Abstract

A method of producing an information storage disc by optical techniques includes the steps of coating a flat, reflective disc surface with a thin coating of radiant energy sensitive material, moving the coated disc relative to a coherent light beam, which is intensity modulated with the information to be recorded, to expose the radiant energy sensitive material, and developing the radiant energy sensitive material to form a track having geometric variations in the disc representative of the modulated information signals.
