By now everyone has heard of blu ray technology and what its capable of.

However the next few lines is for those of you that don't know what it is or what its capable of. Blu-Ray technology was released by Sony right when HD DVD was at its peak. At the time all movies would be released in HD DVD format and most of the people had already bought HD DVD players. But Sony came along and announced Blu Ray. They claim to have much more data capacity and data transfer rates than any other format available at the time or any time. Blu Ray can store five to ten times more data than what the conventional DVD's is capable of. However the only problem with this new format is that Sony made it incompatible with all other players including the current HD DVD players that were popular at the time. Blu-Ray discs can only be played on its own players. This created a problem for HD DVD owners who had already bought HD DVD players and could not watch movies that were exclusive to blu-ray.

A blu-ray disc. looks like any other DVD, having the same size and dimensions. But then ...
... if that is the case then how is it able to store so much data? The answer to this lies not in its physical dimensions but in its write/read technology. Blu-Ray uses a blue violet laser having a wavelength of 405 nanometers to read and write data on the disc. This laser is where this technology got its name from. Unlike the blu ray, first generation DVD's and CD's use a red laser having a much larger wavelength to read and write data.

It is because of this short wavelength that so much data can be written on a single disc. The shorter wavelength means that data can be written more precisely thus resulting in higher capacities. A single layer disc can store up to 25 GB of data while a dual layer disc can support up to 50 GB of data. Whereas on the other hand, first generation DVD's use a red laser having a wavelength of 650 nanometers to write data. That is why it can only store 4.7GB on a single layer disc.

It is due to this technology that blu ray will eventually be used as the medium of choice for storage purposes. And as technology progresses the price of a single blu ray dvd will also fall. And thanks to personal blu ray burners this technology is not only available to the movie industry but can also be used by any person owning a blu ray burner.
