Hello everyone, I'm new here so please be easy on me. I had an idea one day while working. What if you could use a certain optical disk to make analogue sounds? It would work like this: Every optical hobbyist knows that if you hook up a headphone jack to a laser and a sound source you can modulate the laser. Now if you add a solar cell or a solar resistor to a headphone jack and plug it into the speakers and shine the laser at it, it will make a sound. That's how almost how CD lasers work I think except they store compression data instead without modulating it. Now say you had some sort of disk that using a modulated laser could basically burn analogue sound to it almost like what a magnet does to magnetic tape using the effect explained earlier. Could you could produce new vinyl record sound without the wear down that plagues the records and led it to it's doom? Or would it be just another failed project?
