Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Photographic copying of plates having coded video and audio information of a very fine structure.
Use is made of aromatic diazosulphide as a photosen-sitive system in which after exposure a metal nuclei image is produced by contact with metal salt, which image is intensified by physical development to a metal image having a density below D = 1.

Description

The invention relates to a method of making copies oE information tracks on carriers and in part--icular of information tracks of a spiral-like struc-ture, in which audio and/or video information is stored in the form of frequency- or phase-modulated signals, and which structure is built up from blocks of variable length which lie in a flat plane separated by areas of variable length which also lie in a flat plane. This type of information tracks which i5 des-cribed in British Patent Specification 1,391~541 has a very fine structure; the length of the said blocks in practice is of the order of ljum and the width thereof is approximately 0.3/um.
It is known from United States Patent Specification 3,381,085 to photographically make copies of information tracks on which coded images are provided in the form of a spiral-like track of variable light transmission which has been written ; by means of a modulated electron beam. Such an information track has a rather coarse structure.
Photographical reproduction thereof does not present any problem.

~ - 2 -~9 4~ ~EIN 85Q3 Z2.6.77 It hls been found, however, that .i.nformation tracks of` t;he lcind as described in British Patent Spe-cification l,391,541 cannot be copied as such photo-graphically Light scattering during the eYposure and the occurrence of deflection phenomena may produce annoying back ground no:ise.
The usual photographic emulsions on the basis of silver halide are -too coarse--grarlul.ar to be able to reprocluce the fine detai]s of the infor-: mation track without losses. Even emulsions of this kind having a very small grain, the so-called Iipp-mann emulsions, proved to be unfit for this purpose.
The occurrence of deflection phenomena which i5 associated with the fact that the wavelength of the light which is used for making the copy is of .
the same order of magnitude as the images to be co-p:ied, was experienced to be very annoyi.ng in~various systems, including sorne molecul.ar disperse ligh~-sensitive systelns, such as material whictl contains . an aromati.c d.iazosulpllonate and which aft;er expo-~
su:re is contacted with a solution containing me~r-curous :ions and possi~ly also silver ions so that physically developable mercury-or silve:r ama.1.gam nuclei are obtained.
hpart from this it has be~n f`ound that the di.a.70sulphonates are insuf`ficien-tly resistant PIIN ~503 ~2~6O77 to dit`fuslon so that a considerable part of the defi--nition :if the or:igi.nal would be lost. Moreover~ it is actually not obvious at all to photographically mal~e copies of` informa-tion tracks of` the above-mentioned kind, as obtained, f'or example, according to the method described in British Patent Speci~ication 1,447,a66. According to this method, a photolac;luer is provided on an information carrier of` clisc-form and, by rotation of the disc relatlve to a puncti--~orm source of radi.ati.on, in particu:l.ar a beam of radiation provided by a :Laser, is inte~ i.ttently e~
posed and not exposed during -variable times corres-ponding to the information, the photolacquer is developed and the desired informa-tion track i9 e tch-ed.
The information track thus COllSiStS of a relief image. When a copy is to be made herefrom photographically, a.n image in the carrier is ob~
tained wh:ioh e~tends substaIltially througrhollt the thiclcness o:~ the carri.er. It is not obvious at all that the whole video and audio information wou:l.d 'be transmit-ted completely by th:is.
lt has surprisingly been found no-~S llo1r-ever, that excellent copies of in~orn~ation carriers having a sp.iral~like informatioll track or a track built up f'rom concentric circles in ~rhich aud~o and/or video information is stored in the form of .

frequency- or phase-modulated signals in the form of blocks of variable lengths which lle in a flat plane, separated by regions of variable lengths which also lie in a flat plane are obtained according to the invention by means of the photographic system known from British Patent Specifica-tion 1,227,116. In this system use is made of photosensitive material consisting of a base layer in which a photosensi-tive compound is present which is of the type which after exposure provides a light reaction produc-t which is capable of reacting wi~h mercurous ions in the presence of moisture and preferably also in the presence of silver ions while separating mercury or silver amalgam which is deposited in the form of a physically developable metal nuclei image, which photosensitive compound is an aromatic diazosulphide of the structure ~ - N = N - S - R, Xn wherein the benzene ring may contain one or more substituents X and wherein R .is a branched or non-branched alkyl group or aralkyl group, the resulting nuclei image being developed to a density below D - 1 above the basic density of the carrier.

9 ~5~ Pll~ 03 22.6077 By thus developing to a comparati.vely low dens:ity, -the above--men.tioIIecl i.nterfering deflect-Lon images are sllppressed. lt is surprising in itsel,~
-that images havi,ng SllCh unusual lo~ densities are capable of comprising the full information.
In copies o~tained according to the inven--tion it i,s advantageous to read thern in reflection against a reflecting surface presentr The unblacken'~
ed parts of the inforrnatioll carrier will ref:lect the li.ght substant:ially unat-tenuatedly, ~hile the image parts absorb twice: once for the inci.dent light and once for the reflected light, For this pUrpoSQ~ the copy may preferably be provided with a reflect:ing metal layer~ for exam-ple a vapour-deposited alun1inium layer.
The invention will now be descr~bed with reference to a few exampl~s: , ple 1 Plates of polymethylmethacrylate hav:lng a diameter of 31~0 mm and a thicl~ness of 1 mm are c:Leaned and then provided with a layer o:C cellul.ose acetobutyrate.
