Description
本発明は、2001年9月1日の出願日を有する米国仮特許出願第60/316566号の本願より前の出願日の利益および優先権に関連し、その権利を有し、同出願の内容全体は、参照により本願明細書に援用されたものとする。
本発明は、光記録材料および光データ記憶検索システムに関する。より詳しく言えば、本発明は、短波長レーザを用いて効率的に記録および消去されてよい相変化材料を含む光記録媒体を提供する。さらに詳しく言えば、本発明は、低出力エネルギー源を介して記録および消去ができるように、光スタック内に、補助的なエネルギーを相変化材料に供給するための設備を含む。また、本発明は、青色レーザ、またはプラズモンレンズを通る光のプラズモン結合を用いた、光データ記憶容量の増大に関する。
コンピュータ、情報技術、および娯楽の用途範囲が継続的に拡大するのに伴って、情報およびデータを処理するための記憶検索システムの高速化および効率化の需要が高まっている。これらのシステムにとって最も重要なものは、迅速に情報を記録、読み出し、および消去できるとともに、可能な限り多くの情報を記憶することができる記録媒体である。光記録媒体は、今後の情報記憶需要にとって最も有望なものとなり得る。現在、これらにより、全光手段を介して情報を読み出し、書き込み、および消去することができる。
本発明により、短波長または低出力励起源を用いる場合、記録および/または消去効率が高められた改良された光記録媒体および光データ記憶システムが提供される。
青色レーザ
本発明により、青色および他の短波長レーザ源とともに使用するのに適した光記録媒体および光記憶検索システムが提供される。本発明は、光記録媒体上に情報を読み出し、書き込み、および消去するために青色レーザを使用する利益を実現するために必要な2つの重要な態様に取り組んでいる。第1に、本発明は、青色レーザに基づいて情報記憶検索システムに組み込むための現行の材料よりも適した新しい相変化材料を開発する必要性に対処するものである。第2に、本発明は、経済的で小型の青色レーザの出力が、光記録システムにおいて現在使用されている赤色および近赤外線レーザより低いと予測されることに対処するものである。
本願発明者等は、単純な格子が発生するものよりも光プラズモン結合強度を高めるプラズモンレンズを作製した。さらに、terabit/in2の記憶密度には、約30nmの開口が必要になる。650nmレーザ光を使用した場合であっても、要求される開口は、依然として、λより20X以上小さい。格子運動量を使用することが、光子がプラズモンと結合できる唯一の方法ではないことは言うまでもない。別の方法は、エバネッセント結合により広義にあらわされる。格子とエバネッセント結合との両方を組み合わせることにより、光プラズモン相互作用強度は、おそらく、PC光記録を可能にするレベルまで高められる。
