Abstract:
A substrate is deformed into a raised shape by irradiating an optical disc recording medium with a laser beam at a prescribed laser power. As the substrate is deformed into the raised shape, a reflecting film laminated on the substrate is also deformed into the raised shape, and a reproduction signal level equivalent to that of a land portion can be obtained at a pit portion by the embodiment of the raised deformation. A reproduction signal level equivalent to that of the pit portion can be obtained at the land. At this time, since the raised deformation embodiment can be controlled by the power of the laser beam applied, the pit can be made into land and the land can be made into pit by setting the laser power. Thus, recording data can be rewritten in the optical disc recording medium wherein data is recorded by the combination of the pits and lands formed on the substrate.
Abstract:
AN EQUALIZER USED FOR AN OPTICAL REPRODUCING APPARATUS PERFORMS AN OPTIMAL EQUALIZING OPERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPATIAL FREQUENCY WITHOUT NEEDING AN ELECTRICAL EQUALIZER. THE OPTICAL REPRODUCING APPARATUS REPRODUCES THE REPRODUCING DATA IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER. A DETECTOR IS PROVIDED FOR RECEIVING REFLECTED LIGHT FROM A DISC. THE DETECTOR IS DIVIDED INTO A PLURALITY OF LIGHT RECEIVING AREAS BY A LINE PERPENDICULAR TO THE LIGHT RECEIVING DIRECTION CORRESPONDING TO THE DISC TRACK DIRECTION. THEN, CALCULATIONS ARE MADE ON THE OUTPUTS FROM THE RESPECTIVE LIGHT RECEIVING AREAS TO SPECIFICALLY CORRECT THE SPATIAL FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS. THE CALCULATED SIGNAL IS THEN DECODED.
Abstract:
A substrate for bioassay on which a specimen substance can be adequately placed or dripped on an arbitrary reaction region portion efficiently so as to adequately detect an interaction such as hybridization in the arbitrary reaction region portion. The substrate (1) comprises a detection unit (2) th at has a data detection region (21) including at least a reaction region (21b) for providing a field where an interaction between a substance (D) for detection and a target substance (T) occurs and a servo region (22) formed i n a region not overlapping with the data detection region (21) and serving to optically provide position information on the data detection region (21).
