    摘要: In an information recording apparatus for recording information onto a recording medium by utilizing a technology in a near-field microscope, the information recording apparatus carries out recording with reliability and density. An optical probe (1) or micro-cantilever (12) utilized in a near-field microscope is used as a recording probe (26). The recording probe (26) at its tip is heated by laser light (28) illumination or heating by an electric heating element to radiate microscopic-region thermal energy through the tip to a recording medium (3). This makes it possible to record microscopically information onto the recording medium (3) that varies in physical properties due to heating. Furthermore, thermal energy is provided to a recording position through an auxiliary heat radiating means thereby enabling recording more positively.

    摘要: The present invention has an object, in a near-field optical probe having a microscopic aperture to generate and/or scatter a near field, to obtain a near-field optical probe easy to be made in an array which increases the intensity of a near field to be generated and/or scattered and is adapted for use as an optical memory head. This near-field optical probe is arranged with a planar lens having microscopic lens on a flat surface substrate having an inverted conical or pyramidal hole formed therethrough such that its apex is made as the microscopic aperture, wherein a light source is further arranged thereon to introduce light to the planar lens. Because the arrangement is made such that the planar lens has a focal point positioned at the microscopic aperture, the light given by the light source can be efficiently collected to the microscopic aperture. Also, the above structure can be arrayed and mass produced using a silicon process, thus being adapted for use as an optical memory head.

    摘要: In a recording apparatus for reproducing information recorded on a recording medium by utilizing near-field light, the recording apparatus realizes reliable information reproduction with a simple structure. Illumination light 20 is illuminated to the recording medium 10 to create near-field light on a surface of the recording medium 10. The created near-field light is scattered by a microscopic aperture 12 formed in the aperture element 11 so that scattering light (propagation light) thereof is detected to create a reproduced signal. Derived from the created reproduced light a distance control signal representative of a distance between the microscopic aperture 12 and the recording medium 10. Based on the distance control signal, the aperture element 11 is controlled in position. Due to this, the microscopic aperture 12 is brought into proximity to the recording medium 10.

    摘要: High density data storage device has a support substrate and one or more different types of phosphors contained at each of plural regularly arranged microscopic regions of the support substrate. Each of the different types of phosphors has a fluorescence characteristic that may be faded by incident light having a different predetermined wavelength. The use of near-field light facilitates a reduction in size of the space required for each data bit. By providing a plurality of different types of phosphors at each of the microscopic regions, the amount of information storable at each bit space is rendered multi-valued to enable higher density recording.

    摘要: An optical pattern recognition method which can be applied to a joint transform correlator operative to effect correlation processing between a plurality of reference images and at least a single object image to produce correlation peaks corresponding to the respective reference images. The joint transform correlator is provided with a feedback system effective to regulate the intensity of the respective reference images according to the corresponding correlation peak value so as to noise-shape the correlation peaks to discriminate most-correlated reference images. The pattern recognition method is carried out in the correlator sequentially by first preparing a plurality of initial groups each containing a given number of individual reference images and carrying out the pattern recognition of the object image with respect to each of the initial groups to discriminate each of the most-associated reference images having a maximum correlation coefficient in each initial group. Next, the discriminated most-associated reference images are regrouped into new groups, the number of groups is less than that of the initial groups, and the pattern recognition of the object image with respect to the new groups is again carried out so as to enable next regrouping. Then, the regrouping is repeatedly carried out so as to reduce the number of the groups to thereby form a final group and carrying out the pattern recognition of the object image using the final group of reference images to thereby determine a particular reference image corresponding to the object image.
