The advent of Blu-ray technology has led to the introduction of high capacity storage discs to meet the demand cause by the rapid growth of high definition television (HDTV). <br><br>Blu-ray discs get their name from blue laser technology. The shorter wavelength of the laser is the reason it is blue in colour.
The blue laser has a wavelength of 405nm compared with the wavelength of 650nm for DVD which utilises red laser technology. The benefit of having a blue laser with a shorter wavelength means it is possible to write smaller data pits and therefore vastly increase the amount of data on the disc. <br><br>Blu-ray discs offere 3 to 5 times the storage capacity of a standard recordable DVD disc, enabling the recording, rewriting and playback of high definition video (HD).<br><br>This disc complies with BD-R Specification Version 1.1<br>For use only in drives or recorders that support 25GB Blu-ray Discs without cartridge.
