ABOUT THE OPTICAL PICKUP
The Compact Disc player uses a solid-state semi-conductor diode
laser, mounted on a tracking servo-mechanism, to play the disc.
The laser illuminates the track of microscopic pits representing
the digital data bits, while photo-diodes detect the reflected
illumination from the disc and convert it into an electronic signal
which is then decoded to recover the musical waveform in each
stereo channel.
You cannot see the laser operating, because it operates at
wavelength of 7800 Angstroms, which is in the infrared and thus
invisible to the human eye.
The Compact Disc player is completely safe for children to use.
The laser operates at very low power and is concealed within the
player mechanism. Even when the player is disassembled, the
laser remains sealed within an optical system that causes its light
to focus only 1 millimeter from the lens and then diverge rapidly,
reducing its intensity to negligible levels.
