摘要:
Information storage system, device and record carriers for improved erasing of information written on a record carrier. A radiation beam is focused on a recording layer of a record carrier containing phase-change material. Crystalline information areas are written on initially amorphous portions of the recording layer by means of the radiation beam having its intensity modulated in accordance with write pulses. The information areas are erased (and changed back into amorphous portions) by means of the radiation beam having its intensity modulated in accordance with erase pulses. The time duration of each of the erase pulses (and, therefore, the intensity of the radiation beam being modulated in accordance therewith to heat the recording layer) and the cooling time of the recording layer thereafter is short enough that areas of the recording layer which are heated during erasing to a temperature above the crystallization temperature of the recording layer but lower than the melting point of the recording layer remain above the crystallization temperature for a period of time which is shorter than the crystallization time for the recording layer. The recording layer may contain a track and have more crystallization nuclei proximate to a centerline of the track than away from the centerline. In addition, the record carrier may be such that its reflection is larger when the recording layer has an amorphous structure than when it has a crystalline structure.

摘要:
In DFB/DBR semiconductor diode lasers, competition may arise between the DFB (Distributed Feed-Back) mode corresponding to the period of the grid present and the FP (=Fabry-Perot) mode determined by the relative distance of the mirror surfaces, as a result of which the laser does not operate in one single mode. By providing an antireflex layer, this problem is suppressed, but other disadvantages are obtained, such as a large line width. However, by providing a phase layer on the antireflection coating, the operation of the laser in a single mode is combined with a comparatively narrow line width. Furthermore, a reflective coating can be applied to the phase layer. In this case, both the module and the phase of the effective reflection can be adjusted substantially independently of each other, as a result of which a narrow line width and SLM can be more readily combined.The antireflex coating, the phase layer and the reflective coating can be manufactured by means of not more than two materials having a suitable refractive index. Two particularly suitable materials are hafnium oxide and silicon dioxide, which can be applied to the mirror surfaces by means of the comparatively simple and attractive vapor deposition technique.
