The readout characteristics of a magnetooptic transfer (MOT) head were compared with those of a magnetic head. Magnetic recording/readout was done on a CrO2 flexible disk by using a head with a track width of 5 μm. A Bi-substituted garnet film with a domain width of 1.2 μm and an He-Ne laser spot focused down to 3 μm were used as the MOT head. Readout waveforms from both heads were surprisingly similar. The maximum carrier-to-noise ratio obtained was 50 dB (bandwidth: 30 kHz) for both heads. Experimental data for off-track and crosstalk characteristics demonstrated that the MOT head was suitable for use as a high-track-density readout head. The potential advantages of multitrack readout using MOT heads are described 相似文献

Earlier work on the local heating of stationary multilayer structures by focused laser light has been extended to deal with nonstationary situations. The numerical procedures described here are therefore applicable to many important technologies including optical recording, thermal marking, and laser annealing. We demonstrate this in two examples, namely, the effects of readout intensity on the readout signal from a quadrilayer magnetooptic disk and the writing threshold for ablative materials in single-layer and three-layer structures. 相似文献

Simulations have been performed to evaluate the effect of a thermal-induced mask on the performance of an optical disk. For simplicity and also so as not to lose generality, we first assume that the thermal-induced mask can be represented by an ellipse with variable shape and a relative position with respect to the center of the readout laser spot. Simulation results reveal that the optical disk exhibits a maximum response when almost half the laser spot is covered by the mask. With a conventional single-beam readout technique, however, this can hardly be achieved. The possibility of achieving this by use of an assistant beam with a modified beam profile is discussed. We show that this method allows us to obtain a maximum response in the track direction without any degradation in the radial direction. 相似文献

The driving mechanism of a scanning mirror can cause significant impairment of expanded beam properties, which we investigated for several scanning waveforms. Engineering on the scanning waveform is then carried out by a scanned CO2 laser beam technique to enlarge the uniform heating region for stretching and sintering of silica fibers. Details of the derivation are given. A simple thermal model is presented to account for the relationship between the scanning beam profile and the taper shape. Fusion profiles are also compared for various scanning waveforms. The corresponding scanned beam power distributions are determined experimentally, which enables us to determine precise power density conditions for CO2 laser fusion. 相似文献

Amorphous rare-earth-transition-metal alloys are considered as materials for magnetooptic information storage. They can be prepared by evaporation or sputtering on glass or polymer substrates. The alloys are ferrimagnets and exhibit a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic and magnetooptic properties can be well tailored by the composition as well as the deposition conditions. The information is stored by memory magnetic domains which can be written by a thermomagnetic switching process. The reading process utilizes the magnetooptic Kerr effect. In both cases the temperature profile of the saturation magnetization, the uniaxial anisotropy, and in particular the coercivity are of primary importance. At present, the most prominent candidates for device applications are GdTb-FeCo and Tb-FeCo alloys. Carrier-to-noise values up to 61 dB (30 kHz) have been achieved using magnetooptic disks 相似文献

Techniques for imaging microscopic dynamic magnetic phenomena in magnetic recording heads are reviewed. Two experimental apparatus which utilize the Kerr magnetooptic effect are described. A scanning magnetooptic photometer uses the principles of confocal optical microscopy in which a focused laser spot serves as a high-resolution (~0.3 μm) probe of magnetic activity to very high frequencies (250 MHz). Magnetooptic flash photography uses the technique of stroboscopic imaging with digital image processing to provide instantaneous (10 ns exposure time) images of magnetic phenomena on a microscopic scale by utilizing a pulse laser for illumination. Results from various studies of ferrite, metal-in-gap, and thin-film magnetic recording heads using these apparatus are reviewed along with their methods 相似文献

A model for thermomagnetic writing in Gd-Co sputtered films at its compensation temperature is described. In the vicinity of the compensation temperature, the films have rectangular hysteresis loops with large values of coercive force. Spots are thermomagnetically written and erased by using a He-Ne laser in conjunction with an external magnetic field, and a diameter approximately of1.5 sim 2 mu m is achieved. Photographs of spots written thermomagnetically are shown. The written domains are circular and clear in shape, and are stable. Temperature dependences of coercive force in Gd-Co sputtered films, and characters of spot diameter as a function of applied magnetic field and writing laser power are reported. 相似文献

