System, material and method for increasing the storage capacity of optical recording media are provide. In one aspect, the system of the present invention take advantage of high NA optics to realize ultra high storage capacity. In another aspect, the system of the present invention include the use of liquid interface (150) between the recording medium (112) and a liquid interface singlet objective lens (110) to increase storage capacity, the invention further provides a method using a longer wavelength for recording (102) and a shorter than wavelength (116) for reading, the medium is multilayer structures (LAYER 1, LAYER N) for increasing storage capacity. |
