Recordable CDs In the past ten years, compact discs (CDs) have become begin as a blank disc with a normally-reflective, heat sen a dominant format for distribution of music recordings, due sitive surface. These blank discs are written by heating the to their compact size and high-quality digital reproduction of surface of the disc with a high power laser beam, causing music. heat-induced chemical change in the reflectivity of the Conventional, mass-produced CDs store data as a pattern surface. The resulting pattern of reflective and nonreflective of pits and lands, representing digital "1"s and "O's, areas can be read by the laser in a CD player. It is not following spiral tracks on a reflective surface of the disc. To possible to reverse the chemical changes which modify the read the CD, a read laser scans the reflective surface, detects surface reflectivity of the disc and thereby stores informa the pits and lands by changes in reflection from the disc 25 tion. Thus, recordable CDs are a write-once (CD-WO) Surface, and decodes the digital information. CDs are mass media, i.e., they can only be recorded once, and cannot be produced by first patterning a photoresistive surface of a erased or re-recorded.

  • CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM Drives) Are the Hardware Devices That Read Computer Data from Disks
    A Brief History of CD/DVD The first disc that could be written and read by optical means (using light as a medium) was developed by James T. Russell. In the late 1960s, Russell created a system that recorded, stored, and played audio/video data using light rather than the traditional contact methods, which could easily damage the disks during playback. Russell developed a photosensitive disc that stored data as 1 micron-wide dots of light and dark. The dots were read by a laser, converted to an electrical signal, and then to audio or visual display for playback. Russell's own company manufactured the first disc player in 1980, although the technology never reached the marketplace until Philips and Sony developed the technology. In late 1982, Philips and Sony released the first of the compact disc (CD) formats, which they then called CD-DA (digital audio). In the years since, format has followed format as the original companies and other industry members developed more adaptations of the original specifications. Digital Versatile disc (DVD) had its beginning in 1994, when two formats, Super disc (SD) and Multimedia CD (MMCD) were introduced. Promoters of the competing technologies failed to reach an agreement on a single standard until 1996, when DVD was selected as a convergence format. DVD has, in the few years since, grown to include variations that do anything that CD does, and more efficiently. Standardization and compatibility issues aside, DVD is well-placed to supplant CD. Magnetic vs Optical Media Optical media are storage media that hold information in digital form and that are written and read by a laser; these media include all the various CD and DVD variations, as well as optical jukeboxes and autochangers.

    University of Technology Department Laser & Optoelectronics Engineering Laser Eng Branch Laser application Lab. Experiment (9) Measure the Distance Between Tracks of CD and DVD The aim of work: 1-measure the distance between tracks of CD and DVD. 2-study the different between the CD & DVD. Instruments:- Laser He-Ne, CD & DVD, screen, ruler, holders Theory:- The Compact Disc was invented by Sony and Philips in 1981 in order to serve as a high-quality compact audio storage device which allowed for direct access to digital sound tracks. It was officially launched in October 1982. In 1984, the Compact Disc's specifications were extended (with the publication of the Yellow Book) so that it could store digital data. A CD (Compact Disc) is an optical disc 12cm in diameter and 1.2mm thick (its thickness may vary from 1.1 to 1.5 mm) for storing digital information: up to 650 MB of computer data (equivalent to 300,000 typed pages) or 74 minutes of audio data. A circular hole 15mm in diameter is used to centre it on the CD player's surface. A CD is built from a plastic (polycarbonate) substrate and a fine, reflective metallic film (24-carat gold or a silver alloy). The reflective layer is then covered with an anti-UV acrylic finish, creating a protective surface for data. Finally, an additional layer may be added so that data can be written on the other side of the CD as well. The reflective layer contains tiny bumps. When the laser passes over the polycarbonate substrate, light is reflected off the reflective surface, but when the laser reaches a bump, that's what allows it to encode information.

Dirksen Philips Research Laboratories High Tech Campus 4 Professor Holstlaan 4 NL - 5656 AA Eindhoven The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Augustus J.E.M. Janssen Philips Research Laboratories High Tech Campus 36 Professor Holstlaan 4 NL - 5656 AA Eindhoven The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Summary. We present the optical principles of actual and projected systems for optical data storage like the CD (Compact Disc) , the DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) and the blue light DVR system. After a short historic overview, the initial choices with respect to optical read- out method, light path and optical components are briefly reviewed. We next consider in more detail the radial tracking method applied in the DVD-system and the compatibility aspects between the DVD- and CD-system. Throughout this chapter we especially pay attention to the modelling of the signal read-out in an optical disc player and we will describe methods to efficiently calculate crucial parameters like signal jitter and cross-talk. 2 1 Introduction An extensive literature is available on optical data storage. Because of the multi- disciplinary character of optical storage, the subjects range from optics, mechanics, control theory, electronics, signal coding and cryptography to chemistry and solid- state physics. Several books [2]-[9] have appeared that are devoted to one or several of the subjects mentioned above.
