WELCOME STATEMENTFROM THE ORGANIZINGCOMMITTEECHAIRPERSON
The 16th International Symposium
on Optical memory(ISOM’06)
will be held in Takamatsu, Kagawa, Japan
October 15-19, 2006
It is our great pleasure to have the 16th International Symposium
on Optical Memory (ISOM) meeting in Takamatsu. The first
ISOM, or Symposium on Optical Memory (SOM) meeting washeld in 1985 in Tokyo. Remarkable progresses of opticalmemory technology and industry have been made during these 20
years. Total amount of optical drives and media shipments allover the world in this year are expected to be 280M units and 17B
pieces, respectively.
Optical drives and media are now
inevitable for our society. Major technologies supporting thecurrent optical memory industry have been presented in the past
ISOM meetings. The progress of the optical memory industry
has been strongly supported by the progress of ISOM meetings.
This year is the starting year of the third generation optical drives
and media using blue laser diodes. Higher storage capacity anddata rate will provide us completely new surroundings forentertainments and information technologies. Cooperated withdigital broadcasting, Internet and the flat panel displays, newdigital entertainment world will be created.
Researches anddevelopments for the fourth generation optical memories havebeen becoming more popular these few years. Holography,
Multi-layer recording, Near-Filed recording, and other highdensity recordings have been actively investigated as promising
candidates for the fourth generation optical memories. Both
third and fourth generation optical memories and even othertechnologies will be discussed in coming ISOM’06 meeting.
ISOM’06 meeting will be held on October 15th to 19th 2006 at
Sunport Takamatsu in Kagawa prefecture, Japan. Welcome to
ISOM’06 meeting in Takamatsu and the ISOM Committees hopethat all of you enjoy the meeting.

Yoshito Tsunoda
Organizing Committee Chair person ISOM’06− 4 −INTRODUCTION
The 16th International Symposium on Optical Memory (ISOM)
will be held from Oct. 15th to 19th 2006 at Sunport Takamatsu in
Kagawa prefecture, Japan.

The purpose of the symposium is toprovide a forum for information exchange on broad range of
topics covering science and technology in optical memories.
This year, Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD consumer products havebeen shipped to the market.

In addition, as discussed in

ISOM/ODS2005, several novel approaches such as holographic,
multi-level, three-dimensional, near-field and super-resolution
technologies should be the main focuses on ISOM’06 for the next
generation optical storage.

The pure and applied theoreticalstudies in physics and mathematics will play a great role infurther supporting and developing these new technologies.

Wewelcome such novel proposals and basic concepts available tofuture storage technologies.
The symposium site, Sunport Takamatsu is located in Takamatsu
city, the capital of Kagawa prefecture, and overlooking thepicturesque Seto Inland Sea.

Also there are many sightseeing

spots in the city, such as Ritsurin Park, one of the mostoutstanding gardens in Japan, built by several generations of
feudal lords in the Sanuki Country, and Mt. Yashima, thewell-known site of a historic battle between the Genji and Heikeclans in the 12th century.

SCOPE OF THE SYMPOSIUM
ISOM’06 will discuss the current status of optical memory systemdesign and applications, together with new developments in theareas of media, lasers, basic theory, system sub-components, and arange of future technologies. In addition to ordinary contributed
papers, a number of invited papers on important topics will bepresented. Topics to be covered in this symposium include, but
are not restricted to:

In the performance, we use the native stone "Sanukaito" which
is very peculiar and can be found nowhere else but Kagawa. In
1891, a German geologist named the stone "Sanukaito", whichmeans the native stone of Sanuki. The stone being ordered by amusical scale can make soothing sounds when struck.
Ms. Michiyo Usuki, the great Sanukaito player, presents theperformance. She was born in Kagawa, and graduated from Toho
Gakuen School of Music. She also specializes in marimba,
percussion and Japanese drums, and passed NHK Yougaku(Western Music) audition. Currently, she is introducing Sanukaito
music widely, and teaches at Kurashiki Sakuyou University,
Music department.
