👉 Opticon is a term used in the context of computer science and information technology, referring to a type of optical device that can be used for data storage and retrieval. These devices typically consist of a microprocessor, memory, and other components that are integrated into a circuit board or module, allowing them to store and retrieve data from a larger network. Opticon is often used in conjunction with magnetic-optical memory (MOAM) technology, which uses the principles of magnetism and optical absorption for storage
