  • Patent number: 7394529
    Abstract: Provided is a fingerprint sensor using a microlens including the microlens changing a path of light reflected by a fingerprint structure, and an optical-TFT checking the fingerprint structure from the light whose path is changed. Since the microlens including the spherical lens to change the path of light is provided, the amount of light incident on the light measuring area can be maximized. Also, since the noise such as dispersed light is exhausted by the spherical lens outside the light measuring area, the effect by the noise can be minimized.

  • Patent number: 7379415
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a head for recording/reading optical data and method of manufacturing the same. The present invention completely buries an aperture with a material a third non-linear coefficient of which is great in order to induce self-focusing. Thus, the present invention can reduce the amount of beam by about one half wavelength and focus the beam in a parabolic shape having almost no optical loss. Therefore, the present invention can improve the transmissivity of the probe by several hundreds times compared to a conventional optical fiver probe, by effectively exciting a near-field scanning optical microscopy for the aperture at an end portion of the probe.

  • Publication number: 20040120246
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an information storage medium and an optical device for reproducing information recorded in the information storage medium. In the information storage medium, the initial phase of any cell in the information layer is a crystal phase or an amorphous phase, and either of the two phases is changed into the other phase by electronic heating. Since reflectivity to incident light is different in accordance with phase of the cell, information recorded on the medium may be reproduced by using the above property.

  • Publication number: 20030142597
    Abstract: A micro-integrated probe type head and an optical recording system using the same for recording/reading-out high-density optical information in a near field recording (NFR) manner are provided. The provided micro-integrated probe type head and the optical recording system using the same use a concept of a head that records/reproduces the information by focusing a beam to a probe through a wave guide, a microlens, and a micro-mirror, and by detecting a reflected beam. In this case, the probe is formed by a silicon process to have an aperture with a size of tens of nanometers. By driving the head in a disk actuation structure, high-density near-field optical information having a recording size of 50 to 100 nm is recorded/reproduced at a high speed in a manner of possibly using a conventional tracking technology of an optical disk drive (ODD) or a hard disk drive (HDD).
