An analog controlled angle diffuser and associated methods provide a wavelength insensitive diffuser with a controlled output. The diffuser has free formed shaped analog fringes, i.e., fringes which have a continuous cross-section from their peak to their termination. Preferably, the depth of the analog fringes will be at least 2&pgr;, even more preferably at least 2O&pgr;. Advantageously, the pattern of the diffuser is computer-generated.
摘要:
An integrated micro-optical system includes at least two wafers with at least two optical elements provided on respective surfaces of the at least two wafers. An active element having a characteristic which changes in response to an applied field may be integrated on a bottom surface of the wafers. The resulting optical system may present a high numerical aperture. Preferably, one of the optical elements is a refractive element formed in a material having a high index of refraction.

An integrated optical head, such as, for a disk drive, preferably includes an optically transparent substrate. The substrate has a diffractive optical element formed on one face and a plurality of electrical contact pads exposed on the other face. A light source is positioned to emit light through the substrate, through the diffractive optical element, and toward data storage media. The light source includes a plurality of electrical contact pads corresponding to the plurality of electrical contact-pads exposed on the face of the substrate. An optical detector is positioned to detect light reflected from the data storage media, through the diffractive optical element, and through the substrate. The optical detector includes a plurality of exposed electrical contact pads corresponding to the plurality of electrical contact pads exposed on the face of the substrate. The substrate and the light source and optical detector are passively aligned using solder bumps between pairs of contact pads. A mechanical passive alignment arrangement is also disclosed.
