Is Blu-ray Disk is optical disk?
Yes, a Blu-Ray device is an optical reader. CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Rays are called Optical Devices because the reader looks at the disks using light. The light is a laser. Just like a DVD, a Blu-Ray uses a laser beam to light up and read the information on the disk. This is like an old record needle running along a record groove and reading the information. However, the laser used by CD's, DVD's and Blu-Rays does not touch the disk. It just lights it up. The difference between DVD's and Blu-Rays is the colour of laser. DVD's use a red laser light, Blu-Rays use one that is blue. Different coloured laser beams read different sizes. Writing and reading on a DVD with a red laser beam is like using a crayon, a blue beam is like a sharp pencil. The Blu-Ray is an optical device, just like a DVD, but because it uses a "finer pencil" it can put more information onto the disk.
