Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for rapidly and accurately adjusting CRT image geometry for the purpose of removing defects in an image reproduced by a CRT. The method and apparatus include a conventional pattern generator for producing a grid-like test pattern, in the form of two mutually perpendicular sets of closely spaced parallel lines, on the viewing screen of the CRT whose geometry or image-forming apparatus is to be adjusted. A reference pattern image formed on a transparent base material suitable for viewing by transmitted light and having the same general characteristics as the CRT formed image is supported in superposed relationship with respect to the CRT formed, pattern generator produced test pattern image. Moire pattern bands or fringes indicative of defects in the displayed test pattern and therefore in the CRT geometry viewable by an equipment operator when viewing the displayed test pattern through the transparent reference pattern in such a superposed relationship may be readily removed by adjusting various component parts of the image-forming electron beam deflection system until the moire fringes resulting from image-defect generated misalignment between the CRT formed test pattern image and the transparent material formed reference pattern image are nulled or are no longer visible to an equipment operator.

Abstract: An optical proximity imaging method and apparatus in which the proximity of glass surface to another surface is determined by frustration of total internal reflection of light energy from the glass surface to develop a light area pattern, calibrating gray scale densities of the pattern so that levels of density correspond to increments of surface proximity, and displaying a facsimile of the gray scale image to indicate variations in surface proximity. The pattern of frustrated totally reflected light energy is preferably magnified and the magnified image recorded by a television camera, the output of which is fed, in a preferred embodiment, to an oscilloscope capable of displaying a three axis image in which one of the three axes is determined by variation in gray scale density. In another embodiment, the output of the television camera is fed through a colorizer to assign different colors to different gray scale densities and a colored facsimile of the pattern image presented on a CRT screen.

Abstract: Storage density in an optical data storage media and system is increased many times the resolution limit by fully utilizing the much smaller detection limit by differentiating and isolating the active data sites in the media optically. The tracks are preordained and predisposed to a specific optical property and value that is different from that of its "n" nearest neighbors but is identical to its nth neighbor and to the optical properties of the reading and writing optical system.

Abstract: A medium suitable for the optical storage and retrieval of information comprising a substrate, an active layer for retention of the data, and an overlying optical layer, or layers for double-sided. The optical layer serves to produce an evanescent field in or adjacent to the active layer in response to an incident beam of radiation. The evanescent field is frustrated or attenuated by the data in the active layer and produces a signal.

Abstract: A dark-field imaging system and method is disclosed that employs photon tunneling to measure the height of read/write heads at full-field and in substantially real-time as the head flies over a disk-shaped recording medium. The system comprises: an analog recording disk mounted for rotation about a central axis, an illumination section for providing an evanescent field at a surface of the disk where the evanescent field is selectively scattered in correlation to the proximity of the read/write head to the disk surface, and a collection section for transmitting the scattered evanescent field to an imaging section, which may be a vidicon, digital camera, or other photo detector device. Various embodiments are disclosed including the use of a bulk optic prismatic element, the forward aplantic element of a compound microscope objective, diffracting gratings, and optical waveguides. In each embodiment the collection section and illumination section may be completely optically, and thus physically, uncoupled.

Abstract: A flexible transducer for use in a photon tunneling microscope apparatus, the transducer comprising an optically transmissive body having a totally internally reflecting (TIR) surface therein and a second surface plano-parallel to the TIR surface when the TIR surface and the second surface are in an unstressed state, the second surface comprising a combination light energy entrance surface and light energy exit surface, the TIR surface being oriented such that light energy introduced at the second surface within the critical angle normally is reflected totally from the interior of the TIR surface to the second surface. A light pattern of variable intensity emerges from the second surface as a result of frustration of total internal reflection at the TIR surface occuring as the TIR surface is brought sufficiently proximate a sample surface. The flexible transducer and the TIR surface thereof are arranged and adapted to be brought into optical contact with, and to conform to, varied macrophotography configurations of the sample surface. The disclosure further relates to methods for making and using the flexible transducer.

Abstract: Titania is a semiconductor and photocatalyst that is also chemically inert. With its bandgap of 3.0, to activate the photocatalytic property of titania requires light of about 390 nm wavelength, which is in the ultra-violet, where sunlight is very low in intensity. A method and devices are disclosed wherein stress is induced and managed in a thin film of titania in order to shift and lower the bandgap energy into the longer wavelengths that are more abundant in sunlight. Applications of this stress-induced bandgap-shifted titania photocatalytic surface include photoelectrolysis for production of hydrogen gas from water, photovoltaics for production of electricity, and photocatalysis for detoxification and disinfection.
