Mark formation modeling in optical rewritable recording

In optical rewritable recording media, such as the Blu-ray Disc, amorphous marks are formed on a crystalline background of a phase-change layer, by means of short, high power laser pulses. In order to improve this data storage concept, it is of great importance to understand the mark formation process. Therefore, a rigorous numerical model is...
