Introduction to OptoelectronicsOptical storage (2) Prof. Katsuaki Sato
What we learn today. • Optical storage is a storage using light for read-out of recorded information • Record density is determined by the spot size of the light beam, which is limited by the wavelength of the light and the NA (numerical aperture) of lens. • There are three categories of optical storage, i.e., read-only type, write-once type and rewritable type. • Different physical phenomena are used for recording of the signal on optical disks.
α spot sized Spot size at the focal point • Numerical aperture of lens • NA=nsinα • d=0.6λ/NA CD-ROM: NA=0.6 λ=780nm→d=780nmDVD: λ=650nm→d=650nmBD: NA=0.85λ=405nm→d=285nmHD-DVD: NA=0.6λ=405nm→d=405nm
Classification of optical storages • Optical disk • Read only type • CD, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM • Recordable type • Direct read after write (Write once type) • CD-R, DVD-R • Rewritable (recording and erasing) • Phase change CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, BD, HD-DVD • Magneto-optical: MO, GIGAMO, MD, Hi-MD, AS-MO, iD-Photo • Holographic memory, Hole-burning memory
Physical phenomena used in optical disk technology • CD-ROM, DVD-ROM: • pit formation • CD-R, DVD-R: • Chemical decomposition of organic dye • CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW : • Phase change between ordered and disordered states • MO, MD, GIGAMO, iD-Photo, HD-MD: • Magnetic phase change between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states • Holographic memory: Photorefractive effect • Hole-burning memory: Local structure change
Characteristics of optical disk • Removable • Large capacity, high density • 10Gb/in2 (far less than HD(100 Gb/in2)) • Aiming at 100 Gb/in2 using near-field technique • Random accessibility • Cassette MD, VTR DVD • Shorter access than magnetic tape • Longer seek time than HD • High reliability • Higher head clearance than HD

Phase change recording • Phase change between different phases • Rewritable:As grown amorphous state is initialized to crystalline state by annealing. Recording is performed by heating above the melting point Tm (600C) followed by quenching to amorphous state. Erasing is done by heating to Tcr(400 C) to crystallize. • High level :Heating above Tm→rapid cool→amorphous • Low level:Heating above Tcr→slow cool→crystalline DVD-RAM: GeSbTe based alloy DVD±RW: Ag-InSbTe based alloy

Crystalline and amorphous recorded: amorphous Initial:crystalline R: high R: low Record Erase laser spot recorded mark
What is amorphous? • Amorphous • non crystalline (disordered) state • without LRO (long range order) but with SRO (short range order) • Atomic arrangement of liquid is frozen • Metastable state introduced by rapid cooling of liquid • Random metallic alloy, chalcogenide glass, tetrahedral system, oxide glass • DRPHS (dense random packing of hard spheres) can explain RDF (radial distribution function)
