ABSTRACT:
A digital reading and/or writing system and method for reading and/or digital data recorded on a digital recording medium. The system includes a first array having a plurality of near-field solid immersion optical lenses and a second array having a plurality organic micro-cavity lasers with the capability of light intensity modulation. The first array being positioned with respect to the second array such that each near-field optical lens of the first array is associated with at least one organic micro-cavity laser in the second array wherein each of the plurality of organic micro-cavity lasers with the capability of light intensity modulation providing light to its associated near-field solid immersion optical lens that is used for reading digital data on the digital recording medium. An device is provided for modulation of the laser light beams and a sensor for capturing reflected light from the medium that passes through the array of near-field optics so as to obtain the digital data from the digital recording medium.
