H. Ooki et al., A NOVEL SUPER RESOLUTION TECHNIQUE FOR HIGH-DENSITY OPTICAL-DATA STORAGE USING MODE INTERFERENCE IN CHANNEL WAVE-GUIDES, JPN J A P 1, 32(4), 1993, pp. 1668-1671
A novel super-resolution system using a waveguide device is proposed a
nd theoretical considerations are given. This system is capable of rai
sing the storage density of optical discs considerably. The detected s
ignal is calculated using scalar diffraction theory and the three-dime
nsional beam propagation method. The structure of the disc is substant
ially the same as that of conventional compact discs, which is the out
standing advantage of this method.
