Blue Laser Technology Committee

The OSTA Board of Directors has authorized the creation of a new "ad hoc" committee to address the growing amount of industry activity in blue laser technology based optical recording. Bob Zollo, OSTA Vice Chairman, is chairing this initiative pending appointment of a permanent committee chair.

The purpose of this committee is to provide OSTA members with a forum that focuses on the growing number of blue laser based technologies and issues that impact our industry.

Proposed functions include:

1. Publish a comprehensive roadmap of all blue laser technologies and stake holders to provide an OSTA overview of industry activity.

2. Publish FAQ's on blue laser technologies, related consortiums, and commercialized product categories to aid OSTA members and the editorial community in understanding how this important new optical technology is positioned relative to current optical recording technologies.

3. Provide a forum for blue laser product vendors and technology consortiums to inform OSTA members on their activities, products and plans. Anyone interested in participating please contact Bob Zollo, questionsostaorg
