CD-Audio is broadly seen as a success-story. For good reasons. The CD-Audio is a worldwide recognized standard; the underlying Red Book (1 982) its carefully and well protected by Philips and Sony. The industrial involvement of third parties is promoted by a non-discriminatory licensee policy. All this has led to an annual market volume of more than three billion discs involving a family of CD type application standards: CD-Audio, CD-ROM, CD-i, CD-R and CD-E. All these applications are based on the mechanical, opto-electronical, disc-layout and data encoding specifications described in the Red Book of 1 980. Since then a variety of technological improvements were developed leading to proposals for a new "Red Book". These trials were unsuccessful (for good reasons) until a broad consortium of companies went for a massive support towards the Digital Video Disc, DVD, standard. The DVD standard presents a challenging update of the Red Book for its technology as well as for its applications. Referring to the large variety of publications and press releases, the DVD product is certainly the most widely supported and most optimistically forecasted medium since the introduction of the CD. It happens that the optical industry has quite some experience with optimistically forecasts. These overestimations were partially attributable to inappropriate product positioning, to inadequate market volume assumptions and due to wrong assumptions on the time it would take to commercialize a new product. In looking back to this past and learning form the history of magnetic recording as well, we have to recognize that a variety of factors co-determine the success or failure in the market place. The purpose of this contribution is to evaluate the position of DVD. After summarizing the functionalities of the DVD standard, the growth factors will be summarized by evaluating the initial growth of the CD-Audio, the CD-ROM and the CD-R markets. Based on these experiences the prospects of the DVD will be discussed in terms of their most potential applications and their most relevant factors for their market growth.

We have developed a testing system with 514.5 nm argon ion laser to test the static properties of optical disks. The whole testing system is controlled by a computer. The laser power, pulse duration time and external applied magnetic field can be adjusted in a wide range. The focused spot size is less than 1 micrometers on the recording layer which allows high laser power irradiation, up to 30 mW. This testing system can evaluate the writing and erasing characteristics of phase-changes and magneto-optical disks. The design idea and experimental results of this testing system are presented.

The optical properties of GeSb2Te4 thin films prepared by vacuum RF-sputtering method at the wavelength region of 400 - 830 nm were studied. A comparatively large absorption was observed in the wavelength range 400 - 600 nm, which matches with the wavelengths of Argon laser. The optical storage characterizations of GeSb2Te4 thin film demonstrate clearly that larger reflectivity contrast can be obtained at lower power Argon laser (514.5 nm) irradiation. The erasing contrast is relatively lower but can be improved by multi-layer films match.

This paper reports our study of a novel image sequence coding scheme based on 3D image segmentation. The intervals between successive reference frames are adaptively adjusted to increase the compensability of image sequences. The bit rate allocation takes the advantage of the temporal masking of human vision system.

The spectrum characteristic and photostability of three near-infrared absorbing cyanine dyes with typical structure have been studied. The results show that the stability of three dyes with molecular structure of heterocyclic stem nuclei against photooxidation is in such order: benzoxazole > benzothiazole > benselenazole. It was found through quenching experiments that the photooxidation of cyanine dyes not only relates to the singlet oxygen but also to the superoxide anoin, however single oxygen plays a dominant role. We have succeeded in drastically improving the photostability of three cyanine dyes by using a dithiol nickel chelate as a singlet oxygen quencher.
