SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING OPTICAL FIBERS IN A DATA STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

摘要

An optical system and method for transmission of light between a RF modulated source of light and a magneto-optical storage location along an optical path including: orthogonally aligned first and second single-mode polarization maintaining optical fibers, a flying magneto-optical head, and a quarter-wave plate positioned on the flying magneto-optical head.
