  • 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.

  • Use External Storage Devices Like Pen Drives, Cds, and Dvds
    External Intel® Learn Easy Steps Activity Card Storage Devices Using external storage devices like Pen Drives, CDs, and DVDs loading Videos Since the advent of computers, there has been a need to transfer data between devices and/or store them permanently. You may want to look at a file that you have created or an image that you have taken today one year later. For this it has to be stored somewhere securely. Similarly, you may want to give a document you have created or a digital picture you have taken to someone you know. There are many ways of doing this – online and offline. While online data transfer or storage requires the use of Internet, offline storage can be managed with minimum resources. The only requirement in this case would be a storage device. Earlier data storage devices used to mainly be Floppy drives which had a small storage space. However, with the development of computer technology, we today have pen drives, CD/DVD devices and other removable media to store and transfer data. With these, you store/save/copy files and folders containing data, pictures, videos, audio, etc. from your computer and even transfer them to another computer. They are called secondary storage devices. To access the data stored in these devices, you have to attach them to a computer and access the stored data. Some of the examples of external storage devices are- Pen drives, CDs, and DVDs. Introduction to Pen Drive/CD/DVD A pen drive is a small self-powered drive that connects to a computer directly through a USB port.

  • EXP-26 Open Frame CD Player
    EXP-26 Open Frame CD Player Topics: Diode Laser, Detection of Light, CD Control System, CD Structure, Computer Control The most widespread laser applications are unambiguously the optical data storage systems such as CD, DVD and nowadays Blue-Ray disc (BD). The CD was originally designed for storage and playing back music and was later extended to the CD-ROM for computer storage. Most optical drives operate on the principle of detecting changes in the intensity of light that is reflected by the media surface. The data information is printed as so-called pits onto the reflective surface of the media. The limitation of the storage capacity is the wave length of the laser light. Light of a shorter wavelength can be focused better thus allowing higher storage density. Within this course the data detection, the control loop for the reading laser head and other components of an optical drive will be demonstrated using the open frame CD player. The optical technique to read data remains the same regardless of whether a CD, a DVD or a BD is used. Examples of Investigations: Reading assembly: A laser beam of 780 nm wavelength is focused on the CD by means of lenses L1 and L2. The spot size on the reflective layer is about 0.6 µm. The light returning from the CD is reflected by the polarizing beam splitter cube (BC) due to the action of the quarter wave plate (QWP) and is imaged on the position sensitive sensor (PSD). Detection of pits: Once the laser beam hits a pit, a change in reflected light intensity occurs due to partial scattering and destructive interference between the incoming and outgoing laser beam.
