Did anyone ever play with a digital turntable.

They say they are totally analog in the signal,but I'm still trying to get my thoughts around this.A phono cartridge works on electro-mechanical energy to produce the sound it picks up from riding the groove.I'm curious what process the laser uses to extract the information from the groove to reproduce the music and to keep it pure analog as it claims? It seems as tho it would have to do this by light or infrared energy and then covert it to analog? I just don't see how this eliminates the digital process? I;m not talking about the laser control,just strictly the audio portion.
