Blue Semiconductor Laser
LaserWave II takes advantage of a new 50 mW visible blue semiconductor (diode) recording laser with a wavelength of 405 nm. This laser has numerous advantages including longer life, lower power consumption, lower noise (resulting in lower jitter recordings) lower operating cost, and a wavelength short enough to enable HD-DVD density mastering in combination with ODC’s exclusive high-resolution dye-polymer. The laser can also be modulated directly eliminating the need for a separate modulator in the optical path, simplifying the optical system, and allowing higher speed recording.

DRAW Mastering
LaserWave II features ODC’s exclusive DRAW (Direct Read After Write) Mastering. During DRAW Mastering, a red diode playback laser reads the pit recorded by the blue recording laser. DRAW Mastering then produces a real-time quality control feedback loop that instantly adjusts laser power and focus servos for optimum and consistent performance. This is why DRAW Mastering’s tight process control results in the industry’s highest production yields, especially for DVD.
Easily Switches Between CD and DVD
Unlike other “switchable” LBRs, the LaserWave II does not require time consuming re-optimization or test masters to be cut by the operator. LaserWave II’s closed-loop self-optimization automatically adjusts optics and mastering parameters for either DVD or CD with minimum impact on mastering overhead.
State-of-the-Art “Computer Assisted Mastering”
Based upon the Windows™ XP operating environment, LaserWave II software automatically controls mastering functions that usually require operator intervention in other manufacturer’s LBRs. The software uses a menu-driven graphical user interface with familiar Windows icons and a mouse. Seamless custom tailoring to specific requirement of replicators down to detailed write strategies is possible with ODC’s unique programmable TrueYield technology. Designed as an intelligent system LaserWave II features an open architecture design with onboard dual Pentium processors and a PCI bus with a passive backplane. PCBs have an onboard computer chip for communicating with the LaserWave II software, as well as with each other.
Built-in Network Capability
The LaserWave II can be managed locally or remotely with full mastering job status and monitoring capability. For remote operation, LaserWave II provides a job manager’s workstation with networking capability that supports bandwidths up to 1 Gigabit per second allowing for rapid job staging at a rate greater than three times the mastering speed. Single or multiple LBRs can be managed on the network from a single workstation.
