Abstract
The present invention provides an optical disk carrier having the same length and width as an ISO standard cartridge but with a reduced thickness and further having the same sensing and handling features as are found on a conventional, full-thickness cartridge. When reduced-thickness carriers are used in an automated optical storage and retrieval library, the storage density of the library can be significantly increased.
