In this paper, a new visual servo method, which uses 5 axis picomotor to compensate the misalignment generated between a SLM and a CCD in a holographic storage device, was proposed and the effectiveness of it was proved by the experiment. In a holographic storage device, the data processing is done by the SLM and the CCD, and the shape of data is 2 dimensional binary patterns. Therefore, the exact image matching between the SLM and the CCD is very important, and the mismatching of it causes the errors in the data reconstruction. First, the brief introduction of a holographic data storage is given, then, BER concept which is errors caused by pixel mismatch between the SLM and the CCD is defined. Second, the geometric relation between 5 axis picomotor and the CCD movement is studied. Finally, the visual servo method using 5 axis picomotor to reduce the BER in a holographic storage device is proposed and experimented. From the experiment, we find that about 3% BER improvement is obtained by the proposed method.

AFM tip has been used for surface profiling with a fine resolution, but there is a barrier to improve its performance because of the low aspect ratio. Many researchers have solved this problem with attaching carbon nanotube (CNT) to Si-tip. In this paper, we proposed the aligner system that composed of dual type stage system, and these stages could attach a carbon nanotube to tungsten-tip in vacuum condition. We used tungsten tip instead of Si-tip because of its conductivity. The aligner system proposed in this paper has 10 degree-of-freedom that 3 in the first stage and 7 in the second stage. With picomotors and piezotube, the first stage has the resolution about several tens of nm and the second stage has a resolution about a nm. We experimented on characterization of Nano Aligner System and operated picomotors in SEM environment.
