crazy to think that when lasers were first invented, they were considered "a solution looking for a problem". Now they're the solution to pretty much every problem.

Dang, was pleasantly surprised at the precision engraver at the end. 1/5th the power and making like 2/3rds of the surface power density. It isn't the size of your wattage, but how you use it.
In addition to wavelength affecting how light is refracted, wavelength also is hugely important in how much light diffracts which is why even purely reflective optics will perform better at smaller wavelengths!
Interesting, so what you're saying is that if I'm looking to design an imaging lens that is optimized for the UV-C region, I should look for a solution that uses only mirrors? I know that quartz and fluorite lenses are often used for this since they are some of the few materials that pass such short wavelengths well. I assume that a UV-C lens based on reflection only would be best made out of first surface reflection aluminium mirrors due to aluminium's high reflectance, even in UV-C.
I LOVE learning about about new things.... you have opened my eyes to SO MUCH that I never realized I had an interest in. THANK YOU! ....are you going to show us what that engraver is capable of doingt, and the differences between the 3 different lasers? I'm pretty sure you will, but I just want to remind you so you don't forget lol :) j/k
Excellent explanation! And that last scene with the rainbow, that was so intense. At first I noticed the Sun Dog and smiled to myself. Then I noticed the upper tangential arc without knowing what it is, and thought "hm, that's interesting". And then the upside down rainbow, and I lost my mind. And then you put the labels there!
Thanks, JustPyro :D Doing the voiceover is the part of making the videos I like the least. I'll never get comfortable with speaking a foreign language into a microphone... But I know many of you appreciate the voiceover, so I will keep on making them!
Amazing video! I had no Idea the wavelength/color of the beam influenced how we store information on optical media. Informative and professional video production as always!! just a shame i missed the early watch.
Hello, exce!!ent! A masterpiece of explanation, really well done with wonderfull schematics and comprehensive maths. Thanks a lot for your major contribution👍🖖👌
You didn't appear to put the link to the Fermilab video(s) in the description. Although I was JUST using the same photon energy calculator on Omnicalc the other day. I can't say enough how much I LOVE this site because it doesn't just do the calculation for you. It gives you the formula and explains the math, as well. Which is perfect because there's nothing I hate more than when somebody just tells me "this is how it works" without explaining why or how. By understanding the why and how of it, I can not only remember the idea a lot easier. But it makes a lot more sense. I'm not just memorizing some abstract idea. I'm actually UNDERSTANDING it intuitively. And that is the difference between actually knowing/learning something, and just remembering something. It's also why North American schools are horrible. All they do is tell you that initial idea without explaining how it works. Which infuriated me with math, because none of the concepts made any sense to me. Like most people, a lot of the math I learned just felt like some arbitrary BS somebody came up with for reasons. Because that's about as deep as the "how" and "why" of math goes until you get into post-secondary and you're taught by people who actually understand what they're teaching you and not just reading out of a book.
Naaa, i don't think that it's because of shorter focal length. Its because of the wavelength... You cannot focus to a spot smaller than the wavelength. (Maybe times some constant factor) Uncertainty principle?
You can see the line widths in the pictures, where I calculate the spot size. We are talking submillimeter. Like 0,15 mm when used correctly on the right materials. Thanks for watching!
I feel like lasers are double edged swords. They can bring benefits to technology and exploration to an extent being incomprehensible. Lasers however, can be dangerous too if misused or mislabeled.
Are there x-ray lasers? Couldn't an x-ray laser theoretically have ludicrous data density, or are we running into fundamental limits of optical technology in the UV range?
The first problem will probably be the laser simply passing through the medium, therefore, nothing could be read (or recorded, for that matter). Maybe by having the laser and the sensor on opposite sides of the disc, the sensor could register the slight variations between pits and lands. Which opens up another world of possibilities. Instead of binary, the pits would have varying depths, therefore varying degrees of transparency to X-rays, so if 8 levels of transparency are used, each pit (or pit-land/land-pit transition, if it is still done that way, which is the case with audio CDs), would be a byte, so 8x as much data could be stored, on top of the X-ray density possibility. This is still assuming it will be possible to record with X-rays in the first place. Ludicrous? I think we have entered Plaid territory.
"Now optical discs are being replaced by other technologies." Oh? Like what? As for archiving locally, which storage medium supposedly has longer shelf life and less cost per gigabyte than optical discs (especially single-layer Blu-ray)?
One time a standard DVD player engineer Wondered what the big deal was, and asked a bluray engineer what the capacity was, and the bluray engineer said what's your point?
Interesting. Still that leaves a question why CO2 laser cutters and CO2 medical lasers wich emit in the infrared are used for precision applications. Apart for the higher power output. Does that have to do with the beams shape?
Visible light lasers will be more precise, but I think CO2 lasers are precise enough - and cheaper for high output. There may also be some other advantages of CO2 lasers when it comes to medical use, but I am no expert on medical lasers. Thanks for the early watch!
