Abstract: A multiple data layer optical disk drive system has fixed aberration correction and uses a disk with maximum interlayer spacing for reduced interlayer crosstalk. In one embodiment the multiple data layer disk has a substrate with a thickness that is reduced by approximately one-half the thickness of the spacer layer that separates the first and last data layers. The disk is designed to operate with a lens that has spherical aberration correction to compensate for the thickness of a conventional single data layer disk. This allows the disk drive to handle multiple data layer disks as well as to be backward compatible and thus handle conventional single data layer disks. The thickness of the substrate material plus one-half the thickness of the spacer layer material (which may have a different index of refraction than the substrate material) is equivalent, for purposes of spherical aberration correction, to the thickness of the substrate material used in the conventional single data layer disk. The focused spot with minimum spherical aberration is thus located at the middle of the spacer layer rather than on the first data layer. The spacer layer thickness is selected so that when the focused spot is located on either the first or last data layer there is some deliberately designed spherical aberration, although an amount that is acceptable. As a result the thickness of the spacer layer can be significantly increased to thereby reduce interlayer crosstalk. In another embodiment that substrate thickness and spacer layer thickness are selected and then the lens is corrected for spherical aberration corresponding to the thickness of substrate material plus one-half the thickness of spacer layer material.

Abstract: The optical data storage system comprises an optical medium comprising two spaced-apart substrates having the same material thickness, each substrate having a data layer. At least one of the substrates has a data layer which is at least partially transmissive. A light source is located near a first one of the substrates. A device directs light from the source to the medium, and includes a device for focusing the light to a discrete number of focusing positions. Each position defines an optical path between the light source and a corresponding one of the data layers. Each of the two optical paths includes a passage through substrate material having a total thickness equal to three substrate thicknesses.

Abstract: A method for recording, reading and erasing data bits in a data storage device is described. Using extended scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) techniques, a tunnelling electron current by resistive heating selectively melts discrete areas of a state-transformable film; then heat is dissipated rapidly, writing data bits by changing the film in the areas from a first state to a second state wherein an electronic property, such as conductance, work function or band gap, in the areas is changed. Again, using extended STM techniques, the effect of this changed electronic property of the film on the tunnelling current is measured for reading the written data bits. Minimising the effect of blemishes on the material is effected, during operation in STM constant current mode by measuring dI/dV or dI/ds, and during operation in STM variable current (constant gap) mode by measuring (dI/dV)/I or (dI/ds)/I. Also, by using extended STM techniques, data bits can be selectively erased by resistance heating the film to a temperature higher than the crystallisation temperature for a sufficient period of time, restoring selected discrete areas to the first state and each affected electronic property substantially to its original condition.

Abstract: An optical data storage system comprises a multiple data surface medium (12) and optical head. The medium (12) comprises a plurality of substrates (50, 56, 62, 68, 74) separated by a light transmissive medium (78). Data surfaces (90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100, 102, 104) are located on the substrate surfaces. A layer of a semiconductor material is deposited onto each of the data surfaces. The thickness of the semiconductor layer determines the amount of reflectivity for each of the data surfaces.

Abstract: An optical data storage system 10 comprises an optical disk drive and a multiple data surface magneto-optical medium 12. The medium comprises a substrate 50, a first dielectric layer 130, a first magneto-optical data layer 132, a second dielectric layer 134, a transmissive member 78, a third dielectric layer 140, a second magneto-optical data layer 142, a fourth dielectric layer 144, and a reflector layer 146. The thicknesses of the magneto-optical and dielectric layers are selected to maximize the magneto-optical read out signal received from the data layers. The disk drive includes a phase retarder for improving the signal from the magneto-optical data layers.
