摘要:
The present invention relates to data-carrier intended for the high-density recording of information by the use of an etching radiation beam. The data-carrier comprises a substrate upon which there are deposited a very thin film which is absorbent at the wavelength of the etching beam, and a film which is thermodegradable at a temperature lower than the degradation temperature of the absorbent film, the heat developed in the absorbent film being selectively diffused towards the adjacent thermodegradable film.

A device for detecting the error in focussing a read-out beam on the impression. Two photodetector cells located respectively in front of and behind the optical axis of the system, in relation to the direction of transfer, produce two electrical signals the difference between which is the read-out signal, a control signal being obtained by a comparison of the phases of the two signals, one of which is phase-shifted so that the optimum focussing point corresponds to zero phase-shift.

The present invention relates to the reading out of a track by means of a light spot which scans a track along which the information contained in a record is transcribed. The object of the invention is a read-out system which ensured focussing and tracking by the synchronous detection of positional errors with the help of a read-out beam one of the halves of which is intercepted by a half-wave plate; an oscillatory motion is imparted to the read-out spot in the plane containing the track.

A device for focussing a read-out light beam on a moving data carrier. It comprises an objective lens which causes said read-out beam to converge on the data carrier; a cylindrical lens arranged in the path of a light beam reflected by the data carrier; and photo-electric means for detecting the reflected beam and arranged in such a fashion that the light spot obtained there, normally substantially circular in shape, is distorted by elongation if focussing of the read-out beam on the data carrier is incorrect.

The present invention relates to the optical read-out of a diffractive track carried by a data carrier. The object of the invention is an optical read-out device in which concentrated illumination of the track is effected by at least two collateral read-out spots straddling same, in order to produce a track eccentricity signal by subtraction of the voltages furnished by two groups of photo-electric transducers sensitive to the spread in the beams which form said spots.

The invention relates to a method and a device for the optical reading of information recorded on a support along a track in the form of diffracting elements. A diffraction pattern comprising a luminous central spot centered on the section of the track to be read and alternately dark and bright adjacent fringes is projected onto the support, the dark fringes adjacent to the central spot coinciding with the track sections in the neighborhood of the track section to be read. To that effect a pupil limited by two edges which are parallel to the direction of travel of the track is utilized, this pupil being placed against the reading objective.
摘要:
The invention relates to an optical reading device, for the read out of data carried by a reflecting support, wherein the source is a non-polarized laser of which the exit surface is reflective; the optical noise due to the reflection of the incident wave at the support is partially suppressed by inserting between the last partially polarizing and/or birefractive element and the data carrier a quarter wavelength plate which optically decouples the incident wave and the return wave. The optical noise is thus limited to the beats between the incident wave and the return wave reflected a second time by the support.

The present invention relates to the protection of relief impressions formed in order to store information on a data carrier which can be optically read out by transmission. The invention relates to a data carrier the relief impression in which is protected by at least one layer transparent vis-a-vis the read-out radiation. The protective layer has an index of refraction that differs from that of the data carrier, per se. Thus, a refractive boundary at the relief impression is maintained and the information encoded in the diffractive relief pattern is preserved.

摘要:
An optical device for forming a stigmatic image of a laser source positioned at a predetermined point is intended to illuminate a reflecting surface while also providing a separation between the beam emerging from the source and the beam reflected from the surface. The device comprises a cube placed against a converging lens, the dimensions of the assembly thus formed being such that the cube face remote from the lens passes through a Weierstrass point of the spherical refracting surface formed by the lens. The laser source is positioned at the Weierstrass point. The cube is formed by two prisms cemented together, the interface being treated so as to have a polarization-separating effect.
