A storage medium that uses light to read and write data, typically in the form of pits and lands on a reflective surface. Lasers detect changes in reflectivity to interpret binary data. Common examples include compact discs (CDs), digital versatile discs (DVDs), and Blu-ray discs, which offer varying storage capacities and data transfer rates.
