Near-field transducer based on nanoscale optical antenna has been shown to generate high transmission and strongly localized optical spots well below the diffraction limit. In this paper, nanoscale ridge aperture antenna is considered as near-field transducer for heat-assisted magnetic recording. The spot size and transmission efficiency produced by ridge aperture are numerically studied. We sh...

This paper presents a procedure developed to extract quantitative information from video recordings of neonatal seizures in the form of temporal motion velocity signals. These signals are obtained from the velocity fields computed for successive frames of the video recording by a variety of optical flow methods. The experimental results provide evidence that the motion velocity signals produced...

Fulgide is well-known as a thermally irreversible organic photochromic compound [1,2]. It is one of the important materials in the field of optical signal processing and optical storage. Focusing on the holographic storage applications of 3indoly-benzylfulgimide/PMMA film, in this chapter include the following themes. In section 2, first the Fulgide, photochroism and photo-induced anisotropy ar...
