Description

Window, medium and optical method

The present invention relates to a field of optical technology, in particular to a window, medium and optical method.

Light has a wide range of applications in energy, electronics, communications, medical care, etc., especially in the fields of information reading and writing, semiconductor manufacturing, information transmission, and optical microscopy. The area where light acts on the target is as small as possible. Due to the diffraction limit of light, the size of the area where light acts on the target cannot break through the limitation of the diffraction limit. Therefore, the development of optical technology has been greatly hindered.

In the prior art, there is a new dual-beam super-resolution technology, which uses an excitation beam to initiate photopolymerization on a target. A suppression beam with a hollow focal point suppresses the polymerization reaction in the overlapping area of the excitation beam and the suppression beam. The polymerization reaction is limited to the focal center of the hollow part to achieve the purpose of reducing the size of the light action area on the target, which breaks the limitation of the diffraction limit of a single beam.

However, in the existing dual-beam super-resolution technology, because it requires both beams of light to interact with the substance, the traditional photoresist, initiator and other materials used in single-beam processing can no longer meet the requirements of dual-beam super-resolution lithography. Looking for alternative materials that can work on both beams and can realize the function of light action, the material requirements are high, and it is difficult.

Example 6

This embodiment provides an optical storage method for reading and writing information on the optical storage medium of the third embodiment, including the optical method of the fourth embodiment.

When performing an information writing operation, hollow light and solid light act on the window 11 of the optical storage medium, and have an effect on the light absorption controllable interconverting molecules in the window 11. The light absorption controllable interconversion molecule under the irradiation area of the first light zone 31 is in the absorption state of absorbing the photon energy of the second light. Since the hollow light is stronger than the solid light in the overlapping part of the hollow light and the solid light, it ensures Under the irradiation area of the hollow light, the light-absorbing controllable interconverting molecules are always in a state that can absorb the photon energy of the solid light, forming a closed window state that blocks the first light, so that the first light cannot reach the light sensitive part 12. In this embodiment, the closed window state means that the window 11 is irradiated with excitation light to make the window 11 opaque to the excitation light of a certain wavelength, so that the light of this wavelength cannot pass through the window 11, and can limit the effect on the light sensitive part 12. The spot size of the excitation light.

Since the central hollow area of the hollow light does not have the photon effect of the hollow light, the central hollow area of the first light zone 31 cannot absorb the second light, forming an open window state that does not absorb the second light. The second light acts on the light sensitive through the window 11 The part 12 activates the light-sensitive recording component in the light-sensitive part 12, absorbs the photon energy of the second light, and generates a light recording spot. The activated light-sensitive recording component can emit fluorescence under the action of excitation light of another wavelength during reading, and both the excitation light and the emitted fluorescence can pass through the window 11 to realize the writing and reading of information. In this embodiment, the open window state means that the window 11 is irradiated with excitation light to make the window 11 transparent to excitation light of a certain wavelength, so that the light of this wavelength can pass through the window 11 to act on the light sensitive part 12 and perform information Write or read.

In this embodiment, the optical storage method includes two implementation methods:

The first type is to receive the irradiation of the first light to inhibit the generation of molecules of the second configuration in the irradiation area of the first light zone 31, and the central hollow area of the first light zone 31 has no inhibitory effect;

Receiving the irradiation of the second light, the molecules of the first configuration in the window 11 continue to absorb the second light in the overlapping area with the first light, preventing the second light from penetrating through the window 11, which is hollow in the center of the first light zone 31 In the region, the second light region 32 converts the molecules of the first configuration in the window 11 into molecules of the second configuration, and then acts on the photosensitive part 12 through the window 11.

The second type is to receive the irradiation of the first light. In the irradiation area of the first light zone 31, the molecules of the second configuration in the window 11 continue to absorb the first light, and then they are converted into molecules of the first configuration. The window 11 in the central hollow area of 31 is still a molecule of the second configuration;

Upon receiving the irradiation of the second light, the molecules of the first configuration in the window 11 continue to absorb the second light in the region overlapping with the first light, thereby inhibiting the second light from penetrating the window 11. In the central hollow area of the first light zone 31, the second light can pass through the molecules of the second configuration in the window 11 to act on the light sensitive part 12. The light-sensitive recording component in the light-sensitive part 12 is only sensitive to the second light, and generates signal points that can be stably recorded after absorbing the photon energy of the second light.

Take the first optical storage method as an example, when the optical storage medium is a single-layer double-sided reading medium:

The optical storage medium is composed of a window 11 and a light sensitive part 12. The material of the window 11 is 1,2-bis(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-dithienyl) hexafluorocyclopentene, which is light sensitive The part 12 material is 4,4'bis(diphenylamino-trans-styryl)biphenyl. Window 11 is a kind of molecular switch material, which is stored in an open-loop form. The open-ring structure will be transformed into the isomer of the closed-ring structure after absorbing 325nm light; the closed-ring structure will be transformed into the isomer of the open-ring structure after absorbing 633nm light.
