OPTICAL STORAGE DEVICES DEFINITION (continued): … the format promoted by Toshiba and NEC.The format's name comes from the fact that a blue laser reads from and writes to the disc rather than the red laser of DVD players. The blue laser has a 405 nanometer (nm) wavelength that can focus more tightly than the red lasers used for writable DVD. As a consequence, a Blu-ray disc can store much more data in the same 12 centimeter space. Like the rewritable DVD formats, Blu-ray uses phase change technology to enable repeated writing to the disc.Blu-ray's standard storage capacity is enough to store a continuous backup copy of most people's hard drives …
