FORMAT OF BD
It comes in four different formats: BD-ROM (read only) : for reading recorded content. BD-R (recordable) : for PC data storage.

THE TECHNOLOGY
Pits : spiral grooves
that run from the centre of the disc to its edges Bumps : other sides of these edges.
Track pitch : it is the distance between the two tracks (of pits) on the surface.
-------------------------------Disc store digitally encoded data in PITS.
--------------------------------
THE TECHNOLOGY
So, in blu-ray disc:
Pit size – 0.15 microns ( more than twice as small as the pits on
DVD )
Track-pitch is : 0.32 microns Laser needed : blueviolet laser (405 nm)
Data transfer rate : 36
Mbps
