Detailed explanation-1: -Optical storage is the storage of data on an optically readable medium. Data is recorded by making marks in a pattern that can be read back with the aid of light, usually a beam of laser light precisely focused on a spinning optical disc.
Detailed explanation-2: -Optical disks rely on a red or blue laser to record and read data. Most of today’s optical disks are flat, circular and 12 centimeters in diameter. Data is stored on the disk in the form of microscopic data pits and lands. The pits are etched into a reflective layer of recording material.
Detailed explanation-3: -optical storage, electronic storage medium that uses low-power laser beams to record and retrieve digital (binary) data. In optical-storage technology, a laser beam encodes digital data onto an optical, or laser, disk in the form of tiny pits arranged in a spiral track on the disk’s surface.
Detailed explanation-4: -Blu-ray. The Blu-ray disk has emerged as clear leader in today’s optical storage market. Unlike CDs and DVDs, which use a red laser to read and write data, a Blu-ray disk uses a blue laser, which dramatically increases capacities and data transfer rates over CDs and DVDs.