There's a few reasons: 1) high power output - maximum power you can get out of a typical visible light diode laser is on the order of a few watts, the cheapest CO2 lasers hit 40W easily. Fibre coupled diode lasers can hit high power levels as well but I believe they're more expensive and have worse beam quality. They also operate in infra red. 2) Material absorption - visible light lasers tend not to be absorbed consistently by anything that's not black, because by definition if it isn't black it reflects at least some visible light. Common targets for laser cutting include wood and acrylic sheets which absorb the 10 micron CO2 laser wavelength really easily while diode lasers just pass right through (you can cut red or black acrylic with a violet diode laser if you're very patient though). Steel and other metals absorb certain other infrared wavelengths really well, which is what high output fibre coupled lasers target. 3) Beam size isn't that big of a deal for cutting - CO2 lasers can achieve sub mm spot size easily but the kerf of a laser cut will often be substantially larger than this because it doesn't need to be sub mm - a 1mm kerf already outperformed any other cutting system other than EDM by leaps and bounds and it's super easy to compensate for. The absorption part is key for medical applications too - in fact a number of different types of lasers are used for different targets. CO2 lasers are used for certain skin procedures and iirc laser eye surgery, while tattoo removal uses near infrared and visible light wavelengths that are absorbed by the target tattoo ink far more than the skin they're blasting through. Certain highly specialised eye procedures use blue lasers that go straight through the eye and hit the retina in very precise areas to treat certain conditions as well
0:55 Isn't the question of "Does the wavelength of a Laser make a difference to the capacity of a disk?" have a very intuitive answer of yes? The Thinner the wavelength of light, the higher resolution the laser is, allowing you to store data in smaller and smaller individually readable parts on the disk. Although I suppose you could do it with a larger wavelength by taking the average data in an area while the disk is moving to interpolate the data structure, but that would cause a tremendous amount of overhead. But a Laser Larger then the data packets wouldn't be able to write the data, since it would write in a larger radius then the data.
Deconvolution is still a problem that doesn't have a general solution. It helps to think of it from the frequency perspective, when you take the Fourier transform of the spatial data the two peaks blur into one.
What are you able to cut with these lasers?? In my job I installed/repair/train on laser cutters (amongst other things) pretty much the minimum is 30w although we do a 12w nobody buys it anymore. On the high end we go up to 150w but 40-100w are the most common. A 12w will cut 3mm mdf/ply/acrylic etc but its pretty slow, technically it can do a bit thicker but its painfully slow. I couldn't imagine how slow these are or are you only cutting like 0.5mm or card or something?
As I was watching I was just curious do you happen to have a video on how that laser tester works and what kind of material it's made of and stuff like that? And if not would you be willing to make one?
The shorter wavelength (ie: violet) interact more with mediums than the longer wavelength (ie: infrared), that's why violet is slower than infrared. As you recall it is the same thing as the fact that longer wavelength radio waves (ie: 2.4ghz wifi) pass thru concrete more readily than shorter wavelength (ie: 5ghz wifi) which is blocked by concrete. This is because of atomic arrangement in matter often repeat in a grid at a scale of Angstrom (eg: Ultraviolet's wavelength) so the peak & valley of the wave of incoming light that have wavelength matches the periodicity of this grid will interact with the medium most, while the longer the wavelength the harder for it to match this grid pattern and most often pass thru the material unimpededly (ie: transparent glass). Glass is an amorphous solid that has random crystal in it which made it mostly transparent, while actual mono-crystal have a very uniform grid that block only a specific wavelength that matched the grid (ie: useful as a laser window).
Hmm so there really is a limit to the density of optical storage... once you pass ultraviolet you just start destroying the media. Too bad, I was hoping to get terabyte gamma ray discs someday.
Too bad the explanation about focal length is wrong. That pretty much ruins the video. I usually like your stuff, but in this case you're teaching something wrong that will confuse people. Please take this down.
The wavelength also plays a huge role in making computer chips, specially processors. They use light sensitive chemicals to make them and the smaller the features on the chip the smaller the wavelength must be. If I remember correctly currently they are using UV light and actually use multiple different masks to shrink the feature size further. They are running into the problem that the smaller the wavelength the higher the energy the light has and they can't use any smaller wavelengths of light without damaging the chips.
The bigger problem is that at the scale they're now working there are only dozens of atoms in a feature and quantum effects come into play where they are not desired, inhibiting they intended function i.e; tunneling resulting current leakage.
@@belg4mit this is the real issue here.. with gates in the neighborhood of a few atom thickness quantum tunneling results in the leakage and the gates essentially impossible to “close”..
Yep. Actually the funniest thing is that with all that heavy struggle *and* success of making ever-increasingly performant computer chips, software industry has lost the once-had art of professionalism which would make things run with 10 to 1000 more performantly on existing chips. Meaning,90% to 99,9% of the software code - stored and ran - of "modern" mainstream software is purely unnecessary and useless code bloat, merely due to unprofessional coding.
Before I watch I wanna test my knowledge. I remember when bluray discs came out, it was advertised that blue wavelength discs could hold more data because the focal point was smaller than a regular red laser dvd. Thus being able to make the data points narrower on the disc. Edit: I was taught well :D
Perhaps a comparison between an optical microscope and an electron microscope is useful. One cannot see things with an optical microscope if the object is smaller than the wavelength of the light falling on it.
Yep ;) CO2 lasers (infrared) typically have high power outputs, but they are hard to focus down to small spots. Still, I really need a CO2 laser in my collection... Thanks for the early watch, Izzie!

Technically the capacity of the disc is from the amount of pits not the wavelength. Blu-rays are still read with red lasers.

Of course the color limits data capacity. Colors are associated with wavelengths and larger wavelengths cannot carry as much data, right?
