performance data for an erasable organic dye-binder optical disk medium.
