Paper Abstract

A compact and light weight optical tracking sensor for a large capacity flexible disk drive is demonstrated. The size of the optical element is no larger than 5.4 mm in length X 3.6 mm in width X 1.2 mm in height and the weight is only 18 mg. The application of the planar optical technique makes it possible to integrate all passive optical elements onto one transparent substrate. These features are useful for high- speed access, easy optical alignment, mass production, and miniaturization. The design and optical characteristics of the optical tracking sensor are described.
