HISTORY
1st GENERATION: Compact disc (CD): --- 650/700 MB It is with us for over 20 years. Wavelength of laser which reads data: 780 nm Color of laser: Red 2nd GENERATION: Digital versatile disc (DVD): --- 4.7 GB It offers high quality sound and video than CD. Wavelength of laser which reads data: 650 nm Color of laser: Red
Introduction to CD
CDs and DVDs are everywhere. Store music, data or computer software, distributing large quantities of information easy and cheap computer CD-R drive, you can create your own CDs,
four one-hundredths (4/100) of an inch (1.2 mm) thick. consists of an injection-molded piece of clear polycarbonate plastic. This plastic is impressed with microscopic bumps continuous, extremely long spiral track of data. Reflective aluminum layer is sputtered onto the disc, covering the bumps. Acrylic layer is sprayed over the aluminum to protect it. The label is then printed onto the acrylic.
CD Player Components
Job of finding and reading the data stored as bumps on the CD. CD player is an exceptionally precise piece of equipment. The drive consists of three fundamental components:
CD Player Components
Drive motor : spins the disc. rotate between 200 and 500 rpm Laser and lens system: read the bumps. Tracking mechanism: moves the laser assembly laser's beam can follow the spiral track. move the laser at micron resolutions.
The fundamental job of the CD player is to focus the laser on the track of bumps. The laser beam passes through the polycarbonate layer, reflects off the aluminum layer and hits an opto-electronic device that detects changes in light. The bumps reflect light differently than the "lands" (the rest of the aluminum layer), and the opto-electronic sensor detects that change in reflectivity. The electronics in the drive interpret the changes in reflectivity in order to read the bits that make up the bytes.

Step 3.
Reflected light is deflected to a light-sensing diode, which sends digital signals of 1 to computer. Absence of reflected light is read as digital signal of 0.
Step 1.
Laser diode shines a light beam toward disc.
If light strikes a pit, it scatters. If light strikes a land, it is reflected back toward diode.

CD Data Formats
There are several different formats used to store data on a CD, some widely used and some long-forgotten. The two most common are CD-DA (audio) and CD-ROM (computer data).
THE NAME
The blu-ray name is a combination of blue, for the color of the laser that is used and ray for optical ray. The e in blue was purposefully left off, according to the manufacturers, because an everyday word cannot be a trademark.
HISTORY
3rd GENERATION: Blu-ray disc (BD): --- 25/50 GB
-Next generation optical disc format. -Developed by blu-ray disc association (which includes Apple, Hitachi, HP, LG, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony) -Wavelength of laser which reads data: 405 nm -Color of laser: Blue-violet which was developed by SHUJI NAKAMURA at NICHIA CORPORATION
FORMAT OF BD
It comes in four different formats: BD-ROM (read only) : for reading recorded content. BD-R (recordable) : for PC data storage. BD-RW (rewritable) : for PC data storage. BD-RE (rewritable) : for HDTV (high definition
television) recording.
TYPES OF BD:
SINGLE LAYER : - Can hold data up to 25/27 GB that means 2 hrs of HD video or about 13 hrs of standard video. DOUBLE LAYER : - Can hold data up to 50 GB that means 4.5 hrs of HD video or more than 20 hrs of standard video.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Pits : spiral grooves that run
from the centre of the disc to its edges Bumps : other sides of these edges. Track pitch : it is the distance between the two tracks (of pits) on the surface. -------------------------------Disc store digitally encoded data in PITS. --------------------------------
THE TECHNOLOGY
So, in blu-ray disc: Pit size 0.15 microns ( more than twice as small as the pits on DVD ) Track-pitch is : 0.32 microns Laser needed : blue-violet laser (405 nm) Data transfer rate : 36 Mbps
FEATURES OF BD
With BD we can: Record HDTV without any quality loss Instantly skip to any spot on disc Record one program while watching other on the disc Create playlists Edit or reorder programs recorded on disc Automatically search for an empty space on the disc to avoid recording over a program Access to web to download subtitles and other extra features And many more
On GAURD
Blu-ray discs are better armed than current DVDs. They come equipped with a secure encryption system a unique ID that protects against video piracy and copyright infringement.
