omggggggggg!!! 500mw is good! not to mention the thing it does with storage!! waheheehe i will save for this one.. so when it is released i will grab 2 of these... one for a laser project one for personal use wahehehhee

That media will be expensive!

If a 4-layer blu-ray disk would fit 100gb on it. Imagine what kind of quality u can have on a movie :D

Perhaps a full length 4k2k film, or imax.

Imax = 10000 x 7000 pixels
4k2k = 4096 x 2160 pixels

compare to your HDTV at 1920 x 1080 pixels (Current bluray technology).

What screens have 10k*7k resolution? :undecided:

when will this be released (the 500mw diode?)


First, the new BluRay standard for this has to be adopted by the industry. Then the quad layer discs need to be available.

If history is a prediction of the future, it will take a year for the new industry standard to be accepted.

Peace,

Before we can watch Imax quality movies on our TV, they will have to create better resolution screens (the best I know of is 1920p).

Laser TV, might be an answer... So one day why might be watching Imax quality movies on a laser TV with a 1 watt BR drive...


Sounds cool.

The IMAX... Obviously the projector would need to be able to support the resolution which would make it incredibly expensive. It would probably be worth it though because each current IMAX film needs enormous film reels that are handled by forklift/diddy crane. A single optical disc solution would be very valuable to them.

This type of storage medium will probably be most widely adopted by projects handling huge amounts of data like radio astronomy and particle physics.

And also most theaters are switching to digital projectors because they are simpler to operate, but they still have the problem of media storage. 100GB disks have a lot of possibilities in industry, especially in entertainment.

For the moment it is, but these technologies, hopefully, will become widely used in home intertainment, which will lower the cost drasticly.

The step they're talking about here, the AlON interlayer, is a trivial, almost zero increase in cost relative to the cost of the diode. It doesn't require a mask step, the materials (Al source, O2 and N2 gases) are cheap, and the deposition would be very short for such a thin layer. It's possible the deposition can be done in exactly the same tool they're using for the facet coatings anyway, so the added cost is almost entirely negligible. And the tool being used is a tool they already had for other depositions anyway, so there's no new tool to purchase.

Diodes in general are expensive, but the step they're talking about here is essentially nothing to the cost of the diode.

but im sure this step will be a lot to the buyers... New techs sell high... even if they dont cost that much more.
