No, Blu-Ray is an optical disk storage media, similar in operation to DVD and CD media.
The difference is that Blu-Ray has much higher capacity because it uses a blue LASER instead of the red LASER used for DVD and CD. The blue light can resolve smaller features than red light can, so the pits can be made smaller and closer together.
