    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical memory medium based on completely novel memory principle and to obtain an optical memory device using this medium by recording data corresponding to characteristics of an amorphous solid selected from a group of materials each having refractive index and reflectance. SOLUTION: The amorphous solid is selected from a group of diamond-like carbon, silicon carbide, boron carbide, boron nitride, amorphous silicon and amorphous germanium, and the solid contains hydrogen by up to 50 atm% with covalent bonds. A specified region of the amorphous solid having a first refractive index and having atoms with covalent bonds is heated with laser light to change the refractive index in the heated area to a second refractive index. Thus, two states can be produced to correspond the memory of data without dissolving or crystallizing the amorphous solid. The density of the solid is changed by heating, which accompanies changes in the refractive index and reflectance.

    Abstract: X-RAY MASK SUBSTRATE AND METHOD OF FABRICATION THEREOF An improved X-ray lithography mask has been fabricated by forming an X ray absorbing lithography pattern on a supporting foil of hydrogenated amorphous carbon. The substrate foil is formed by depositing a carbon film in the presence of hydrogen onto a surface having a temperature below 375.degree.C. The hydrogen concentration is maintained sufficiently high that the resulting film has at least one atom percent of hydrogen. A film having about 20 atom percent of hydrogen is preferred. While impurities are permitted, impurities must be maintained at a level such that the optical bandgap of the resulting film is at least one electron volt. A film with an optical bandgap of about 2 electron volts is preferred.

    Abstract: An optical assembly structure wherein miniature optical components such as lasers, modulators, lenses, thin-film and fiber-optic waveguides, and photodetectors are critically aligned and supported for coactive operation by means of two or more wafers which are formed with complementary grooves and mortises to support the loose optical components such as lenses and fiber-optic waveguides and to receive alignment rails to insure the relativity of the wafers, which also have formed integral therewith optical elements such as waveguides, modulators, and lasers, to produce an integrated optical assembly somewhat in the manner of an "optical bench," wherein the bench structure also provides an active optical element.
