An application of phase change optical media for a erasable compact disc(CD) has been studied. As the phase change optical disks have featuring properties; overwritable only by power modulation of a single laser beam and detectable reproducing signals directly by reflectivity changes, it can be said that they intrinsically have high compatibility with commercial read-only CD or write-once CD. Recording the CD format signals means pulse width modulation (PWM) recording at low linear velocity. Accordingly, teardrop shaped distortions of recording marks, which are common problems for heat-mode recording media, should be suppressed.

Individually addressable laser arrays can offer the simultaneous writing and/or reading of information with optical data storage media. Within the limits of the optical head, the data rates can be multiplied by the number of emitters in the array. We have fabricated addressable arrays which have demonstrated high power, stable mode behavior, and excellent uniformity of optical properties.

Magneto-Optical (MO) disk drives hold some winning cards to fight against Winchester drives: - huge bit densities - removable cartridges. But most analyses conclude that MO disks will overthrow magnetic disks in the field of data storage devices only when they will be competitive on other characteristics such as : - direct overwriting - access times - data transfert rate.

Optical media based on amorphous and crystal phase change have been studied in several laboratories[1][2]. A WORM (Write Once Read Many times) drive is commercially available today[3]. Regarding PCE (Phase Change Erasable) media, recent works have made advanced progress [4][5]. The optical data memory using PCE media has two big features. One is that it has one pass direct overwriting function. It is expected to improve the performance of the current rewritable optical memory. The another is that it has a high performance of handling both PCE and WORM media intrinsically, so-called a multi-function drive. In this paper, we will discuss how to have realized a multi -function drive and report compatibility test results among PCE and WORM media measured by the drive.
基于非晶和晶体相变的光学介质已经在多个实验室进行了研究。WORM (Write Once Read Many times,写一次读多次)驱动器现在已经商品化了。关于PCE (Phase Change Erasable)介质,最近的工作取得了进展b[4][5]。采用PCE介质的光数据存储器具有两大特点。一是它有一次直接覆盖功能。该方法有望提高现有可重写光存储器的性能。二是它本身具有处理PCE和WORM介质的高性能,即所谓的多功能驱动器。在本文中,我们将讨论如何实现一个多功能驱动器,并报告该驱动器测量的PCE和WORM介质之间的兼容性测试结果。

The LD-PD(1) is an oxidation-free, 1.3 µm wavelength InGaAsP laser diode monolithically integrated with a photodetector. A flying optical head(2) with an LD-PD on a slider is expected to be smaller, lighter, and less expensive than the conventional heads. In this paper, we analyze the read/write characteristics, the head/disk interface reliability, and the expected applications of the proposed head.

GE has been developing high performance recording systems for ruggedized and militarized applications, covering spaceborne, airborne, shipboard and mobile applications. Through sponsorship of the Air Force's Rome Air Development Center (RADC), the 14-inch Tactical Optical Disk System (TODS) is currently being designed and built for reconnaisance aircraft applications. These applications require real time data capture and online storage of large image and sensor database files, which must be stored and retreived rapidly. This requirement translates into high performance system specifications for the 14-inch TODS optical disk storage system. Of primary concern is high, continuous data transfer rates and large data storage capacities. Large image files cannot be segmented, thus requiring the system to contain the entire data file on a single media unit, and to stream the file at a very high data transfer rate.

Surface-relief diffractive elements show promise for magneto-optical data storage head applications due to their polarization selectivity, planar geometry, high diffraction efficiency, and manufacturability. In this paper, a rigorous vector coupled-wave model is presented and used in the design and tolerancing of diffractive optical components.

There is considerable interest in exploiting photosensitivity in germanosilicate optical fibres for application in the areas of optical communication and sensors. Hill et al [1] first observed permanent optically-induced changes of the refractive index of optical fibres in 1978. In their experiment coherent radiation at 514.5nm, reflected from the fibre ends, generated a standing wave in the fibre which induced a periodic refractive index change along its length. This formed a high reflectivity Bragg grating in the fibre which has a peak at the wavelength of the incident beam. Since then numerous studies into the grating growth mechanism and photosensitive fibres have been carried out [2],[3]. However, the mechanism which results in the perturbation to the refractive index of the fibre core is not fully understood. The spectral region where the fibre is photosensitive has been found to range from the uv to around 500nm.

A Scanning Optical Microscope (SOM) detects variations in the optical reflection of a focussed laser beam from a surface, and therefore the information it gives is directly comparable to the response of an optical disc player/recorder. However, being a microscope, it is not limited to signals along a single line across a surface (as in a recorder), but can provide 2-Dimensional images of local regions of the surface under a variety of optical detection schemes, resolutions and aberrations. It can thereby not only model the optical recorder response, but provide quantitative information on the physical origin of the contrast observed. In this summary we will briefly outline the possible uses of the SOM as a tool in Optical Recording, and provide a few examples of its application.
