    Abstract: An optical encoder is provided. The encoder includes an optical disc mounted on a shaft, the optical disc containing pit and land markings; an optical pickup unit for an optical disc that receives light from the optical disc and supplies as an output an electrical signal representative of the received light, comprising: a reading head objective lens, and dynamic steering actuators that control the focus and tracking of the reading head objective lens; a processor that receives as an input the electrical signal from the optical pickup unit and reports motion of the substrate based on the received at least one electrical signal.

    Abstract: An optical unit includes: a first optical device holding body that is sleeve-shaped and includes a first holding portion configured to hold therein at least one first optical device, and a first fitting portion extending from the first holding portion; a second optical device holding body that is sleeve-shaped and includes a second holding portion configured to hold therein at least one second optical device, and a second fitting portion extending from the second holding portion; and a welded portion that is melted and solidified over the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion in an overlapping portion between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. A first welding width at a center of the first fitting portion and a second welding width at a center of the second fitting portion are substantially identical in the optical axis direction of the optical unit.

    Abstract: A method for reading and writing with holographic system includes the following operations: (a) providing a reference light and a signal light; (b) transferring the reference light and the signal light to an optical recording medium, for recording an interference grating; (c) changing the reference light and the signal light and repeating the operations (a) to (b) until M interference gratings are recorded on the optical recording medium; (d) providing a reading light to the optical recording medium, for reading the M interference gratings at the same time to generate an interference result, wherein the interference result is a result that diffraction signals of the M interference gratings interfere to each other; and (e) changing the reading light and repeating the operation (d), for obtaining N interference results. A holographic storage system is also disclosed herein.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a holographic data storage device with a single-arm structure, and belongs to the technical field of optical holographic storage. According to the device disclosed in the present invention, a part of a reference arm and a part of a signal arm are integrated together to form a single-arm structure, which can not only reduce the number of optical and mechanical elements, but also reduce the system volume and cost without degrading performance. In addition, a signal beam and a reference beam share the same relay lens, so that the impact of environmental interference on the two beams is equal, and the stability of the entire system is improved.

    Abstract: An improved optical encoder uses an optical pick-up unit that provides for degrees of freedom in the tracking and focus axes that are unavailable in conventional optical encoders thereby improving the encoders' performance. In an embodiment the encoder employs an optical disc marked with pits and lands which may be arranged in a spiral pattern. The optical disc is mounted on the shaft whose motion is to be monitored by the optical encoder. The encoder may be arranged to read the markings on the optical disc using the three-beam pickup method.
