Tech Square Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics. |

The intelligent chip has caused lengthy discussions on AA. The explanation as provided by the manufacturer "moving pits and lands across the CD's surface" seems to be BS, to put it simple.I'm not familiar with the field of quantum dots, so I had a look and found the following:
quantum dots are tiny (2-10 nm) semiconductors having both absorptive and emmissive characteristics, the wavelength of emitted radiation can be tailored by modifying composition, size and geometry of the dot.
The dots have electrical, optical and magnetic properties. They appear to need an external stimulus (voltage, heat, light) in order to be operational. The dots emit radiation from 350 nm up to infrared.
Quantum dots undergo natural degradation unless they are shelled or put into a matrix.
If my understanding of the working principles is correct, I'm asking what the external stimulus might be when you place the chip onto the CD player (as compared to when the chip is left its plastic case). The chip is claimed to have a limited number of charges, I could not find any background information on that.The chip is claimed to be able to detect defective pits and lands, it is also claimed to recognize a treated disc. Would this mean that the external stimulus has its origin in the CD itself, that some sort of signal, which must be voltage, heat or light, is coming from the CD when spinning? And that this signal is able to travel through the CD-player's housing ?
