Groove

It is composed of polycarbonate layer, alloy(silver, arsenic) layer, aluminum reflectivity layer, protective layer.

An crystalized alloy layer is transformed into noncrystalized by the laser heat. Therefore, writing and reading is enabled by the difference of reflectivity.

It is possible to overwrite about 1000 times.

Laser Wavelength : 780 nm, Laser Power (Read) : 1.0mW

Recording Power : Erase (4~18mW), Write (6~45mW)

When disc rewriting, new data is overwritten previously recorded data.

Polycarbonate layer has a Pre-Groove which make a track.
