Abstract
We describe 3-dimensional numerical simulations (performed using a
finite-difference-time-domain modeling tool) of the readout of very
small marks recorded on the data surface of an optical storage medium
that incorporates a super resolution (SR) structure comprised of two
dielectric thin films which encapsulate a thin AgOx
film. We study how different types of light scattering objects, which
are dynamically formed in the SR structure during readout of the
recorded data surface, affect the characteristics of the reflected
optical power modulation.
