A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11922983B2) discloses a data read/write apparatus that includes a first laser, dispersion compensator, and optical fiber lens for writing data to an optical storage medium. The first laser outputs an optical pulse based on a control signal obtained from the data to be written, which is then compensated for dispersion by the dispersion compensator to produce a second optical pulse. The optical fiber lens focuses this pulse onto the storage medium, facilitating data writing. The apparatus further includes a second laser, optical fiber coupler, and detector for reading data from the storage medium based on fluorescent signals generated by the medium in response to the laser light.

Additionally, the patent describes various configurations and components of the data read/write apparatus, such as isolators to prevent interference, band-pass filters for signal filtering, and piezoelectric actuators for adjusting the position of optical fiber lenses. The apparatus can utilize different types of lasers, dispersion compensators, and optical fiber lenses to optimize the data reading and writing processes. The wavelength ranges of the laser light and fluorescent signals are specified, and the apparatus can be scaled up to handle multiple channels of data simultaneously, enhancing its efficiency and versatility in data storage applications.
