Sure, here is the content of the slides without the speaker notes:

Slide 1
Title: Optical Memory: A Revolution in Data Storage

Slide 2
● Optical memory stores data using lasers and light reflection.
● CDs revolutionized data storage with high capacity and low cost.
● This presentation covers various optical disk technologies: CD, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD, Blu-ray, and HD DVD.

Slide 3
Compact Disk (CD)

● Made of polycarbonate disc with pits and lands reflecting laser light.
● Read by laser and photodetector, converting pits to digital data.
● Advantages: high capacity (650MB), low cost, durable.
● Disadvantages: read-only, slow access time (half a second).

Slide 4
CD-ROM and CD-R

● CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) stores pre-recorded data.

● Similar to audio CDs but with error correction for data integrity.
● CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) allows one-time writing using a higher-intensity laser.
● Ideal for archival storage and data distribution due to low cost and durability.

Slide 5
CD-RW (CD Rewritable)

● Can be erased and rewritten multiple times using phase-change technology.

● Offers flexibility like magnetic disks but with higher capacity and longer lifespan.
● Limitations: slower than magnetic disks, limited rewrite cycles (500,000-1,000,000).

Slide 6
Digital Versatile Disk (DVD)

● Successor to CD with significantly higher capacity (4.7GB to 17GB).

● Achieved through smaller pits, dual layers, and double-sided format.
● Various formats available: DVD-ROM (read-only), DVD-R (recordable once), DVD-RW
(rewritable).
● Applications in video, data storage, and software distribution.

Slide 7
High-Definition Optical Disks (HD DVD and Blu-ray)

● Compete for high-definition video storage with even higher capacity.

● Blu-ray uses blue-violet laser and closer data layer for smaller pits (25GB).
● Versions include BD-ROM (read-only), BD-R (recordable once), BD-RE (rewritable).

Slide 8
Conclusion

● Optical memory revolutionized data storage with high capacity, durability, and versatility.
● Impacts entertainment, IT, education, and more.
● Future trends include higher capacity, faster speeds, and new applications.
