    ...not really bandwidth, but storage.

    I've been lucky to head to a couple of optics conferences, and with the keynote presentations that has been the one surprising thing (to me as a layman) that comes up time after time.

    10Gbps throughput via optics is great; in fact, with the use of optics, the amount of data that can be collected for, say, scanning living tissue, is enormous. Finding a storage mechanism large enough and fast enough to store seemingly infinite amount of information, though, have been the researchers' concern.

    What did they think was a solution for this? You guessed it, optical storage.
