摘要:
A light receiving element is comprised of a light sensitive surface on a semiconductor substrate and a positive electrode (anode), a negative electrode (cathode), a mounting precision test mask, a conductive electrode wire, and solder resist on the same substrate surface. A metal thin film, a mounting alignment mark, and a mounting precision mark window are provided on the back side of the substrate. Two or more electrode surfaces having either the anode or the cathode used as the common electrode are provided. The light sensitive surface is positioned approximately in the center between these two electrode surfaces. A highly precise mounting can therefore be achieved with the solder bump, even when mounting single light receiving elements. High precision mounting is also obtained when mounting light receiving element arrays. This type of light receiving element can be precisely positioned and bonded by solder bumps to a substrate having an optical fiber fitted in the V groove.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a disk drive that ensures quieter rotational acceleration of a recording disk. Certain embodiments relate to a hard disk drive that detects the vibration of an enclosure by monitoring, via a driver, a counter electromotive voltage generated in a voice coil motor. If the hard disk drive detects a predetermined level of vibration or higher in the enclosure, it switches the status of a drive signal applied to a spindle motor so as to reduce the current level or smooth the waveform. This ensures reduced vibration of the enclosure.

Embodiments of the invention reduce the noise occurring when the lubricating layer on the magnetic disk is smoothed. In one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive has a read/write mode parameter table for generating an electric current to be supplied to a voice coil motor when the magnetic head performs data read/write operations on the magnetic disk. The magnetic disk drive also has a smoothing mode parameter table for generating another electric current to be supplied to the voice coil motor when neither a data read nor a write operation is performed on the magnetic disk. The CPU refers to either the read/write mode parameter table or the smoothing mode parameter table and controls the electric current to be supplied to the voice coil motor. When a lubricating-layer smoothing event occurs, the CPU refers to the smoothing mode parameter table and after generating the associated electric current to be supplied to the voice coil motor, moves the magnetic head to seek between the outermost and innermost tracks on the surface of the magnetic disk to perform a smoothing process for the lubricating layer.

Methods and systems for detecting and correcting for undesirable vibrations impacting the servo systems in data storage devices. A detection technique is provided wherein a detection filter is configured to scan a position signal of the servo system across a range of frequencies, and, at each respective scanned frequency, record an amplitude associated therewith. The recorded amplitudes are examined to determine whether any exceed a threshold, thereby locating a peak frequency of the vibration. Using the detected peak frequency of the vibration, a corrective filter is configured to operate about the peak frequency of vibration, thereby reducing its impact on the position signal in the servo system. Optimum detection and correction filter structures are disclosed, as are techniques for addressing filter state vectors as initial conditions as the corrective filters are repeatedly engaged during successive settle-out and track follow cycles (between seeks), as are continuous adaptation techniques for changing vibration environments.

A method and system for reducing positioning noise in a data storage system are provided. An access device is positioned over a data storage medium using a stream of bursts stored on the medium. The bursts are sensed at a frequency determined by the rate at which the medium is moved relative to a sensing device. Output positioning values are provided to position the access device at a frequency higher than the frequency at which the positioning bursts are sensed, and/or at random times. The random times may be calculated as random advances or delays from time points occurring at a fixed frequency.

It is an object of the invention to effectively use semiconductor laser elements by suppressing difficulties caused by heat generated at the times of mounting and light emission in the semiconductor laser elements. A semiconductor laser module comprises a light source-mounting section, on which plural semiconductor laser elements are mounted and optical fiber-fixing section, which upports plural optical fibers at a predetermined lateral pitch. A pitch-converting section is provided between the light source-mounting section and the optical fiber-fixing section in order to respectively guide lights semitted from the semiconductor laser elements to the corresponding optical fibers. The light source-mounting section, the pitch-converting section and the optical fiber fixing section are formed on the same substrate.
摘要:
The optical fibers are arranged in a V groove formed at the surface of a silicon substrate and a cover is provided thereon. An electrode for solder bump is respectively formed at the position opposed with each other to the substrate and cover. These substrate and cover are deposited with solder in order to fix the optical fibers. The substrate or cover is previously provided, at the end point part of the optical fibers, with the mark for the positioning in the longitudinal direction of the optical fibers. The optical fibers are positioned with this mark. Here, the side surface of the optical fibers is provided with the metallized area at the position located in the predetermined distance from the end point thereof. Before fixing with the cover, the optical fibers can be deposited automatically to the predetermined position without alignment due to the self-alignment effect between the mark and metallized area. Meanwhile, the optical element can be deposited with the solder bump without adjustment to the area near the end point of the optical fiber by utilizing the self-alignment. Here, it is also possible to form the mark to the substrate for measuring the mounting position of the optical element after deposition thereof.
