Estimation of thermal coefficients of magneto-optical media.

Previously we described a method for estimating the thermal conductivity of magneto-optic recording media. The method relies on identifying the laser power that brings the maximum temperature of the TbFeCo layer to as high as the Curie temperature. We extensively use a similar method to estimate the heat capacity of a dielectric layer, a TbFeCo layer, and an aluminum alloy layer of magneto-optic recording media. Measurements are conducted on static disks with a beam of light focused on a TbFeCo layer. The method has the advantage of thermal diffusion depending on a multilayer structure and irradiation time.

Partial-response signaling for phase-change optical data storage without electronic equalization.

We describe the application of partial-response (PR) signaling in rewritable phase-change optical data storage. No electronic filter is necessary to shape the readout signal to a certain PR target. A PR-like waveform at the output of the read channel is directly achieved by optical recording. A genetic algorithm is used to optimize the parameters for writing and therefore to minimize the difference between the actual readout signal and the ideal PR waveform. With a laser wavelength of 0.66 microm and an objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.6, four linear densities were examined: 0.4, 0.3, 0.25, and 0.2 microm/bit (without modulation). Results showed that the linear density of 0.25 microm/bit can be realized on a rewritable digital-versatile disk.

Measurement of the thermal coefficients of rewritable phase-change optical recording media.

We describe a method to estimate the heat capacity of the substrate, the dielectric layer, and the phase-change layer of phase-change optical recording media as well as the thermal conductivity of the phase-change layer in its crystalline state. Measurements were carried out on spinning disks with the beam of light focused and locked onto the groove track. The method relies on the identification of the solid-to-liquid phase transition that occurs in the phase-change layer and takes advantage of the dependence of thermal diffusion on track velocity and irradiation time.

Optical characterization of multilayer stacks used as phase-change media of optical disk data storage.

We report results of measurements of the optical constants of the dielectric layer (ZnS-SiO2), reflecting layer (aluminum-chromium alloy), and phase-change layer (GeSbTe, AgInSbTe) used as the media of phase-change optical recording. The refractive index n and the absorption coefficient k of these materials vary to some extent with the film thickness and with the film deposition environment. We report the observed variations of optical constants among samples of differing structure and among samples fabricated in different laboratories.

Polarization dependence of thermal behavior in rewritable phase-change optical recording media.

Thermal behavior in land-groove phase-change optical recording has been examined for different polarizations of the incident beam. Three-dimensional temperature distribution in the grooved medium is evaluated by the numerical solution of Maxwell's equations and the heat transfer equation with the finite-difference method. Both experiments and calculations have shown that the thermal behavior in the medium is dependent on the state of polarization and the nature of the track. The calculated mark shapes in a quadrilayer stack are in good agreement with experimental observations.
