Achieving Double Layer recording meant
the creation of a new substrate layer that
sits in between each recording layer that
was refl ective enough to ‘bounce’ the
laser beam back when recording to layer
0, but also transparent enough to let the
laser beam through to record to layer 1.
This achievement means
uninterrupted recording up to
55 minutes on an 8cm disc.
