In this paper, a computational and experimental analysis about the flow behavior of thin polymer film in the spin coating process for stable cover layer coating of a blu-ray disc is described. The blu-ray disc, a next-generation optical disc format over 25GB, consists of a 1.1mm thick substrate and a 0.1mm tick cover layer. Generally, cover layer on the blu-ray disc is made by the polymer spin coating process. However, it is hard to secure sufficient coating uniformity around the rim on the cover layer. In order to get the uniform thickness deviation and to minimize the bead around the rim, the edge of the disc substrate can be modified into various shapes around the rim on the disc and analyzed with various parameters, such as surface tension, viscosity, and rotation speed, etc. The optimal shape of the rim was tried to get by 3 dimensional computer simulation of the polymer expulsion process.

To improve the switching time of active optical bistable devices, we propose an active optical bistable device that consists of a diode laser, a transistor, and a photodetector. By implementing the proposed device we realize the optical bistable device with a 5 nanosecond switching time. This is the fastest switching time among the hybrid type optical bistable devices. It is also experimentally demonstrated that the proposed device may be used in an optical disc pick up.

This paper presents the modeling, theoretical formulation, and stability analysis for a combined system of a spinning disc and a head that contacts the disc. In the analytic model, head interference is considered by a rotating mass-spring-damper system together with a frictional follower force on the damped annular discs. The multiple scale method is utilized to perform the stability system that shows the existence of instability associated with parametric resonances. Using the formulated system , instability regions of optical recording disc are investigated with variation of mass, stiffness and friction force of a head, respectively. The simulation results show that the stiffness of a head is the most sensitive parameter on the instability of the disc.

The schematic design process is formulated to develop the vibroisolating rubber mount in optical disc drives. The dynamic model of vibration isolation system is established by using a rigid body with 6 degree of freedom and linear springs with damping property. Considering the practical vibration condition of DVDP(Digital Versatile Disk Player), the required properties of vibroisolating rubber mounts are investigated. Also finite element model of a vibroisolating rubber mount is used to obtain shape design concept and identify the characteristics of a rubber mount which satisfies the required properties from previous design stage. Finally the evaluation method of dynamic properties of vibroisolating rubber mounts is established by utilizing modal test method. Based on the developed process, vibroisolating rubber mounts with a good performance have been developed.

Recently, various recording technologies are studied for optical data storage. After standardization of BD (Blue-ray Disc) and HD-DVD (High-Definition Digital Versatile Disc), the industry is looking for a suitable technology for next generation optical data storage. Super-RENS (Super-resolution near field structure) technique, which is capable of compatibility with other systems, is one of next optical data storage. In this paper, we analyze the nonlinearity of Super-RENS read-out signal through the bicoherence test, which uses HOS (Higher-Order Statistics) and apply neural networks for nonlinear modeling. The model structure considered in this paper is the NARX (Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous) model. The experiment results indicate that the read-out signals have nonlinear characteristics. In addition, it verified the possibility that neural networks can be utilized for nonlinear modeling of Super-RENS systems.

