3. INTRODUCTION Blu-ray, also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD), Developed by the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and (including Apple, Dell, Hitachi, HP, JVC, LG, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony etc.). The format was developed to enable recording, rewriting and playback of high-definition video (HD), as well as storing large amounts of data. This extra capacity combined with the use of advanced video and audio codecs will offer consumers an unprecedented HD experience.
4. Disc Characteristics Single layer: 25 GB Dual layer: 50 GB Diameter: 120 mm Thickness: 1.2 mm Center hole diameter: 15 mm Uses laser of wavelength 405 nm The smaller laser, compared to the DVD and CD, keeps the process more efficient (~5 mW)
5. Working-Lasers & Optics The new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray. The benefit of using a blue-violet laser (405nm) is that it has a shorter wavelength than a red laser (650nm), which makes it possible to focus the laser spot with even greater precision. This allows data to be packed more tightly and stored in less space, so it's possible to fit more data on the disc even though it's the same size as a CD/DVD. This together with the change of numerical aperture to 0.85 is what enables Blu-ray Discs to hold 25GB/50GB.

7. Hard-coating technology Because the Blu-ray Disc data layer is closer to the surface of the disc, compared to the DVD standard, it was at first more vulnerable to scratches. TDK was the first company to develop a working scratch protection coating for Blu-ray Discs. It was named DURABIS. Verbatim's recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc use their own hard-coat technology called ScratchGuard.
8. RECORDING SPEED OF BLU RAY DISCS
9. ADVANTAGE OF BLU RAY DISC Record high-definition television (HDTV) without any quality loss instantly skip to any spot on the disc record one program while watching another on the disc edit programs recorded on the disc automatically search for an empty space on the disc A single-layer Blu-ray disc, which is roughly the same size as a DVD, can hold up to 27 GB of data -- that's more than two hours of high-definition video or about 13 hours of standard video A double-layer Blu-ray disc can store up to 50 GB, enough to hold about 4.5 hours of high-definition video or more than 20 hours of standard video.
11. FUTURE OF BLU RAY DISC Blu-ray is currently supported by more than 180 of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies. Seven of the eight major movie studios (Disney, Fox, Warner, Paramount, Sony, Lionsgate and MGM) have released movies in the Blu-ray format and others will join soon ……….. Look for BD with more than two layers as the technology is further refined . `
