How Small are the Pits on a CD?

“So there is plenty of room at the bottom! Don't tell me about microfilm! ” - Richard P. Feynman

Track Density and Data Density
The CD is 12 cm in diameter, 1.2 mm thick, has a center hole 1.5 cm in diameter, and spins at a constant linear
velocity (CLV) or constant angular velocity (CAV).
There is only one track on the optical disk and all data are stored in a spiral of about 2 billion small pits on the surface. There are about 30,000 windings on a CD - all part of the same track. This translates into about 16,000
tracks per inch and an areal density of 1 Mb/mm2.
The total length of the track on a CD is almost 3 miles.

CD Versus DVD
![Page 6: Optical Memory](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081717/5532da534a795936578b4702/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
CD in Cross-section
A CD can store up to 74 minutes of music, so the total amount of digital data that must be stored on a CD is:
2 channels 44,100 samples/channel/second 2 bytes/sample 74 minutes 60 seconds/minute = 783,216,000 bytes
To fit more than 783 megabytes onto a disk only 12 cm in diameter requires that the individual bits be very small.

Focused Laser Beam Reading the Pits on a CD Surface
The laser beam (wavelength ~ 780 nm) is focused onto the data side of the disk (focused spot diameter ~ 1mm). The laser moves in the radial direction over the fast spinning disk and scans the data track.
Pits are 120 nm deep and 600 nm wide.

Why Focus the Laser Light through the Substrate?
Keeping your fingers off of the CD reduces oil and dust, which helps keep the laser and motor inside the drive clean

Three-beam Tracking
On the top and bottom frames, the central spot B has drifted to one side of the track. In the center frame, the central spot B is correctly located over the track.

Electrical Waveform

Sampling and Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC)
As the sampling rate and precision of analog to digital conversion increase, the fidelity (i.e., the similarity between the original wave and the “digitized” wave) improves. In the case of CD sound, the sampling rate is 44,100 samples per second . At this level, the playback signal so closely matches the original waveform that the sound is essentially perfect to the human ear.

Translating Binary Digits to Pits

Note: DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc

Writable Optical Memory
CD-R has no pits
A transparent Dye layer covers the “mirror” surface
Write Laser heats the dye layer to make it opaque at some places
Read Laser senses difference of reflectivity
Dye Material –Cyanine Dye Blue disc (stable) –Phthalocyanine Gold (long lasting) –Azo Dark Blue (long lasting)
In average, the data can last from 75 to 300 years

ReferencesRewritable Optical Memory
CD-RW has no pits
Dye layer can be converted repeatedly from opaque to transparent and vice versa
Dye layer’s transparency is a function of temperature
By changing power (hence temperature) of write laser the data can be rewritten
