![Sonys Potential Blu-ray Successor Fits an Entire Season of TV on One Disc [Guts]](http://nexgadget.com/images/Sonys-Potential-Bluray-Successor-Fits-an-Entire-Season-of-TV-on-One-Disc-Guts_-ayTt_0.jpg)
Sony just revealed the hot laser they\’re developing alongside Tohoku University. Despite the long run of physical media, the specs are astounding to think about.
The blue-violet laser fires ultra fast bursts of very thin beams of light. The wavelength measures 405 nanometers, pulsing for durations of 3 picoseconds. (A nanometer, as most of you know, is one billionth of a meter. And a picosecond is one-trillionth of a second.) The light output might be over 100x that of similar lasers.
Such a laser could read a next generation media with 20x the capacity of Blu-ray, meaning you might want to fit up to 50 movies on a single disc. Many have already stated, that\’s enough storage to fit a whole season of a TV show. But heck, that\’s enough to fit many complete TV series in the event you think of it.
