Simplified diffraction theory of the video disk

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A simplified model is presented to describe the process of optically reading out a video disk. Although limited in versatility and accuracy, the model has the distinct advantage of not requiring computer solutions and of providing a direct physical insight into the diffraction mechanism of video disk readout. The model is semiquantitative in that predictions are in reasonable numerical agreement with more detailed methods of analysis and with experiments.
