 | Thin silver oxide films used as mask layers in super-Resolution Nearfield Structure (super-RENS) disks for high density optical data storage were reactively sputter-deposited and their composition was determined by spectroscopic means. We found that the stoichiometry of the films changed with the oxygen content in the sputtering gas atmosphere. With a stepwise increase in the percentage of O2 from 0 - 100%, the corresponding layers consist of Ag, mixtures of ... |

| Magnetic Amplifying Magneto-Optical System (MAMMOS) shows human brain like memory behavior. Magnetic field and laser power have threshold to recover the stored memory like the human response of remembering. MAMMOS also has a feature to amplify very small recorded signals like our recovery of memory, e.g., fifty years ago episode. By adding the meaningful information on the magnetic field pattern, we can get some correlation between our memory and external ... |

|
| Several kinds of disks, such as DVD, MO and/or CD-R, for the next generation require high quality of plastic surface. Especially their flatness is very important. Here a disk inspection system is proposed using two dimensional birefringence distribution measurement. Small birefringence is a serious problem that is caused by internal strain, and/or residual stress. Moreover it is possible to observe its molecular orientation. The birefringence measurement is necessary to determine ... |

| For polarization-sensitive applications such as magneto-optic disks and coherent detection systems, the polarization state of surface emitting (SE) lasers must be well defined. From the measured polarization characteristics, it was found that the output of mesa-structure SE lasers were linearly polarized and homogeneous lasers were unstable in terms of polarization state. Several polarization control methods were also suggested. However, the stress would affect the polarization state of SE lasers and ... |
