Download or read book The Physics of Optical Recording written by Kurt Schwartz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optics and optical recording have a long history. Already in the ancient temples of Egypt and in Stonehenge, optical imaging was used in religious ceremonies. As early as the 17th century, optical instruments such as the telescope and the microscope played a crucial role in the development of the natural sciences, which, in turn, altered humanity's perception of itself and the universe. Nowadays, the science of optics is not only a means of gathering information but, also, of information transfer, analysis and processing. Our reliance on optical computing has become crucial since 1982, when compact discs (CD's) first became widely available. Optical memory discs, CD ROM (read-only memory), WORM (write-once-read many) and erasable read-write discs are now produced industrially. However, WORM and erasable discs comprise only a small field of optical imaging and information processing. Recent research into optical recording introduced new horizons for optical computing and real time information processing, such as, three-dimensiomil holographic memory, time-domain holography, nonlinear optical filtering, etc. The development of these unique possibilities is conceivable only with new recording materials and novel recording processes. For such progress, one should be familiar with the "pen and paper" of optical recording - the laser and the optical medium. Thus, this book will be a guide to novel applications of optical recording materials. The reader will find a description of the principles of optical recording and optical processing, which allow him to find novel applications for information storage and optical imaging.

This book is published to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of turbo codes invention by Claude Berrou Alain Glavieux and Punya Thitimajshima (1993-2003). As known for more than a decade, turbo code is the astonishing error control coding scheme which its perf- mance closes to the Shannon’s limit. It has been honored consequently as one of the seventeen great innovations during the ?rst ?fty years of information theory foundation. With the amazing performance compared to that of other existing codes, turbo codes have been adopted into many communication s- tems and incorporated with various modern industrial standards. Numerous research works have been reported from universities and advance companies worldwide. Evidently, it has successfully revolutionized the digital commu- cations. Turbo code and its successors have been applied in most communications startingfromthegroundorterrestrialsystemsofdatastorage,ADSLmodem, and ?ber optic communications. Subsequently, it moves up to the air channel applications by employing to wireless communication systems, and then ?ies up to the space by using in digital video broadcasting and satellite com- nications. Undoubtedly, with the excellent error correction potential, it has been selected to support data transmission in space exploring system as well.
