Manufacture of 21 MB Floptical disk using acousto-optically controlled laser ablation process

Paper Abstract

Iomega decided that be developing our own Floptical media production equipment, we could enhance the basic Floptical technology with our servowriting experience and capabilities acquired from our own patented Bernoulli^TM Box magnetic storage technology. This technology synthesis has led to our proprietary laser ablation servowriting equipment for magnetic media. This system has been dubbed LightSaber^TM.
