An object is placed at a particular distance away from the nonreflecting side of a mirror, such that the gravitational force of the object affects the mirror. A laser is then pointed at the opposite, reflecting side of the mirror, thereby itself reflecting off the mirror and going back in to the cavity of the laser, creating a mode-hopping effect. The mirror will be affected by three forces, the force of a spring (F), the force of a modulating signal (F), created by an electro mechanical device attached to the mirror, and the gravitational force of objects as they approach and recede away from the mirror.

Specific density detector with electro mechanical actuator and improved mirror

An optical memory system employing multiple reading/writing optical beams from solid state lasers for simultaneously reading from a writing to multiple tracks of optical media to allow reading/writing of closely spaced adjacent tracks, a number a feature are disclosed. These include using vertical writing surface emitting lasers forming an array of beam sources, using lenslets associated with array, modulating the beams, and providing various optical elements and combinations of optical elements to compensate for beam and system imperfections.

Multiple beam optical memory system with solid-state lasers

An optical memory system employing multiple reading/writing optical beams for simultaneously reading from or writing to multiple tracks of optical media to allow reading/writing of closely spaced adjacent tracks. Various optical elements and other means are incorporated to enable the beams as a group to remain focused and properly tracking as the beams as a group scan across the tracks. Means are also provided for modulating the beams to reduce crosstalk. Various optical elements and combinations of optical elements are provided to compensate for beam and system imperfections.
