Abstract

Data recovery from monolithic storage devices (MSDs) is in high demand for legal or business purposes. However, the conventional data recovery methods are destructive, complicated, and time-consuming. We develop a robotic-arm-assisted optical coherence tomography (robotic-OCT) for non-destructive inspection of MSDs, offering ~7 μm lateral resolution, ~4 μm axial resolution and an adjustable field-of-view to accommodate various MSD sizes. Using a continuous scanning strategy, robotic-OCT achieves automated volumetric imaging of a micro-SD card in ~37 seconds, significantly faster than the traditional stop-and-stare scanning that typically takes tens of minutes. We also demonstrate the robotic-OCT-guided laser ablation as a microsurgical tool for targeted area removal with precision of ±10 μm and accuracy of ~50 μm, eliminating the need to remove the entire insulating layer and operator intervention, thus greatly improving the data recovery efficiency. This work has diverse potential applications in digital forensics, failure analysis, materials testing, and quality control.
