摘要:
A white cold-cathode fluorescent lamp, which is used as an illumination backlight for liquid crystal, is replaced by cold-cathode fluorescent lamps that emit red, green and blue lights, respectively. Since a liquid crystal picture is illuminated by the fluorescent lights in a time-sequential manner, a multi-color display can be provided without spatially dividing liquid crystal pixels using a color filter; and as it is not necessary for one pixel to be divided into three color cells, the size of a pixel can be reduced. Furthermore, in the liquid crystal display device, a phosphor having a short emission life is employed to coat the interior of the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp and enable the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp to be turned on and off rapidly, so that degradation of display colors due to slow fluorescence decay can be prevented and moving pictures can be displayed.

This invention provides a method and apparatus for accurately measuring the flying height of a magnetic head at high speed by using a white lamp and a color CCD camera. The invention entails substituting tentative refraction coefficients and extinction coefficients representative of colors in theoretical equations expressing the relationship between interference light intensity and flying height, thereby optimizing the parameters by non-linear regression. The flying height of a magnetic head is measured by using the coefficient thus determined. Also, this invention enables determination of flying height at very high speed through effecting the above optimization in consideration of constants associated with the shape of the head under consideration, and adapting the above theoretical equations.

An optical device utilizes a polariton substance and utilizes the absorption wavelength band of excitonic polaritons. Further, an external stimulus such as electric field, magnetic field, stress, current or electromagnetic wave (light) is continuously or intermittently given to the polariton substance, thereby to modulate light which enters the optical device. Thus, a modulating operation of ultra-high speed is possible.

摘要:
A high-sensitivity apparatus having simple constitution that measures the flying height of a magnetic head. Light emitted from a white light source 25 is directed to the gap between a disk 23 and a head 21, and subjected to multiple reflection between the disk 23 and the head 21. Reflected light from an opaque object, which may be either the disk 23 or the head 21, is divided into at least three components having respective wavelength regions which are directed to different photodetectors 35, 36, and 37 for the respective wavelength regions. An estimation device 38 estimates the flying height of the head according to the least-square method from the outputs of the photodetectors using functions prepared in advance for the respective wavelength regions, and correlates the disk-head gap and the reflected light intensities detected by the respective photodetectors. Real-time calculation according to the least-square method is performed by means of a table look-up technique or a tracking servo technique.
摘要:
A p-GaAlAs cladding layer is exposed to the air if a groove of the form of a stripe is formed by chemical etching in an n-GaAs layer that serves as a current confinement layer on the p-GaAlAs cladding layer, the groove being so formed as to reach the cladding layer. The GaAlAs is oxidized so easily that an unstable degradation layer is formed on the surface thereof. To solve this problem according to the prior art, an undoped GaAs layer that serves as a cover layer is formed on the p-GaAlAs cladding layer, the n-GaAs layer is formed, and the etching is effected so that the undoped GaAs layer is simply exposed. The undoped GaAs layer is then heated in the MBE apparatus while being irradiated with the As molecular beam and is thermally etched. Therefore, the cladding layer is exposed in vacuum and the p-GaAlAs layer is formed thereon. However, this method is not suited for mass-production since the thermal etching is unstable and it needs the MBE apparatus of a very high degree of vacuum. Quality of the crystal decreases, too, due to the heating. This invention therefore provides a fabrication process of semiconductor lasers in which the cover layer disappears due to interdiffusion of constituent elements that stem from the diffusion of impurities such as zinc ions in the undoped GaAs layer.
