INTRODUCTION
It is the term given to any form of optical data storage in which information can be recorded and/or read with three dimensional resolution. This innovation has the potential to provide terabyte-level mass storage on DVDsized disks. Data recording and readback are achieved by focusing lasers within the medium.

HISTORY
In the 1970s, Valeri Barachevskii demonstrated that this photochromism could be produced by two-photon excitation. Finally at the end of the 1980s Peter T. Rentzepis showed that this could lead to threedimensional data storage

Various storage devices till date


I Generation : Compact Disc(CD) 650/700MB Laser wavelength 780nm Color of laser RED II Generation :

Digital Versatile Disc(DVD) 4.7GB Laser Wavelength - 650nm Color of laser - RED III Generation : Blu ray Disc(BD) - 25/50GB Laser wavelength 405nm Color of laser - BLUE

PROCESS OF WRITING DATA


Non resonant multiphoton absorption Sequential multiphoton absorption Microholography Recording during manufacturing

Invented by SHVJI NAKAMURA of NICHA Corporation. It has the main use of High Definition video & Data Storage. The name Blu-ray Disc derives from the blue-violet laser used to read the disc.

BD TECHNOLOGY
Pits-Spiral grooves that run from center of the disc to its edges. Bumps-Other sides of these above edges. Track Pitch-It is the distance between the two tracks(of pits) on the surface. DATA IS STORED IN THE PITS

CD/DVD vs. BD
BD
Data is stored on the top of the 1.1mm thick polycarbonate layer

DVD

Data is sandwiched between two 0.6mm thick poly carbonate layers. Numerical Aperture is 0.65 Track Pitch 0.74 micron Storage capacity is 15/30GB Image resolution is POOR

Numerical Aperture is 0.85


Track Pitch 0.32 micron

Storage capacity is 25/50GB.


Image resolution is HIGH

Pictorial & Graphical comparison

ADVANTAGES
Instantly skip to any part of the disc. Record HDTV without any quality loss. Multi-tasking. Automatically search for an empty space. Higher density enables better data seek times. and many more
