Briefly describe the process/technology used by dye-based optical storage devices/media (e.g., DVD-R) to write content to a disc.
Answer)
The Optical disc authoring the needed number of different optical disc recorder technology would function in tandem.
For recording the content to a disc there are many such formats that are mostly based on using the laser to change its reflectivity of the digital recording medium which would perform the duplicate effects of the pits which have been created using the commercial optical disc that is pressed. Some of the other techniques which are used are holographic data storage and the 3D optical data storage wherein the data storage method would be completely different.
The first of all being the magneto-optical which was using the magnetic field along with the laser to write it to the medium. There was also the use of NexT cube for MO media which was the standard storage device. And then the most common form was the recordable optical media with the use of write-once organic dye technology otherwise known as the CDR. This was meant for higher capacity media like the DVD-R. It used the laser along for scorching the transparent organic dye which could create the pits for the reflective spiral grooves. It used the R (recordable) suffix.