We describe modeling and simulation results for the Thirty Meter Telescope on the degradation of sodium laser guide star Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor measurement accuracy that will occur due to the spatial structure and temporal variations of the mesospheric sodium layer. By using a contiguous set of lidar measurements of the sodium profile, the performance of a standard centroid and of a more refined noise-optimal matched filter spot position estimation algorithm is analyzed and compared for a nominal mean signal level equal to 1000 photodetected electrons per subaperture per integration time, as a function of subaperture to laser launch telescope distance and CCD pixel readout noise. Both algorithms are compared in terms of their rms spot position estimation error due to noise, their associated wavefront error when implemented on the Thirty Meter Telescope facility adaptive optics system, their linear dynamic range, and their bias when detuned from the current sodium profile. 相似文献

Abstract A nearest Gaussian approximation (NGA) is proposed to approximate any shape for a single mode laser beam by a Gaussian shape. The application considered is a determination of the system efficiency in heterodyne coherent laser radar (HCLR). For an actual beam its NGA is defined by three parameters: the waist spot size and location, and an amplitude coefficient. These parameters are computed by a maximization of the norm of the scalar product written for the actual and Gaussian beams. In the case of the truncated Gaussian beam, particularly relevant to HCLR, the waist location can be analytically calculated, and only two parameters remain unknown: the waist spot size and amplitude coefficient. Using numerical applications, it is shown the NGA is in good agreement with Fresnel integral solution. The NGA combines a good accuracy and capability of analytical solutions. It can treat a variation in system efficiency owing to a misalignment angle between the transmitter and local oscillator. 相似文献

A new magnetooptic (MO) detection method utilizing changes in the optical path through a transparent MO thin film has been developed and studied for evaluation of surface deformation created by subsurface or internal defects in materials. Investigation of defects cannot be performed on nonconducting and nonmagnetic materials using conventional electromagnetic techniques such as eddy-current or magnetic flux leakage. The new method utilizes the controlled periodic displacement of a domain wall in the MO thin film and can be used to measure remotely mechanical deformation of a surface of any type of material by measuring the changes of width of the shoulder in the intensity versus time waveform. 相似文献

The field of magnetooptics is reviewed and the application of a magnetic memory system as a readout technique is discussed. A review and comparison of the fundamental magneto-optic effects and their utility in a system is presented. It is shown for a longitudinal Kerr readout system that laser and shot noise limit wide-band (1 MHz) signal-to-noise ratios to about 40 dB. Media noise problems are reviewed. The limitations to packing density are discussed, and it is concluded that packing densities greater than 107bit/in2(including suitable guardbands) are practical. The various techniques for optico-thermal recording are surveyed. A discussion of related hardware components (such as optical modulators and lasers) is presented. It is concluded that a viable magnetooptic detection-laser beam memory system is practical. No suitable nonmechanical scanning system has yet been developed. 相似文献

Subwavelength-resolvable focused non-gaussian beam shaped with a binary diffractive optical element.
The diffraction-limited spot size limits the optical disk storage capacity and microscopic resolution. We describe a technique to shape a focused Gaussian beam into a superresolving beam by using a diffractive optical element fabricated by laser-assisted chemical etching. The focused shaped beam has a smaller width and a longer depth of focus than a similarly focused Gaussian beam. Using the diffraction-limited shaped beam along with threshold writing, we achieved a written pit size of less than 0.33 mum at a 695-nm laser wavelength, compared with a 0.7-mum focused Gaussian spot size (full width at e(-2) of the peak) with the same focusing lens. The energy conversion efficiency for the beam shaping was ~81%. 相似文献

According to thermoviscoelastic theory, the relations of laser-generated Rayleigh waves in viscoelastic plates with thermophysical and viscoelastic properties are investigated quantitatively. The displacement spectra are calculated in the frequency domain using the finite element method, and the temporal displacement waveforms are obtained by applying inverse fast Fourier transforms. And then, the effects of the laser parameters, including the laser spot radius, pulse rise time, and optical penetration depth, on the propagation of laser-generated Rayleigh waves are studied. In addition, the influence of the increase of each elastic modulus and viscous modulus of the viscoelastic plates on laser-generated Rayleigh waves is investigated in detail. 相似文献

