Measurement of the thermal conductivity of erasable phase-change optical recording media.
We describe a method to estimate the thermal conductivity of the substrate, the dielectric layer, the phase-change (PC) layer, and the reflective layer of PC optical recording media. The method relies on the amorphous-to-crystalline phase transition that occurs in the PC layer […]

Stream cipher based on pseudorandom number generation with optical affine transformation.
We propose a new, to our knowledge, stream cipher technique for two-dimensional (2-D) image data that can be implemented by iterative optical transformation. The stream cipher uses a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) to generate a pseudorandom bit sequence. The proposed method for […]
