When did we say anything about that? That's because each layer is coated with a fluorescent dye instead of a reflective coating.When the drive's red laser hits the layer, fluorescent light is emitted at a different wavelength than the source light, and that light is read by a sensor that filters out stray light and interference, thereby allowing only light containing data information to be detected. There ya go ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
