Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical data storage system for recording and/or reading, using a radiation beam, having a wavelength ⁇ , focused onto a data storage layer of an optical data storage medium, said system comprising:
- an optical head including an objective having a numerical aperture NA, said objective including a solid immersion lens that is adapted for being present at a free working distance of smaller than ⁇ /10 from an outermost surface of said medium and arranged on the cover layer side of said optical data storage medium, and from which solid immersion lens the focused radiation beam is coupled by evanescent wave coupling into the cover layer of the optical data storage medium during recording/reading.
- the invention further relates to a method of optical recording and/or reading with such a system.
- Fig. 1A an air-incident configuration is drawn in which the data storage layer is at the surface of the data storage medium: so-called first-surface data storage.
- Fig. IB a cover layer with refractive index n protects the data storage layer from a.o. scratches and dust.
- the optical resolution is unchanged if a cover layer is applied on top of the data storage layer:
- the internal opening angle #' is smaller and hence the internal numerical aperture NA' is reduced, but also the wavelength in the medium ⁇ 'is shorter by the same factor no.
- NA' the internal numerical aperture
- Straight forward methods of increasing the optical resolution involve widening of the focused beam opening angle at the cost of lens complexity, narrowing of allowable disk tilt margins, etc. or reduction of the in-air wavelength i.e. changing the colour of the scanning laser.
- SIL solid immersion lens
- the SIL is a half sphere centred on the data storage layer, see Fig. 2A, so that the focussed spot is on the interface between SIL and data layer.
- the SIL is a tangentially cut section of a sphere which is placed on the cover layer with its (virtual) centre again placed on the storage layer, see Fig. 2B.
- the principle of operation of the SIL is that it reduces the wavelength at the storage layer by a factor nsi L , the refractive index of the SIL, without changing the opening angle ⁇ .
- nsi L the refractive index of the SIL
- This air gap should be much smaller than an optical wavelength (typically it should be smaller than ⁇ /10) such that so-called evanescent coupling of the light in the SIL to the disc is still possible.
- the range over which this happens is called the near- field regime.
- Out side this regime at larger air gaps, total internal reflection will trap the light inside the SIL and sent it back up to the laser. Note that in case of the configuration with cover layer as depicted in Fig. 2B, that for proper coupling the refractive index of the cover layer should be at least equal to the refractive index of the SIL, see Fig. 3 for further details.
- a slider-based solution relying on a passive air bearing is used to maintain this small air gap.
- the contamination level of the disk is larger and will require an active, actuator-based solution to control the air gap.
- a gap error signal (GES) must be extracted, preferably from the optical data signal already reflected by the optical medium.
- NA nsu sin ⁇
- Fig. 4 shows a measurement (taken from Ref.
- the accuracy by which the near- field air gap between data layer and the solid immersion lens (SIL) should be kept constant within 5 nm or less in order to get sufficiently stable evanescent coupling.
- the air gap is between cover layer and SIL, see Fig. 2B. Again, the air gap should be kept constant to within 5 nm.
- the SIL focal length should have an offset to compensate for the cover layer thickness, such as to guarantee that the data layer is in focus at all times. Note that the refractive index of the cover layer, if it is lower than the refractive index of the SIL, determines the maximum possible numerical aperture of the system.
- optical data storage system for recording and/or reading of the type mentioned in the opening paragraph, in which reliable data recording and read out is achieved using a near-field solid immersion lens in combination with a cover layer. It is an further object to provide a method of optical recording and/or reading for such a system. This object has been achieved in accordance with the invention by an optical data storage system, which is characterized in that the optical head comprises:
- the cover layer does not have sufficiently small thickness variation ⁇ h, say its thickness varies by more than 50-100 nm, we propose a dynamic correction of focal length to compensate for cover layer thickness variations, in addition to the dynamic air gap correction.
- the purpose is that the data layer is in focus and at the same time the air gap between SIL and cover layer is kept constant so that proper evanescent coupling is guaranteed. Keeping constant means not more variation in air gap than 5 nm, preferably 2 nm.
- the optical lightpath should contain at least two adjustable optical elements. An adjustable optical element could for example be part of either the collimator lens or the objective.
- an objective lens comprising two elements which can be axially displaced to adjust the focal length of the pair without substantially changing the air gap.
- the air gap can then be adjusted by moving the objective as a whole, see Fig. 6.
- a certain amount of spherical aberration will remain.
- active adjustment of spherical aberration will be required and further measures will have to be taken.
- the second optical element is present in the objective.
- the second optical element is present outside the objective.
- the second optical element may e.g. be axially movable with respect to the first optical element.
- the second optical element has a focal length which is electrically adjustable, e.g. by electrowetting or electrically influencing the orientation of liquid crystal material.
- the free working distance is kept constant by using a first, relatively high bandwidth servo loop based on a gap error signal, e.g. derived from the amount of evanescent coupling between the solid immersion lens and the cover layer,
- the first optical element is actuated based on the first servo loop
- the second optical element is adjusted based based on the second servo loop in order to retrieve an optimal modulated signal.
- relatively high bandwidth is meant a normal optical recording focus servo bandwidth, e.g. several kHz.
- an oscillation is superimposed on the adjustment of the second optical element and wherein the focus control signal additionally is derived from the oscillation direction of the second optical element and from the modulation depth of a modulated signal recorded in the data storage layer.
- the focus servo is derived from the modulation depth of a modulated signal recorded in the data storage layer a small continuous oscillation of the focal depth, i.e. a periodic modulation super imposed on the focus adjustment signal, is needed. Small means of the order of a focal depth.
- the focal position is oscillated and the polarity of the focus control signal is derived from both the modulation depth of a modulated signal recorded in the data storage layer and the oscillation direction of the focal position.
- the modulated signal is present as pre-recorded data in the optical data storage medium, e.g. in a lead-in area of the optical data storage medium.
- the modulated signal is present as a wobbled track of the optical data storage medium.
- the focus control signal is derived from an S-curve type focus error signal.

- a gap actuator (GA) is used for control of the air gap.
- This gap actuator is fitted with a smaller focus actuator (FA) that is used to control the focal position. Note that this smaller focus actuator may have a much smaller bandwidth than the larger gap actuator because it only needs to suppress cover layer thickness variations that are of the order of several microns.
- the focus actuator is driven by a PID controller (PID 1) with a conventional normalised (astigmatic or Foucault) focus error signal (FEN) as input.
- the normalised focus error signal is generated by divider 1 from a difference signal ( ⁇ FES) and sum signal ( ⁇ FES) from a set of photodiodes.
