Reliable channel modeling becomes an important measure in performance evaluation on various data detection algorithms. For this reason, correct and accurate modeling is required. This paper presents a nonlinear modeling of Super-RENS (Super-Resolution Near Field Structure) read-out signal using the second-order Volterra model.

We developed a numerical simulator in order to study the Super-RENS/ROM (Super REsolution Near-Field Structure, Read Only Memory) using 3-dimensional FDTD (finite difference time domain) method. The simulation can be performed by three steps. In the first step, we utilized the vector-diffraction theory to calculate the characteristics of incident laser beam from the object-lens to the surface of the disk. At the second step, we fed the calculated result as an input for the main FDTD simulations on the optical layers in the disk structure. After performed the FDTD simulations, we took near-to-far field transformation for the reflected signal, from the surface of the disk to the detector. Finally, we can get reflected signal at the photo-diode. Using this developed simulator, we were able to study about the reading signal from various disk structures as a function of a laser beam position. We calculated reading signals for various pit sizes for Super-ROM structure, and it is found that the simple optical diffraction theory can not explain the reading mechanism of Super-ROM, and more complicated temperature dependent physics must be involved.

Super-REsolution Near-field Structure (Super-RENS) 재생 현상을 모델링하고 재생 신호를 계산하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 약 2mW 내외의 높은 광 파워로 집광된 Spot 은 디스크 내의 상변화 물질인 GST 를 용융시키므로 집광 Spot 내에는 용융 영역과 비 용융 영역이 공존하게 되고 연속적 또는 불연속적인 경계를 이루게 된다. 이러한 열 효과로부터 기인하는 집광 Spot 내에서의 물질의 광학적 특성 변화와 변화 정도의 차이를 가정하였고 변화된 광학적 특성은 집광된 Spot 의 유효 크기를 줄어들게 함으로써 회절한계 이하의 정보를 재생 가능하게 한다. 계산은 FDTD 방법과 Scalar 방법을 병행하였다. FDTD 방법으로는 위와 같은 집광 Spot 내의 물질 굴절률 (n,k) 변화로부터 회절한계 이하의 정보가 재생 가능함과 CNR 문턱 현상을 확인하였고, Scalar 방법으로는 물질 굴절률을 직접 다루지 않고 굴절률 변화로부터 기인하는 광의 Amplitude 와 Phase 변화로부터 회절한계 이하의 정보가 재생 가능함을 확인하였다. 이 때 광의 Amplitude 와 Phase 변화를 모델링하기 위하여 지름, 위치, 반사율 변화량, 위상 변화량의 네가지 변수로 정의되는 광 마스크를 도입하였다. Scalar 방법을 이용하여 재생 RF 신호 등 다양한 Super-RENS 디스크의 신호를 계산 활용 할 수 있고 다음의 두가지 광학계에 대하여 계산과 실험으로 얻은 채널 특성 및 RF 신호를 비교하여 각각 오차평균 4.2%, 4.7%로 일치함을 확인하였다. 파장 659nm, NA=0.6, Min Pit Length=173nm ROM 디스크 System, 파장 405nm, NA=0.85 Min Mark Length=75nm WORM 디스크 System.

Super-resolution near-field structure (super-RENS) technology and solid immersion lens (SIL) based near-field (NF) technology have been expected as promising approaches to increase data capacity or areal density of optical disc. Super-RENS technology has been studied until now using mainly numerical aperture (NA) of 0.85 far-field optical system and possibility of tangential data density increment have been presented. NF technology has been studied with NA over 1 and presented demonstration of removable performance. To achieve much higher density, approach to increase NA of super-RENS by NF technology (Near-Field Super-Resolution, NFSR) can be a candidate and we think this technology would be advantageous compared to wavelength reduction or much higher NA increment of NF technology or much smaller effective optical spot size reduction of far-field super-resolution technology. In this paper we present readout result of ROM media having monotone pits using NF optical system with wavelength of 405nm and NA of 1.84 surface type SIL. GeSbTe material was used for super resolution active layer and pit length is 37.5nm which is shorter than resolution limit 55nm. We present the feasibility of NFSR technology by confirming the CNR threshold according to readout power (Pr) and CNR 33dB over threshold Pr.

To increase the high-density data storage, a new technique of Super-resolution near-field structure (Super-RENS) consisted of glass／SiN／Sb or AgOx／SiN has been proposed and investigated intensively as a promising structure for near-field ultrahigh-density optical storage. Hence it is important to determine the optical properties of AgOx by using ellipsometry. AgOx thin films were prepared by using magnetron sputtering technique while oxygen flow rate was varied, and the film growth of AgOx were monitored by using in situ ellipsometer. (omitted)
