    摘要: A semiconductor optical amplifier device includes an active layer, an n-type InP substrate, an n-type InP clad layer, a p-type InP clad layer, p-electrodes and n-electrodes. The active layer is made of, e.g., InGaAsP, and includes a saturable absorption region and optical amplification regions. A common modulated current is injected into each optical amplification region through the p-electrode. A modulated current is injected into the saturable absorption region through the p-electrode independently of the optical amplification region. The active layer receives injection light produced by adding additional noise light to an externally applied light signal, and emits output light produced by amplifying the injection light.

    摘要: A video recording/reproduction system is equipped with a magnetic disk drive, which records and reproduces video data on a magnetic disk by driving a magnetic head. Herein, the magnetic disk drive is controlled by a CPU in accordance with control programs, while a host machine is provided to perform a variety of controls regarding recording and reproduction in accordance with commands being given by manipulation of an operation panel. The magnetic disk drive is characterized by performing a reassignment process and/or calibration such as to suppress reduction of throughput of video data. That is, if the CPU fails to access a target sector of the magnetic disk so that the target sector is regarded as a defect sector, the CPU makes a decision whether to perform the reassignment process based on transfer speeds and vacant capacity of a buffer memory built in the magnetic disk drive. If transferring data of the host machine overflow the buffer memory by execution of the reassignment process, the CPU temporarily refuges the data to a storage, then, after completion of recording or reproduction, the CPU performs the reassignment process again. Further, the magnetic disk drive performs calibration only when a time margin between a present time and a start time of reserved recording is greater that a calibration time. Thus, it is possible to avoid occurrence of breaks by which pictures being recorded or reproduced are interrupted intermittently. So, it is possible to improve reliability and picture quality in recording and reproduction.

The resolution performance of the MR head is evaluated according to the order value P of the above equation which gives the most likelihood approximation of the isolated wave form, together with the half-peak-width PW50 relative to a minimum bit-interval to be reproduced by the MR head.

    摘要: A method for erasing information recorded on a magnetic tape by a magnetic erase head having a magnetic core having a magnetic gap of a predetermined width and a coil wound on the core. An erasing current is flown through the coil to generate an erasing magnetic field above the magnetic gap. The magnetic field generated by that current has a profile defined by a first zero point, first and second peak points, and a second zero point above the magnetic erase head. The magnetic tape having information recorded therein through the magnetic field is moved above the magnetic erase head. The frequency of the erasing current and a moving speed of the magnetic tape relative to the magnetic erase head are set such that the magnetic field changes in phase at least three times during a time in which the magnetic tape is moved in a moving direction of the magnetic tape by a distance which is determined by the first zero point and the first peak point of the magnetic field profile.
