Title: Convergent device, optical head, optical information recording/reproducing and optical information recording/reproducing method
Inventor: MIZUNO SADAO
IPC: G11B7/135
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: An optical head comprises a light source generating light beams of two wavelengths. A converging element comprises a central region having numerical aperture NA1 and an outer region having numerical aperture between NA1 and NA2. The outer and central regions decrease aberration when light is converged through a transparent flat plate of thickness t1, and between t2 and 0.7 * t2, respectively. An optical system converges the first wavelength light beam through the converging element onto an information plane of an optical information recording medium of thickness t1, and converges the second wavelength light beam onto an information plane of an optical information recording medium of thickness t2 larger than t1. An optical element prevents reflection of the first wavelength light in a ring region corresponding to numerical aperture of the converging element between NA1 and 0.7 * NA1.

IPC: H04N19/89
Filed: 2003-04-09
Abstract: An apparatus and method for the detection of errors in compressed digital image is disclosed (Fig.2). In one embodiment, a signature is generated using a multiple input shift register and added to the compressed information (210).  The signature is verified at the decoder to detect an error in the compressed information. Other information such as the frame number and/or color component type of the compressed image can also be verified to detect errors in the compressed information. In other embodiments, the decoder detects errors if there are bits remaining after decompression and/or if there are invalid codes at decompression (215). Once an error is detected, the compressed information can be discarded or re-sent and processed. Therefore, the detection of errors can significantly enhance at least the reliance of systems such as digital cinema that require compression of large amounts of data.

Title: Distributed bragg reflector for optoelectronic device

IPC: H01S5/42
Filed: 2003-10-24
Abstract: An oxide-confined VCSELs(100) having a distributed Bragg reflector (180, 238 ) with a heavily doped high Al content oxide aperture forming layer (190, 140) disposed between a low Al content first layer (192, 142) and a medium Al content second layer (194, 144). Between the first layer and the oxide aperture forming layer there may be a thin transition region (196, 146) wherein the Al content changes from a higher Al content to a lower Al conten t. In some embodiments, the Al concentration from the oxide aperture forming layer (190, 140) to the second layer (194, 144) may occur in a step. The oxi de aperture forming layer (190, 140) may be disposed at or near a null or a nod e (y) of the electric field produced by resonant laser light. During the oxidization of the oxide aperture forming layer, all or some of the other aluminum bearing DBR layers (180) may also become oxidized, but to a substantially lesser degree. The junction (214) between the oxidized portion (212) and un-oxidized portion of these layers is believed to reduce the stability and/or reliability of the device. To alleviate this, the present invention contemplates providing an implant (218), etch or other suitable process to reduce or eliminate one or more electrical artifacts associated with the junction between the oxidized portion (212) and un-oxidized portion of these layers (180) as well as reducing the oxidation of other aluminum bearing layers of the DBR (180).
