Rotational speed of optical drives and servo speed of optical pick-up actuators should be higher to meet high performance for optical drives. One of the methods to achieve such a high performance product is to increase an input power for the coil, but a heat problem generated by the coil will become serious. Two kinds of new ferrofluids have been designed to transfer a heat from the coil of optical pick-up actuator. Their physical properties have been properly designed to be functioned at a wide operating temp. and various aspects of their reliability including resistance for deterioration to high temp. and humidity, etc., have been evaluated. Also, they have been applied to optical pick-up actuators and the properties of ferrofluids such as heat transfer and shock resistance have been examined. The life tests showed that the new ferrofluids had at least two times longer life and a smaller viscosity change than CF-3A, which has been used in commercially available optical pick-up actuators. The new ferrofluids could tolerate the shock of 500 G without a ferrofluid splash, the coil temp. with the ferrofluid was about 10 degrees C or more lower than the one without it at the same input power.

The following is a historical perspective of the significant technological demonstrations that shaped the history of high power semiconductor lasers, This article is not meant to be a re view article, as there are much better review articles and reviewers available, nor would the article try to cover all of the contributions to such a rich technology. Nonetheless, this article will, anecdotally, present a perspective on the technological advances that resulted in the enabling technology of high power semiconductor lasers for applications such as fiber optic communications, datastorage, and material processing.

A review of small form factor opticalstorage (media diameters less than 50 mm) is presented with emphasis on the development of near-field technology. The current efforts are summarized together with the commercially desired attributes. The results of the examination of gallium phosphide (GaP) and diamond solid immersion lenses in conjunction with evanescent coupling are presented. A polarization-based gap error signal (GES) technique for air-gap servocontrol is described. Results indicate that the method is relatively insensitive to contamination on the surface and can resolve 100-nm surface features. A 50-GB 120-mm read-only memory (ROM) disc was successfully read and the results indicate that a 10-GB 32-mm diameter RW/ROM optical disc based on 650-nm lasers should be feasible.

Thermal-fixing holographic storage in photorefractive crystals is an effective nonvolatile storage technique for stabilizing holograms against the optical erasure. The developing characteristics of fixed holograms in iron-doped lithium niobate dominate their final diffraction efficiencies after developing, provided that the ionic compensation in the fixing stage is nearly complete. Developing kinetics of fixed holograms under homogeneous illumination is studied. The effect of developing light intensity on developing efficiency has been demonstrated experimentally. The fixed holograms with the same initial recording grating strength are developed under illumination of the different light intensities, such as 200mW/cm(2), 400mW/cm(2), 600mW/cm(2). and 800mW/cm(2), respectively. The fixed holograms with the different initial recording grating strengths are developed under illumination of the same light intensities as well. The overdeveloping characteristics of fixed holograms are described. The developing efficiency of the hologram with a given initial recording grating strength is found to depend on the intensity of developing light. These features can be explained with the joint effect of the resulting space-charge holographic field of the fixed hologram and the photovoltaic field under homogeneous illumination.

In this paper, a finite-element model of a slim optical disk drive is developed to investigate the transient response of the sled base and disk. The model is simplified by using beam, shell and lumped parameter elements, in order to decrease the computational time. After the dynamic characteristics of the finite-element model have been verified by modal test, the shock response is obtained and compared with the results of a drop test. Finally, dynamic characteristics are modified to improve the shock performance.

Actuators for objective lens positioning are indispensable components for writing and reading data to and from opticalstorage media. Significant advances in the technical capabilities of microlens actuators for optical heads have been achieved using MEMS technology, enabling miniaturisation and integration of opticaldatastorage systems. In this reported work, a compact silicon-on-glass (SOG) actuator for two-dimensional (2D) positioning of a dispensed polymer microlens is developed by MEMS technology. A wafer-level process for fabrication of the SOG actuator is achieved using anodic bonding, in which a Pyrex wafer was bonded with an ultra-thin silicon wafer. Dispensed polymer microlenses are fabricated and subsequently integrated onto the 2D actuator by an automatic handling system. Typical displacements of about +/- 28.6 mu m in the tracking direction and 3.2 mu m in the focusing direction are experimentally characterised. The compact 2D SOG actuator and assembly technology may be particularly useful for expanding the application area for the optical head.

opticalstoragetechnology is characterized by the combination of high storage density, high data rate, fast access time, high reliability and media removability. The paper discusses innovations in component technologies that are leading to rapid advances in the opticalstoragetechnology. The appearance of improved storage management software will continue to extend the application potential of optical disk libraries beyond the more traditional backup and archival functions.

In the past few years microfilm has gained new research interest as a medium for long-term storage of digital data. This became particularly possible by recent advances in laser film recording technology. In contrast to other optical or magnetic storage media, the microfilm digital channel (MDC) still has been subject to characterization in only a few publications. In this paper we investigate iterative channel codes for the MDC, in particular low-density parity-check and turbo convolutional codes. Simulation results show that practically error-free storage can be achieved with code rates even above 0.85 on a monochrome MDC with binary amplitude-shift keying modulation.

A desktop design and manufacturing system for binary diffractive elements, MacBEEP, was developed with the optical researcher in mind. optical processing systems for specialized tasks such as cellular automation computation and fractal measurement were constructed. A new family of switchable holograms has enabled several applications for control of laser beams in optical memories. New spatial light modulators and optical logic elements have been demonstrated based on a more manufacturable semiconductor technology. Novel synthetic and polymeric nonlinear materials for opticalstorage are under development in an integrated memory architecture. SBIR programs enable creative contributions from smaller companies, both product oriented and technology oriented, and support advances that might not otherwise be developed.
