Optical Problems in an Information Read-Out System for the Magneto-Optical Disk

在基于磁光克尔效应的光盘存储技术中,磁光介质特性与光学头性能优劣直接影响到系统信噪比质量.不断优化光学系统特性来改善系统信噪比和提高系统的可靠性与稳定性一直是研究的课题.本文将只涉及磁光材料的磁光克尔效应.详细讨论磁光信息读取光学系统以及光学系统特性对系统信噪比的影响,包括差动法信号取出的噪声特性分析,然后给出优化措施.1 磁光信息读取原理图1为磁光盘信息读取光学系统简图.激光束A经分光棱镜BS后,由会聚物镜OB在光盘OD磁光介质上形成亚微米级光点,高速旋转的光盘信息经此光点扫描后,其克尔效应信息调制了反射光束,携带了数据信息的反射光束C再经物镜OB与分光棱镜BS后,出射光束D经λ/2波片后,出射光束E.E经检偏器件PBS后,出射光束O_1与O_2,O_1和O_2分别经光电二极管PD_1和PD_2后,产生电信号.此电信号经后继电子系统进行差分放大.这样便可检出磁光盘上所记录的信息.2

An expression for the signal-to-noise [ratio (SNR) of the differential method for the information detecting system has been derived, based on an analysis of a magneto-optical information read-out optical system using the Jones matrix approach. Some methods of improving the SNR quality by optimizing the beam splitting ratio and using a new type /2 wavelength plate are then suggested. This work is helpful to the design of a high performance magneto-optical disk drsk drive (MODD).