The paper focuses on the influencing parameters to the plastically affected depth and maximum residual stress of the metallic target after laser shock peening. Firstly, by using a new coupling analysis method, the shock pressure characteristics including peak pressure and pressure duration are given. Secondly, based on the deduced pressure profile, dimensional analysis method is employed to find the controlling parameters, and the relationships of plastically affected depth, maximum residual stress versus peak pressure, pressure duration and laser spot size are given. Thirdly, a two dimension axisymmetric finite element model based on LS-DYNA package is built, and the dynamic responses of metallic target subject to laser shock processing are computed with different input parameters. The result shows that the plastically affected depth is proportional to pressure duration, whereas the maximum residual stress is independent with it; the plastically affected depth and the maximum residual stress are not affected by laser spot size within a certain range, whereas have approximate linear relationships with peak pressure after reaching to a certain level; maximum residual stress and plastically affected depth increase significantly for a thin target configuration in laser shock peening system. 相似文献

A pump (cw Ho-YAG laser) and probe (He-Ne laser) system was used to study the dynamics of the optical behavior of ocular tissue during laser heating. The nonlinear optical behavior of porcine corneal and vitreous-humor tissue was characterized in vitro by means of measurements of the radial profile of a He-Ne laser beam transmitted through the tissue. Temperature gradients in the tissue created by the absorption of pump radiation caused the probe beam to diverge. For constant laser power, the rate of divergence was made dependent on the spot size of the pump beam. The profile of the transmitted probe beam returned to its original magnitude and shape after the tissue was permitted to cool. This reversible change in optical behavior was attributed to the formation of a negative lens owing to thermally induced local gradients in the refractive index of the tissue. 相似文献

A method is developed to calculate ultrasonic surface waveforms generated by an extended laser source, operating in the thermoelastic regime of laser-pulse energy density. This approach integrates over a suitably weighted distribution of point surface centers of expansion, for observation to within 1 mm of the edge of the source. Power spectra as well as both horizontal and vertical displacements are presented and discussed for ultrasonic waveforms on an aluminium surface, for incident laser pulses having Gaussian lateral profiles of various sizes. Far from the source, the waveform is dominated by a dipolar Rayleigh (R) wave, whose amplitude and spectral content depend on laser spot size. Weak, monopolar pulses also occur at the intersection of bulk pressure and shear wavefronts with the surface (denoted assP andsS, respectively). Close to the source, thesP wave amplitude approaches that for theR wave, and overlaps theR wave for large source sizes. The fall-off with distance for bothsP andR waves is given. Finally, the changes in pulse shape and amplitude are calculated when anR wave from an extended thermoelastic source is reflected or transmitted by a right-angled corner of an aluminium block. 相似文献

One of the primary causes of blur in a high-energy X-ray imaging system is the shape and extent of the radiation source, or ‘spot’. It is important to be able to quantify the size of the spot as it provides a lower bound on the recoverable resolution for a radiograph, and penumbral imaging methods – which involve the analysis of blur caused by a structured aperture – can be used to obtain the spot’s spatial profile. We present a Bayesian approach for estimating the spot shape that, unlike variational methods, is robust to the initial choice of parameters. The posterior is obtained from a normal likelihood, which was constructed from a weighted least squares approximation to a Poisson noise model, and prior assumptions that enforce both smoothness and non-negativity constraints. A Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is used to obtain samples from the target posterior, and the reconstruction and uncertainty estimates are the computed mean and variance of the samples, respectively. Synthetic data-sets are used to demonstrate accurate reconstruction, while real data taken with high-energy X-ray imaging systems are used to demonstrate applicability and feasibility. 相似文献

In laser material processing, a variety of parameters like pulse fluence, total dose, step size, and pulse-to-pulse overlap are used to define and compare laser processes. Of these parameters, the pulse-to-pulse overlap can be the hardest to access as it is not implemented directly but instead depends on the spot diameter, its shape, and the respective scanning path that is used to cover the surface. This article shows that existing calculation routes overestimate the actual overlap by up to 21%. A novel calculation route is developed that greatly facilitates the determination of the pulse overlap and thereby the average number of laser pulses that interact with a given point on the surface. This approach makes it possible to achieve more reliable and comparable laser processes, which in return leads to better control of the procedure as the effect of individual parameters on a given output can be determined with greater precision. 相似文献

A new scalar diffraction modeling method for simulating the readout signal of optical disks is described. The information layer is discretized into pixels that are grouped in specific ways to form written and unwritten areas. A set of 2D wave functions resulting from these pixels at the detection aperture is established. A readout signal is obtained via the assembly of wave functions from this set according to the content under the scanning spot. The method allows efficient simulation of jitter noise due to edge deformation of recorded marks, which is important at high densities. It is also capable of simulating a physically irregular mark, thereby helping to understand and optimize the recording process. 相似文献
