The document discusses the Blu-ray Disc format. It was developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association as a high-density optical disc format using a blue-violet laser with a wavelength of 405 nanometers to read information stored at a higher density than traditional DVDs. Key advantages of Blu-ray Discs include greater storage capacity due to smaller pits and lands, faster data transfer rates, and stronger protection against scratches and contamination.

smaller laser spot size
shorter blue wavelength laser (405
nanometers)
focused through a larger numerical
aperture objective lens. Pits & Lands Information is Stored in pits
areas between the pits, called lands
With the help spiral grooves
laser reads the other side of these pits -- the
bumps More data--smaller and closely packed pits-- precise reading laser Features of Blu-ray uses a blue laser -shorter wavelength (405 nanometers)
focuses more precisely
Enabling to read pit of 0.15 microns (µm)
reduced the track pitch from 0.74 microns
to 0.32 microns Blu-ray Formats
