Head–disk interface problems in first-surface near-field optical recording with flying optical head

Near-field recording (NFR) technology using a flying optical head is applied for high density optical data storage. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) film and PFPE lubricant film are coated on utmost NFR disk to reduce the tribological problems. A contamination at the head–disk interface (HDI), especially on a solid immersion lens (SIL) is observed. The contaminants are composed of dust materials from the surroundings and lubricant materials from a disk surface. The contaminants are supposed to be condensed by heat from a writing laser beam at the HDI. To avoid the contamination problem, a cover-layer is coated and a focal plane moved under the cover-layer from the HDI. First-surface near-field recording configuration can be modified by laminating a cover-layer, which enhances the possibility of a practical application with a media removability function.     

Properties of a two-beam laser diode and focusing characteristics of a two-beam optical head

Dynamic wavelength shifts of a monolithic, two-beam laser diode for a two-beam optical head in optical disk drives were analyzed with a streak camera system. The wavelength shift did not exceed 3 nm for the recording beam which was operated in a series of pulses, and the reproducing beam which was operated continuously showed no shift. The focusing characteristics on the basis of the wavelength shift and specifications of the optical head were also calculated. The dynamic displacement of the focal points caused by the wavelength shifts was so small as compared with the depth of focus in the optical head that the recording and reproducing characteristics were hardly influenced.     

Analysis of detected signal performance in multi-tracks of optical disk memory using convex-shaped recording mark

The possibility of multi-valued optical disk memory by using a convex-shaped recording mark fabricated by two-photon absorption is investigated. We fabricate a numerical model for convex-shaped recording marks and evaluate the signal characteristics in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The numerical results show that 6 bit data can be realized when the acceptable average SNR is 2 and a length of the mark is 4T.

Optical Pickup with a Spherical Aberration Compensator Using a Crossed-Stripe Liquid Crystal Device

To increase recording density in an optical disk system, a two-lens system which enlarge its numerical aperture (NA) has been developed. When NA becomes larger, however, the spherical aberration due to disk thickness error increases. We propose an optical pickup with a spherical aberration compensator using nematic liquid crystal (LC). Our LC device is composed of two LC cells each of which has X and Y stripe electrodes, respectively. We discussed how the spherical aberration due to the disk thickness error can be compensated by combination of two crossed cylindrical phase distributions induced by the LC cells, and confirmed the compensation effect in a design example by simulation. We have also fabricated the crossed stripe LC device actually, and have obtained the experimental result which shows that amount sufficient to compensate the aberration is achieved.

Development of optical disk technology in the 1990s

The fundamentals of current optical disk technology were developed in the 1970s, and the optical disk production facilities and business infrastructure were installed in the 1980s. Thus, we are now entering the third decade of the history of optical disk technology. It will be very interesting to see whether we can keep up the same momentum in technological development during the 1990s. In this paper, the state of the art of the current technologies and some of future developments in the 1990s are discussed. A wide range of techniques for increasing the recording density and obtaining higher transfer rates are discussed.     

Single-longitudinal-mode optical parametric oscillator for spectroscopic applications

We have developed a tunable, narrow-bandwidth nanosecond optical parametric oscillator system and applied it to spectroscopic studies. The system consists of a narrow-bandwidth grazing-incidence oscillator and a seeded power oscillator, generating Fourier-transform-limited 1.5-ns pulses (bandwidth <500 MHz) in the wavelength range 435 to 2000 nm with energy of 3.5 mJ at a pump energy of 22 mJ. Continuous scanning over 30 to 100 GHz (depending on wavelength) is demonstrated by recording of the resonance line of the Hg atom at 253.7 nm and a vibrational transition of the CO (2) molecule at 1528 nm.     

A Differential Phase Detection Method for Tracking-Error Signals Using a Monolithic Confocal Laser Coupler

We previously presented the differential phase detection method using a monolithic confocal laser coupler with a confocal knife edge structure (the CKE device), which we call the CKE Pit-Edge method and which is applied to an optical disk system in which the disk has a pit depth of λ/4n. In this paper, the experimental results using this new method are reported. The experimental results agree well with the calculated results. Thus, tracking-error signals, which are very stable in the face of radial lens displacement, can be obtained for an optical disk with any pit depth using the CKE Push-Pull method and the CKE Pit-Edge method.

Higher-order optical resonance node detection of integrated disk microresonator

We have demonstrated higher-order optical resonance node detection by using an integrated disk microresonator from through port of the coupling bus waveguide. In addition to the fundamental mode, the disk resonator has higher-order whispering gallery modes. The excited second-order higher-order mode has a node at the position where the electromagnetic energy of the fundamental mode is close to a maximum. This high resolution measurement of optical resonance mode profile has a variety of applications for optical sensing and detection. The self-referencing characteristics of the two optical resonance modes have potential to achieve optical detection independent of external perturbation, such as temperature change.

Flattop beam illumination for 3D imaging ladar with simple optical devices in the wide distance range

We have developed an illumination optical system for 3D imaging ladar (laser detection and ranging) which forms flattop beam shape by transformation of the Gaussian beam in the wide distance range. The illumination is achieved by beam division and recombination using a prism and a negative powered lens. The optimum condition of the transformation by the optical system is derived. It is confirmed that the flattop distribution can be formed in the wide range of the propagation distance from 1 to 1000 m. The experimental result with the prototype is in good agreement with the calculation result.     

Diffractive optical elements and quasioptical schemes for experiments on a high-power terahertz free-electron laser

We have developed reflective diffraction optical elements (DOE) for focusing monochromatic coherent radiation of 400 W terahertz Novosibirsk free-electron laser (FEL). Operational characteristics of two modifications of the refractive kinoform lenses were studied. Quasioptical Toepler system with terahertz radiation recording by a thermosensitive luminescent screen was fabricated for the examination of film and solid deformation. A system for real-time terahertz radioscopy of objects with image recording with a microbolometer matrix (MBM) was fabricated. Images of objects illuminated with a plane wave or diffuse radiation were studied with the MBM. It was shown that the speckle pattern, which appears in the second case, can be averaged by means of the scatterer rotation.     

In vivo optical neural recording using fiber-based surface plasmon resonance

We propose an intrinsic optical method for in vivo neural recording using optic fiber-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomena. The fiber-based SPR method is electrical artifact free, labeling free, and feasible for a portable system compared with conventional in vivo neural recording systems. We simultaneously detected SPR signals and electrical neural activity from the rat somatosensory cortex evoked by electrical stimulation on the forepaw. Pharmacological analysis using a voltage-gated sodium channel blocker confirmed the neural origins of the optical signals. This fiber-based SPR system promises the enhanced ability to record in vivo neural activity for the investigation of neurons and their networks.
