Preparation of grating from CD-R: the top protective layer was
peeled off by exfoliation using a tape after delineation of the
surface with a sharp cutter. Different brands of CDs have
different corrugation depth and grating shape.
For DVD, it has a strong protective layer, the inner surface was
exposed by first mechanically cutting a notch into the side of the
disc and then applying mechanical force to peel the two sides
apart.
Blue ray has nearly sinusoidal grating shape and therefore no
need to modify it chemically.
Period of CD-R is 1600 nm, DVD is 740 nm and Blue-ray is 320
nm. Aluminium is used as the coating for blu-ray as its silver has
enhanced absorption around 32 nm where the resonance occur for
blu ray.
Untreated gratings from CD and less shap peaks due to
unevenness and irregularity of the gratings periodicity and shape.
Alternative methods to modify the topography is by heat
treatment e.g. 150 degree celcius for 5 min or 140 degree celcius
for 30 min in an oven.
Low surface roughness is important for observing higher quality
factors. The surface roughness of silver layers is increased by
rapid silver evaporation. It can be reduced by reducing
evaporation rate of silver.
