A lighting module for illuminating cultivated crops in indoor farming comprises at least one monolithic efficiency enhancing optical element (EEOE) further comprising: (a) a front portion comprising a spectrum conversion layer; (b) an optically transparent middle body portion having at least one light source embedded there within and configured to emit spectrally controllable radiation; and (c) a back portion configured to reflect the radiation emitted by the spectrum conversion layer to the cultivated crops. The back portion has a central area being adjacent to the optically transparent middle body portion configured for reflecting radiation propagating within the optically transparent middle body portion and a peripheral area configured for reflecting radiation emerged from the optically transparent middle body portion via the side surface.

The present invention provides an optical system having a read mode, during which multiple tracks of an optical disk are simultaneously read, and a write mode, during which data is written to at least one track of the optical disk. The multiple light beams employed during read mode may be generated by a single laser diode operated at low power used in combination with a diffractive element, multiple laser diodes, or combinations thereof.

There is disclosed a diffractive optical element and a method to produce same wherein the element comprises a base and at least one phase zone comprising an arbitrary multiplicity M of steps of generally identical step height, wherein M is not a power of 2. The method includes the steps of defining a basic depth unit equivalent to a zone height divided by M, defining a depth sequence of N depths wherein N is the smallest integer greater than log.sub.2 M such that each of the M steps can be produced by at least one linear combination of the N depths, defining N masks herein each mask enables the optical element to be processed to one of the N depths and wherein for each mask, the steps to be processed are those which have the one of the N depths in its linear combination and serially utilizing each of the N masks for processing of the optical element.

Methods and apparatus are provided for reducing cross-talk and jitter caused by track offsets in multi-beam optical disks. The method and apparatus involve using split detectors and cross-talk cancellation algorithms in the multi-element photodetector of the multi-beam optical disks. The cross-talk cancellation algorithms are applied according to the value of the track offset as a function of the track pitch.
