OF THE DISSERTATION Coding and Capacities for Multidimensional Constraints by Zsigmond Nagy Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering (Communication Theory and Systems) University of California, San Diego, 2002 Professor Kenneth Zeger, Chair A one-dimensional binary sequence satisfies the (d; k) run length constraint if the number of consecutive 0s is at most k, and between any two 1s in t...

Recent advances in our high-speed analog liquid crystal spatial light modulators (SLMs) will be presented. These advancements include higher pixel density, smaller pixel pitch, greatly improved optical efficiency, and higher speed operation. The new VLSI SLMs can utilize ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) or nematic liquid crystal (NLC) to achieve phase-only, amplitude-only and phase-amplitude-...

Abdolhosein Moinian Lina Fagoonee Bahram Honary Lancaster University Department of Communication Systems Lancaster LA1 4YR, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A symbol detection scheme based on the Viterbi algorithm that simultaneously processes subsets of 2-D data in the presence of Gaussian noise was recently proposed for binary 2-D optical storage TwoDOS . In the case...

15 Designing an optical data storage system involves both macroscopic components, such as lenses, filters, and polarizers, which are typically tens of thousands of wavelengths in size, as well as subwavelength-size data elements, gratings, nearfield antennas, and microcavities. Research and development of new approaches for high-density optical-disk data storage often requires detailed simulati...

The demand for energy efficient data storage technologies with high capacity and long life span is increasingly growing due to the explosion of digital information in modern society. Here, a 5D optical ultralong lifetime realized by femtosecond-laser-induced anisotropic nanopore structures (type X modification) silica glass. ultrahigh transmission this birefringent modification, >99% visible ra...
