Abstract

A magneto-optical flying head utilizes a steerable mirror in combination with a light source and a lens to write and read data onto a magneto-optical storage disk. A beam of laser light transmitted from the light source to the optical head is reflected onto a steerable micro-machined folding mirror. The reflected light from the folding mirror is directed through an embedded micro-objective GRIN lens. Fine tracking and short seeks to adjacent tracks are performed by rotating the mirror about an axis of rotation. In this way a focus spot is scanned back and forth in a direction which is approximately parallel to the radial direction of the storage disk.

Description of the Invention (〆) In a magneto-optical storage system, a magneto-optical head assembly is placed on a linear actuator to store data During recording and reading, the optical head is moved in the radial direction of the magnetic disk and the optical head assembly is positioned on the data track. A magnetic coil is placed on a separate component on the optical head assembly , Used to generate a The magnetic field of the magnetic element. By focusing the laser beam on the disk for the first time to form an optical spot, the generated mark will indicate zero or one, so a polar perpendicular magnetization phenomenon opposite the position of the surrounding material of the medium will be The function of the optical point β is to heat the magneto-optical material close to or exceed the Curie point (that is, the temperature at which the magnetization occurs immediately under the condition of applying a magnetic field). The current passing through the magnetic coil will adjust the spontaneity The magnetization phenomenon is upward or downward. This adjustment action will only occur in a suitable area where the temperature is high in the optical point. When the laser beam is removed, the adjustment of the magnetization phenomenon mark will be preserved. If by the magnetic coil A laser beam generated by a magnetic field located in the opposite direction is generated to locally heat the mark to the Curie point, and the above mark will be erased or rewritten. Because the magnetic Kerr effect can detect the optical polarization Kerr's rotation on a reflected beam by magnetizing a specific mark, the information can be read from a special mark on the magnetic disk 'Kerr's The size of the rotation is determined by the material characteristics (the specific type is the Kerr's coefficient). By detecting the direction of rotation of the spontaneous magnetization at a specific mark is clockwise or counterclockwise to establish a different detection method, You can measure the amount of rotation. 4 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page "-------- Order ---- I ----This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) A) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5. Description of the Invention ($) The conventional magneto-optical heads that currently provide magneto-optical disks with a reading area density of about one billion bits per square inch are easy because The relatively large optical components cause the size of the optical head to become very large (the linear size is 3-15mm). Therefore, the traditional magneto-optical head is mechanically driven to read new data located on the magneto-optical storage disk. The magnetic track will move very slowly. In addition, due to the large size of these optical components, the most likely magneto-optical disk drive on the market uses only one magneto-optical head to read and write to one side of the magneto-optical disk at the same time For example, currently available commercially available magneto-optical storage devices are provided to read one side of a 130mm double-sided 2.6 ISO gigabyte magneto-optical disk, where the disk read time 40 milliseconds, and the data transfer rate 4.6 million bytes per second. N. Yamada (US Patent No. 5,255,260) discloses a lower-shaped flying optical head for reading and writing the upper and lower surfaces of several optical disks. Revealed by Yamada The flying optical head uses a static mirror or chirp for transmitting light to and receiving light from a phase-change optical disk. Although the static optical device described by Yamada provides how to read A method of writing a number of phase change optical disks contained in a fixed volume, two upper and lower surfaces, but the use of the optical device disclosed by Yamada is limited by how small the above optical device can be made. Therefore, The number of optical disks that can be made to work in a known volume is also limited. Another disadvantage is the use of static folding mirrors. This method of processing 5

Description of the invention () () The polarization modes of the optical fibers 130 and 14O will all bear different refractive indices. For example, because Each optical fiber and changes in temperature, pressure, and mechanical movement will cause a slight difference in the birefringence index, so the relative phase variation will be enhanced. The above variation will be detected by the laser-optical component no. And before serious changes occur, a feedback servo (not shown in the figure) adjusts the phase compensator to offset this variation. In this way, a round-trip flying magneto-optic head composed of optical fibers 130 and 140 The optical path of I55 is considered to be similar to a free-space optical path based on its own polarization characteristics.

In a preferred embodiment, the metal electrode is coated on the flat end of the cylindrical case to reduce the capacitance 'so that the The voltage is used to cause the housing to expand in the radial direction, thereby stretching the fiber 130. This stretching effect is provided for phase modulation. In order to reduce the mechanical stress on the fiber 130, the diameter of the phase compensator 120 is It is more suitable to be several hundred times larger than the fiber coating diameter of the optical fiber 130. For example, 'the fiber coating diameter is about 80 micrometers corresponding to the phase compensator 120 straight 13 This paper size applies to the Chinese national standard < CNS) A4 Specifications (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this page--------- Order --II --- I.

Description of the invention (vM micromechanical folding mirror 34 °. The main axis of the V-shaped groove (thus, the main axis of the optical fiber 350 on the V-shaped groove) is almost parallel to the surface of the medium 180. From the optical fiber 350 The exiting light is reflected by the micromechanical folding mirror 340 at an average angle of almost 90 degrees with the main axis of the optical fiber 350.

Description of the invention (^ /) In the use of floating recesses In this situation, those skilled in the art will know that the output of the differential amplifier 210 of the laser optical component 110 must be supplemented with an adder circuit. By continuously adjusting the current input to the actuator coil (in Fig. 1, some actuator magnets and coils 145 are shown) to maintain a rough tracking effect to control the optical head arm suspension 165 At the same time, the precise tracking function is completed by continuously adjusting the angle deviation of a steerable mirror 340. Since a method for operating an optical beam can be provided very quickly, it is advantageous to use a steerable micromechanical mirror. This method facilitates high-speed tracing and short-term searching, and is used to greatly improve data access time. Due to the ability to use very narrow track pitches, the high area density produced by the above improved results exceeds conventional optical head technology. The design of the flying magnetic head Π0 is confocal in nature. When reading data, the light reflected from the magneto-optical storage medium 180 is coupled back to the single-mode polarity-maintaining fiber 140 as the aperture in a confocal system. One of the advantages of using a confocal optical system includes resolution with very high depth along the optical axis and improved lateral resolution. Another advantage is that the confocal system has the advantage that the light reflected from the optical surface of the objective lens will not be collected, making it unnecessary to use an anti-reflection coating. The use of a flat lens and several non-zero working distances are particularly advantageous in design. In addition, 'high-depth resolution allows the intervals between layers in a multi-layered medium (not shown in the figure) to be very close, and the data leakage between each layer has become very small.
