Piano-Convex Solid Immersion Mirror with a Small Aperture for Near-field Optical Data Storage

We proposed and developed a new solid immersion mirror (SIM) for near-field optical data storage. The SIM has some advantages, especially in manufacturing, because its shape is similar to a general plano-convex lens. Making an aperture of about 130 nm in diameter just on the focus area of the SIM, a bit-data recording onto a photochromic thin film was carried out. Minimum diameter of the written marks was estimated to be 180nm. We also demonstrated readout experiments where a recorded medium was rotating and a gap between the SIM and the disk was controlled with capacitance sensing. This is the first result of reading with a rotating disk using an SIM containing a small aperture.This paper was originally presented at the 10th Optical Near Field Workshop, which was held on June 27-28, 2001 at Osaka University, organized by the Optical Near Field Group, the Optical Society of Japan, an affiliate of the Japan Society of Applied Physics.     

Diffraction grating with suppressed zero order fabricated using dielectric forces

An electric-field-assisted method to produce diffractive optical devices is demonstrated. A uniform film of liquid UV curable resin was produced as a drying ring from an organic solvent. Dielectrophoresis forces maintained the stability of the thin film and also imprinted a periodic corrugation deformation of pitch 20 μm on the film surface. Continuous in situ voltage-controlled adjustment of the optical diffraction pattern was carried out simultaneously with UV curing. A fully cured solid phase grating was produced with the particular voltage-selected tailored optical property that the zero transmitted order was suppressed for laser light at 633 nm.

Optical Recording Performance of Azo Nickel Chelate Thin Film

The absorption,transmission and reflection spectra of spin-coated films of Ni(azo)2 (azo nickel chelate) were measured. Because of the intermolecular aggregation,the absorption peak of Ni(azo)2 thin film has a red-shift of about 40 nm with respect to that of it in methanol solution. The fabricated optical disk showed a reflectivity of 48% and its carrier-noise ratio (CNR) was greater than 45 dB when recording with 7.5 mW laser power at the wavelength of 780 nm.

Study of an organic nonlinear optical material for nanoscale data storage by scanning tunneling microscope

In this paper, organic thin films of a nonlinear optical (NLO) material ((E)-1-ferrocenyl-2-(l-methyl-4-pyridiniumyl) ethylene iodide) were prepared by a vacuum deposition method. The typical I–V curve of the film exhibits a favorable room-temperature bistability. Further recording experiments have been performed with a scanning tunneling microscope, which confirmed that the thin film of the donor–π–acceptor NLO material could certainly be applied for nanoscale data storage. The average size of the recorded marks is about 1.5 nm. Mechanism analyses suggest that the formation of the recording dots is due to the local change of electrical property of the thin film, and the intermolecular charge transfer induced by an electric field is proposed as the reason for the change.

蓝光相变光盘的多层膜结构设计

为了使光盘获得优良的记录／读出性能并能够长期稳定地使用，必须优化设计相变光盘的多层膜结构。采用自行设计的模拟分析相变光盘读出过程设计软件，从光学角度出发模拟计算了蓝光(405nm)相变光盘的膜层结构，研究了多层膜系的反射率和反射率对比度等光学参量与各层膜厚度和槽深的关系。研究得出的最佳多层膜结构为：下介电层／记录层／上介电层／反射层的厚度对于台记录为100nm／10nm／25nm，／60nm，而对于槽记录则为140nm／15nm／30nm，／60nm，槽深为50nm。模拟计算结果对于将来高密度蓝光相变光盘的制备具有一定的指导意义。     

Design of multilayer high-dispersion mirrors using multi-swarm optimization method

Design of high-dispersion mirrors (HDMs) using a proposed multi-swarm optimization method is reported. We design HDMs for Yb:YAG disk oscillator at 1030 nm and ultrashort pulse Cr:YAG laser at 1550 nm. The results show that the optimum group delay dispersion and reflectance can be obtained with optimal number of layers. The proposed optimization method has a fast convergence rate and powerful global search ability and can be utilized effectively for the design of a variety of optical thin film filters.     

Hard protective waterproof coating for high-power laser optical elements

We developed a new method for making a waterproof coating by photooxidation of silicone oil. The silicone oil was spin coated onto the surfaces of optical elements, i.e., a plastic lens, a laser mirror, and a nonlinear optical crystal, and then irradiated with a xenon excimer lamp in air, which transformed the organic silicone oil into an amorphous glass film. This technique has enabled an optical thin film to transmit ultraviolet rays of wavelengths below 200 nm and to exhibit the characteristics of homogeneity, high density, and resistance to environmental effects and to corrosion by water, and a Mohs scale value of 5.

Structural changes in tin oxide thin film with laser exposure

The effects of laser irradiation on the surface, structure and optical properties of SnO thin films deposited on glass substrates using electron beam evaporation, are investigated. The thin film samples are irradiated using fundamental beam at 1064 nm from Q-switched Nd:YAG pulsed laser with different power densities. Structural morphology of the film is investigated using XRD patterns and AFM image. Both XRD pattern and AFM image show increase in grain size of the film with increasing laser power density. Other optical phenomena, photoluminescence emission, transmission, refractive index determination and optical band gaps calculations are also carried out at various laser power densities. Results from all these investigations reveal expansion in grain size of the crystalline SnO thin film with increasing laser power density.

1 064 nm与532 nm激光对电子束蒸发制备的HfO2/SiO2高反膜损伤比较

 研究了电子束蒸发制备的HfO₂/SiO₂高反膜在1 064 nm与532 nm激光辐照下的损伤行为。基频激光辐照时损伤形貌主要为节瘤缺陷喷溅留下的锥形坑,当能量密度较大时出现分层剥落;二倍频激光损伤主要是由电子缺陷引起的平底坑,辐照脉冲能量密度稍高时也会产生吸收性缺陷引起的锥形坑,但电子缺陷的损伤阈值更低;随着辐照脉冲能量密度的增大分层剥落逐渐成为主要的损伤形貌。分析认为,辐照激光波长的变化,引起吸收机制的变化从而导致了损伤阈值及损伤机制的差异。     

Solid state solvation in amorphous organic thin films

The photoluminescence (PL) of the red laser dye DCM2, doped into blended thin films of polystyrene (PS) and the polar small molecule camphoric anhydride (CA), redshifts as the CA concentration increases. The DCM2 PL peaks at 2.20 eV (lambda=563 nm) for pure PS films and shifts to 2.05 eV (lambda=605 nm) for films with 24.5% CA (by mass). The capacitively measured electronic permittivity also increases from epsilon=2.4 to epsilon=5.6 with CA concentration. These results are consistent with the theory of solvatochromism developed for organic molecules in liquid solvents. To our knowledge, this work is the first application of a quantitative theory of solvation to organic molecules in amorphous thin films with continuously controllable permittivity, and demonstrates that "solid state solvation" can be used to predictably tune exciton energies in organic thin film structures.
