We have been investigating a multilayer optical disk applicable to Blu-ray Disc (BD) standard using a photopolymer (2P) sheet in order to realize a recording capacity of 100 GB on a 12-cm-diameter disk. We had already developed a 2P sheet utilizing the multilayer disk. In this study, we developed a BD-type quad-layer disk using the 2P sheet, and investigated readout signals from each layer. The jitter values of layer 0 (L0), layer 1 (L1), layer 2 (L2) and layer 3 (L3) in the quad-layer disk were 6.5%, 7.1%, 7.3% and 6.6%, respectively. According to the analysis of the components of jitter values, the main factor behind the deterioration of jitter values is the crosstalk from adjacent layers. However, the jitter value of each layer was sufficient to reproduce the recorded data. From these results, we proved the feasibility of realizing the BD-type multilayer read-only-memory (ROM) disk with the recording capacity of 100 GB.
A large-area electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma is generated by using permanent magnets and applying the whistler-mode launching of microwaves. A uniform plasma is produced with the uniformity of ±3.5% over 20 cm and ±1.8% over 16 cm in diameter; the plasma space potential is about 17 V with the uniformity of ±1% over 20 cm. The maximum ion current density is about 11.5 mA·cm-2. The purity of the produced plasma is high. No damage was found after the operation for 100 h with the microwave power of 600 W.
We studied the feasibility of fabricating a disk replica at a recording capacity of 25 Gbytes by a conventional injection molding process. This work is the first attempt at fabricating a disk replica using a stamper recorded by an electron beam recorder. The bottom jitter value of the injection-molded disk was 9.3% when using a conventional equalizer and 6.5% when using an additional limit equalizer. These values were highly similar to those of the photo-polymer (2P) disk. The residual error on the axial tracking of the injection-molded disks was smaller than that of the 2P disk, and the residual error on the radial tracking was almost the same as that of the 2P disk.
The irreducible Hamiltonian BRST symmetry for p-form gauge theories with Stueckelberg coupling is derived. The cornerstone of our approach is represented by the construction of an irreducible theory that is equivalent from the point of view of the BRST formalism with the original system. The equivalence makes permissible the substitution of the BRST quantization of the reducible model by that of the irreducible theory. Our procedure maintains the Lorentz covariance of the irreducible path integral.
