Abstract
(EN)
The present invention provides a near field optical scanning device and in particular a method of bringing a lens (24) of a near field optical scanning device from a remote position to a near field position (23) relative to the surface of a record carrier (11). The invention makes preferably use of image processing of aperture pupil images indicating the size of a gap between a Solid Immersion Lens (SIL) and the surface of the record carrier. Image analysis of the aperture pupil image allows to derive a control signal for an approach procedure for air gap distances in a range of micrometers. This allows for a fast, efficient, accurate and reliable approach procedure making use of varying velocities of a head movement. Moreover the invention allows to make use of a detection scheme for interference fringes evolving in the aperture pupil image that principally allow to alternatively generate a control signal for the approach procedure and to reduce image analysis to an analysis of the intensity of the a section of the aperture pupil image.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de balayage optique à champ proche et en particulier un procédé pour amener un objectif (24) d'un dispositif de balayage optique à champ proche d'une position éloignée à une position de champ proche (23) par rapport à la surface d'un support d'enregistrement (11). Cette invention met de préférence en oeuvre un traitement d'images de pupille d'ouverture indiquant la taille d'un interstice entre une lentille à immersion solide (SIL) et la surface du support d'enregistrement. L'analyse de l'image de pupille d'ouverture permet de dériver un signal de commande pour une procédure d'approche concernant des distances d'interstice d'air dans le domaine du micromètre. On obtient ainsi une procédure d'approche rapide, efficace, précise et fiable qui met en oeuvre des vitesses variables d'un mouvement de tête. De plus, cette invention permet d'utiliser un schéma de détection pour des franges d'interférence développées dans l'image de pupille d'ouverture, qui permettent principalement de produire de manière alternative un signal de commande pour la procédure d'approche et de réduire l'analyse d'image à une analyse de l'intensité d'une section de l'image de pupille d'ouverture.
