摘要:
An optical information record medium (1) has at least one information layer (100) comprising a transparent substrate wherein nano-elements (101), for example nanotubes, having a symmetry axis are embedded. Information can be recorded by orienting the axes of the nano-elements within selected regions (110,120) in the same direction. Information can be read from the medium by means of a radiation beam having a polarization direction (p1, p2) corresponding to the said direction of the nano-elements, thereby creating absorptive information areas (110,120). In this way high information density can be achieved.

This apparatus having an optical head (15—FIG. 1)) for reading data stored in an optical carrier (1) comprises: a light source constituted by a first laser (50) or master laser for illuminating said carrier, an optical mounting (58) for directing the reflected light from said carrier to a detection branch (65) in which a non-linear optical element (80) is placed. This non-linear optical element (80) improves the signal to noise ratio by its non-linear characteristic before detection by the usual detector (75). The invention can be used for DVD players and/or recorders.

An optical diffraction element (1) comprises a diffraction layer (4) which is divided into diffraction strips (6) alternating with intermediate strips (8). The diffraction strips comprise nano-elements (10) which are aligned in one direction and absorb radiation (b) which is linearly polarized in this direction. The diffraction element may be a linear or two-dimensional grating (1) or a Fresnel lens (160). The polarization-sensitive grating can be used in optical systems in which only radiation with a specific polarization direction should be diffracted, or in an optical record carrier to allow reading of an information structure with high spatial frequencies.

An electroluminescent device (200) for use, e.g., in a colour matrix display unit is presented. Picture elements comprise a plurality of electroluminescent sub-pixels (201, 202, 203) capable of emitting light when subject to electric current.

摘要:
An optical scanning device for scanning an optical record carrier comprising an information layer. Crosstalk cancellation is provided using a phase modulating element (40, 140) for generating a phase profile providing an annular spot shape for a subsidiary beam which is coaxial with the main beam. The phase profile varies with an azimuthal angle measured about the optical axis of the beam portion. Further, a grating element (6, 106) is provided to generate two side beams. Each of the side beams and the subsidiary beam are focused to respective spots on the information layer along with the main beam spot. A radiation detector arrangement (25, 125) is provided for detecting information signals in each of the main beam, the two side beams and the subsidiary beam, and a signal processing arrangement (41, 42,43, 44,46,47,49) conducts crosstalk cancellation between the respective information signals to generate an output information signal. The invention provides a four-channel crosstalk cancellation arrangement which is capable of providing significantly improved crosstalk canceling performance.

The device also includes a scanning spot power switch (20) for switching the size of the cross-section of the beam between a first size at the writing mode and a second, larger size at the reading mode so as to switch the rim intensity of the beam between a first intensity level (Irim,writing) at the writing mode and a second, higher intensity level (Irim,reading) at the reading mode, thereby switching the light power of the scanning spot between a first power level (Pwriting) at the writing mode and a second, lower power level (Preading) at the reading mode.

摘要:
A switchable diaphragm (9) and a device for beam deflection (10) are placed in the servo branch of an optical drive, in a path of light beams of different diffraction orders. This permits redirection of light beam orders towards a detection means (8) on an individual basis and selection of light orders at a detection means (8) depending on requirements. The number of detectors in the device detection means (8) can thus be reduced, thereby also reducing additional components associated with those detectors and saving on cost and complexity. With such device functionality, new methods for measuring beam landing and spherical aberration are developed.
