摘要:
An optical data storage medium comprises a super-resolution (SR) layer consisting of thermoelectric material, said SR layer having light absorption, transmittance and reflectance at the wavelength of an incident light and maintaining a crystalline single phase without a structural or chemical change below the melting temperature of the material. SR readout of data from and/or SR writing of data onto the medium is carried out by way of thermoelectrically induced optical changes within a local area of the SR layer under laser irradiation.

Disclosed is a waveguide type optical device utilizing a nonlinear refractive index change according to a large 3rd order nonlinear optical phenomenon. The waveguide type optical device includes a signal beam waveguide through which a signal beam propagates; and a pump beam waveguide through which a pump beam propagates, wherein the pump beam waveguide is disposed adjacent to the signal beam waveguide so that the pump beam can be coupled to the signal beam waveguide, the signal beam waveguide is made of nonlinear optical materials with large 3rd order nonlinear optical property and the pump beam waveguide is made of linear optical materials, and the wavelength range of the signal beam is different from that of the pump beam. By such a structure, the pump beam is coupled to one arm of the signal beam waveguide, thereby generating a 3rd nonlinear phenomenon on one arm of the waveguide through which the signal beam passes. Therefore, the waveguide optical device which implements an all-optical communication device operating as an optical device and can be integrated is provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides an optical recording medium in which the spot size of incident laser beam, focused on the medium by a far-field optic system characterized by λ and NA, is further reduced and maintained below the diffraction-limited size by means of material characteristics of the medium while reproducing from and recording on the information layer of the recording medium, thus making it possible to record and reproduce a high density of information exceeding the resolution limit of the optic system.A high density optical recording medium according to the present invention adopts a combination of two different super-resolution layers of mutually complementary optical characteristics with increasing light power.The combination of two super-resolution layers is made in either of two different types: for one type, each of the two super-resolution layers, having a respective threshold light intensity (or temperature) for the onset of change in optical transmittance, produces an increasing spot size of the transmitted beam with increasing light power once a respective threshold light intensity (or temperature) is exceeded, and for the other type, one layer produces an increasing spot size of the transmitted beam with increasing light power whereas the other layer exhibits a reverse trend.
