Abstract: A data storage master disk and method of making a data storage master disk. The data storage disk master is for use in a data storage disk replication process. The data storage disk molding processes produces replica disks having a surface relief pattern with replica lands and replica grooves. The method includes providing a master substrate. The master substrate is at least partially covered with a layer of photosensitive material. A surface relief pattern having master lands and master grooves is recorded in the data storage disk master, including the steps of exposing and developing the photosensitive material. The exposing and developing of a specified thickness of photosensitive material is controlled to form master grooves extending down to a substrate interface between the master substrate and the layer of photosensitive material, such that the width of the master grooves at the substrate interface corresponds to a desired width of the replica lands.

Abstract: The diffraction-based monitoring techniques described herein can be used, for example, as quality assurance measure in manufacture of magnetic recording media with servo tracking. In one embodiment, the invention presents a system comprising a light source such as a laser that directs light upon a surface of a magnetic recording medium. The magnetic recording medium has two or more physical marks, and the light striking the magnetic recording medium produces a diffraction pattern. A light detector such as a photodiode detects some or all of the diffraction pattern. The physical marks may be servo tracks on the magnetic recording medium, and the detected diffraction pattern is a function of the characteristics of the servo tracks.

Abstract: In one embodiment, holographic data storage medium includes a first thermoplastic substrate portion having a thickness less than approximately 2 millimeters and a second thermoplastic substrate portion having a thickness less than approximately 2 millimeters. A holographic recording material may be sandwiched between the first and second thermoplastic substrate portions. By making thermoplastic substrate portions sufficiently thin, edge wedge problems can be avoided.

Abstract: The invention presents the concept of self-referenced holographic data recording. In exemplary embodiments, the invention comprises methods of recording holograms on holographic data storage media; media produced by such methods; and self-referencing holographic data storage systems. A method of recording data in a holographic recording medium may comprise illuminating a medium with a data encoded first optical beam, optically directing a zero frequency Fourier component of the first optical beam to create a second optical beam, and illuminating the medium with the second optical. In some embodiments, for example, a self-referencing holographic data storage system has a single optical path directed towards a medium.

Abstract: The invention is directed to data cartridges including a plurality of data storage disks. The invention applies the multi-disk data cartridges to a “jukebox” system in which one of the data cartridges is inserted into a computing device that de-cartridges and positions the data storage disks on one or more disk drives for reading or recording. A multi-disk data cartridge may comprise a cartridge housing with dimensions that conform to a magnetic tape cartridge housing standard form factor. The data cartridges may include blue disk media, such as Blu-Ray and HD-DVD. In order to integrate blue disk media into the data cartridge described herein, the blue disk media may comprise dimensions that conform to a non-standard blue disk form factor. In other cases, a cartridge housing may conform to a non-standard form factor based on dimensions of a standard form factor blue disk.

Abstract: The invention provides for modifications to conventional optical data storage media to reduce the amount of raw material necessary in the media construction. More particularly, a portion of a thermoplastic substrate is modified to create one or more substantial void areas compared to a conventional substrate that defines flat parallel surfaces without void areas. The configuration, number, and size of the voids may be modified in order to substantially reduce inherent raw material cost while maintaining the specified physical thickness, clamping area, and mechanical stability of the medium.

Abstract: The invention is directed to self-referenced holographic recording techniques that make use of an element of a holographic medium to create a reference beam from a zero frequency Fourier component of a data encoded object beam. In other words, the self-referencing element may be formed on the holographic medium, rather then being a separate element of the holographic recording system. The element may comprise a diffusive element on the medium, designed to create a reference beam having controlled angles, phase and/or amplitude.
