美将建造两个大型引力波记录站

 美国科学家计划建造记录强大引力波的两个大型观测站,这项计划由加利福尼亚理工学院和马萨诸塞理工学院共同实施。众所周知,曾被爱因斯坦预言存在的引力波应该是由于巨大太空灾变而产生的时空连续统一体,巨大太空灾变是指超新星爆发、黑洞形成或近距离恒星作用等。但是迄今为止一直没有能成功发现引力波踪迹,为了记录引力波踪迹建造的LIGO观测站将由两个直径超过1米像“L”字母形式放置的空心圆柱体组成。两圆柱体内将保持超真空状态,它们的长度达到整整4000米。每个圆柱体内部将安放激光干涉仪:一边放有激光光源和激光自动记录仪,另一边是用导线悬挂带有反射镜面的重物。     

记录媒体用薄膜材料及相关靶材的技术和发展

 信息化时代随着计算机技术的普及来到我们面前,其突出表现是信息总量和信息交换的剧增,因此,发展海量存储技术日趋重要。随着信息及计算机技术的不断发展,对其作为主要工具的记录媒体的需求越来越大,要求越来越高。记录媒体中大多数磁盘、磁光盘、光盘是以相关靶材磁控溅射而成的,因此,为满足信息记录媒体的高密度化、小型化和低价格化,需要对其相关靶材的成分、制造工艺、性能和溅射工艺做进一步研究。目前,随着新材料的开发和记录媒体的发展,磁光盘、光盘用靶材市场在不断增长。尤其近几年CD、VCD、DVD市场的迅速扩大,其相关靶材的前景也日益被看好。     

Small Stress Change Triggering a Big Earthquake： a Test of the Critical Point Hypothesis for Earthquakes

Whether or not a small stress change can trigger a big earthquake is one of the most important problems related to the critical point hypothesis for earthquakes. We investigate global earthquakes with different focM mechanisms which have different levels of ambient shear stress. This ambient stress level is the stress level required by the earthquakes for their occurrence. Earthquake pairs are studied to see whether the occurrence of the preceding event encourages the occurrence of the succeeding one in terms of the Coulomb stress triggering. It is observed that the stress triggering effect produced by the change of Coulomb failure stress in the same order of magnitudes,about 10-2 MPa, is distinctly different for different focal mechanisms, and thus for different ambient stress levels.For non-strike-slip earthquakes with a relatively low ambient stress level, the triggering effect is more evident,while for strike-slip earthquakes with a relatively high ambient stress level, there is no evident triggering effect.This water level test provides an observational support to the critical point hypothesis for earthquakes.     

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。     

一种新的超分辨记录点的读出技术

提出一种新的超分辨记录点的读出技术—超分辨反射膜技术，详细分析了其原理。用该技术，以Sb为超分辨反射膜，SiN为介电层，在激光波长为632．8nm和光学头的数值也径为0．40的读出光学系统中实现了直径为380nm的超分辨记录点的读出。同时研究了Sb薄膜厚度对读出信噪比的影响规律，发现最佳的Sb薄膜厚度为28～30nm，所得的信噪比为38～40dB。     

LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu晶体吸收特性及非挥发全息存储研究

研究了LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu晶体的吸收特性,发现LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu（含0.14 wt.% Cr2O3 和 0.011 wt.% CuO）晶体存在两个明显的吸收峰,中心波长分别位于480 nm和660 nm; 随着Cr的含量逐渐减小,Cu的含量逐渐增大,短波段不存在明显吸收峰,掺Cr的含量越大,中心波长在660 nm处的吸收越大；633 nm红光虽然位于中心波长为660 nm的吸收峰内,但它无助于光折变过程.分别采用390 nm紫外光和488 nm蓝光作为敏化光,514 nm绿光作为记录光的记录方案,实现了非挥发全息记录,掺入适量的Cr( 比如NCr=2.795×1025 m－3,NCr/ NCu=1)有助于全息记录性能的提高.

Optical Recording Properties of Metal-Azo Dye as Recording Medium with Super-Resolution Near-Field Structure

A novel metallized azo dye has been synthesized. The absorption spectra of the thin film and thermal characteristic are measured. Static optical recording properties with and without the Bi mask layer super-resolution near-field structure （Super-RENS） of the metal-azo dye are investigated. The results show that the metal-azo dye film has a broad absorbance band in the region of 450-650 nm and the maximum absorbance wavelength is located at 603 nm. It is also found that the new metallized azo dye occupies excellent thermal stability, initiatory decomposition temperature is at 270℃ and the mass loss is about 48% in a narrow temperature region （15℃）. The complex refractive index N （N = n ＋ iκ） is measured. High refractive index （n = 2.45） and low extinction coefficient （κ = 0.2） at the recording wavelength 65Ohm are attained. Static optical recording tests with and without Super-RENS are carried out using a 65Ohm semiconductor diode laser with recording power of 7mW and laser pulse duration of 200ns. The AFM images show that the diameter of recording mark on the dye film with the Bi mask layer is reduced about 42%, compared to that of recorded mark on the dye film without Super-RENS. It is indicated that Bi can well performed as a mask layer of the dye recording layer and the metallized azo dye can be a promising candidate for recording media with the super-resolution near-field structure.