광기록의 역사는 1980년대초 Sony와 Philips가 공동 개발한 CD (compact disc: 640MB)의 출현으로부터 시작하여 1996년의 DVD (digital versatile disc: 4.7GB)를 거쳐 최근의 BD (Blu-ray disc: >20GB)에까지 이르고 있다. Read-only memory, recordable, rewritable 등 다양한 저장 및 재생방식이 존재하는데, 이는 레이저 조사에 의한 기록매체의 특성변화의 가역성 (reversibility)에 의존하므로 저장 및 재생방식에 따라 저장매체 또한 다르게 된다. 기록용량의 증가는 레이저의 파장이 짧아지고 동시에 사용된 렌즈의 개구수 (NA: Numerical aperture)가 증가함에 따른 빔 spot size의 감소에 기인한다. 회절한계를 극복하여 빔의 spot size를 줄이고자 하는 연구는 현재도 전세계적으로 활발히 이루어지고 있고 이러한 노력의 일환으로 어느 정도의 추가적인 저장용량 증가는 가능할 수 있으나, 2차원 방식으로는 대용량 광정보기록 (수백 GB ${\sim}$ TB급)의 실현은 불가능하다는 것이 일반적인 예상이다. 한편 장기적으로 기존의 2차원 정보기록방식을 대체하고 저장용량을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 bit-type 3차원 광정보기록의 개념이 1990년을 전.후로 처음으로 제시되었다. 이는 2차원 bit 정보가 수십 내지 수백 개의 다층 (multi-layer) 형태로 기록되는 방식인데, 그동안 산업체의 관심이 상대적으로 높지 않았던 이유는 영화, 음악 등 엔터테인먼트 시장성 확대를 위해 Blu-ray disc나 HD-DVD에 대한 연구개발에 치중해왔기 때문이다. 하지만 최근 급변하는 정보시스템 서비스 환경 속에서 정보유통량이 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있고 개인이 취급하는 정보량도 2010년경에는 수백 GB 단위가 될 것으로 예상되고 있으며 디지털 방송, 네트워크를 기반으로 한 서비스 수요 뿐 만 아니라 전자도서관이나 VOD (Video on Demand) 서비스 사업에 필수적인 수 TB급의 대용량 저장장치에 대한 수요 또한 크게 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 이에 따라 점차 그 물리적 한계에 다다르고 있는 기존의2차원 정보저장방식을 대체하고 저장용량을 획기적으로 증가시킬 수 있는3차원 정보기록(> $10^{13}$ $bits/cm^3$)에 대한 필요성이 대두된다.

Background: To assess the normal retina of the pigeon eye using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and establish a normative reference. Methods: Twelve eyes of six ophthalmologically normal pigeons (Columba livia) were included. SD-OCT images were taken with dilated pupils under sedation. Four meridians, including the fovea, optic disc, red field, and yellow field, were obtained in each eye. The layers, including full thickness (FT), ganglion cell complex (GCC), thickness from the retinal pigmented epithelium to the outer nuclear layer (RPE-ONL), and from the retinal pigmented epithelium to the inner nuclear layer (RPE-INL), were manually measured. Results: The average FT values were significantly different among the four meridians (p < 0.05), with the optic disc meridian being the thickest (294.0 ± 13.9 ㎛). The average GCC was thickest in the optic disc (105.3 ± 27.1 ㎛) and thinnest in the fovea meridian (42.8 ± 15.3 ㎛). The average RPE-INL of the fovea meridian (165.5 ± 18.3 ㎛) was significantly thicker than that of the other meridians (p < 0.05). The average RPE-ONL of the fovea, optic disc, yellow field, and red field were 91.2 ± 5.2 ㎛, 87.7 ± 5.3 ㎛, 87.6 ± 6.5 ㎛, and 91.4 ± 3.9 ㎛, respectively. RPE-INL and RPE-ONL thickness of the red field meridian did not change significantly with measurement location (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Measured data could be used as normative references for diagnosing pigeon retinopathies and further research on avian fundus structure.

In this paper, we have investigated the disc warping in high-speed slim-type optical disc drive. The track density as well as high rotational speed of the information storage devices must be increased to enhance their recording capacity and data transfer rate. Generally, ODD used in the Lap-top computer has small inner space. So, the flow instability of the inner space is increased rapidly with its rotational speed. In extreme case, the flow instability may cause the malfunction of the read/write pick-up of drives. The experiments and numerical analysis were carried out for several cases and the result shows the influence of airflow to the disc warping.

Recently, an optical disc system has been proposed using blue laser diode, high NA objective lens and groove only disc structure. A new method is needed to readout CD and DVD in this blue system. In order to readout CD and DVD in HD-DVD system, we adopted dual-lenses actuator in consideration of optical utilization efficiency, optical performance and insurance of sufficient W.D (working distance). This dual-lenses actuator has two objectives in radial direction, one is for CD/DVD and the other is for HD-DVD. We had to solve the induced problems of DC tilt increase, $2^{nd}$ resonance deterioration and AC sensitivity drop caused by disposing two lenses in an actuator. Especially, to solve AC sensitivity drop, we introduced two 2-pole magnets and separated focus and track magnetic circuits. Consequently we presented that dual-lenses actuator has been possessed good performance. And we measured eye patterns of CD, DVD and HD-DVD by using HD-DVD optical pick-up with dual-lenses actuator.
