  2. Blue laser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_laser

    The violet 405 nm laser (whether constructed directly from GaN or frequency-doubled GaAs laser diodes) is not in fact blue, but appears to the eye as violet, a color for which a human eye has a very limited sensitivity.

  3. Ultra Density Optical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Density_Optical

    This is due to the shorter wavelength (405 nm) of the blue-violet laser employed. MOs use a 650 nm-wavelength red laser. Because its beam width is shorter when burning to a disc than a red-laser for MO, a blue-violet laser allows more information to be stored digitally in the same amount of space. Current generations of UDO2 media store up to ...

  5. Laser diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_diode

    Semi-conductor lasers (Bottom to Top: 660 nm, 635 nm, 532 nm, 520 nm, 445 nm, 405 nm) A laser diode is electrically a PIN diode.The active region of the laser diode is in the intrinsic (I) region, and the carriers (electrons and holes) are pumped into that region from the N and P regions respectively.

  6. Blu-ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-Ray

    While a DVD uses a 650 nm red laser, Blu-ray Disc uses a 405 nm blue laser diode. Although the laser is called blue, its color is actually in the violet range. The shorter wavelength can be focused to a smaller area, thus enabling it to read information recorded in pits that are less than half the size of those on a DVD, and can consequently be ...

  7. Laser pointer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_pointer

    These laser diodes are mass-produced for the reading and writing of data in Blu-ray drives (although the light emitted by the diodes is not blue, but distinctly violet). In mid-to-late 2011, 405 nm blue-violet laser diode modules with an optical power of 250 mW, based on GaN violet laser diodes made for Blu-ray disc readers, had reached the ...

  8. Biological effects of high-energy visible light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_effects_of_high...

    Blue light, a type of high-energy light, is part of the visible light spectrum. High-energy visible light (HEV light) is short-wave light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum, which has a number of purported negative biological effects, namely on circadian rhythm and retinal health (blue-light hazard), which can lead to age-related macular degeneration.

  9. HD DVD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD

    HD Rec is an extension of the HD DVD format for recording HD content on regular red laser DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (MP4/MP4_AVC) compression. [101] It was approved by the DVD Forum on September 12, 2007 [ 102 ] It is comparable to Blu-ray Disc's AVCREC .
