« Back to Instrumentation Analysis Resources

Four Dattarius CD analyzers and one DVD analyzer used to measure parameters related to optical disc quality and performance.

Applications:

  • determining the end-of-life of optical media to predict disc longevity
  • evaluation of the effects of devices or markings used for security or identification
  • determining the effects of different temperatures and relative humidites to select appropriate environmental storage conditions

Example project: CD-R and DVD-R, RW Longevity Research
