Advanced Research in Ultra-High Density Non-magnetic On-Camera Storage

William Oakley, Robert McGriff

A novel high speed, high capacity electron-beam recording technique is described in this paper. The electron beam is generated with carbon nanotube technology. The key parameters for generating the recording beam are described followed by a discussion of a strawman design. The technique provides higher recording densities and higher data rates than possible with conventional magnetic-recording hard drives. The design parameters were in part selected to satisfy the data rate and recording capacity requirements of digital film cameras. This project is a joint effort between Lockheed Martin and NanoScale Storage Systems, Inc.
