magneto-optical disk
plastic or glass disks coated with a
compound often tbfeco with special properties. the disk is
read by bouncing a low-intensity laser off the disk.
originally the laser was infrared, but frequencies up to blue
may be possible; the shorter the wavelength the higher the
possible density. the polarisation of the reflected light
depends on the polarity of the stored magnetic field.
to write, a higher-intensity laser is used to heat the
material up to its curie point, allowing its magnetisation to
be altered and "frozen" as it cools.
