Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize tracking control of a SR disk, by using a simple optical system and to suppress power consumption. SOLUTION: The optical disk (SR disk) 11 made of a material layer is reproduced, which varies its reflection factor according to the temperature on a transparent substrate provided with phase pits. The reflected light from a laser spot on the recording surface of an optical disk 11 is made incident to a quadripartite detector 20 through PBS15 and a cylindrical lens 18, and information signals are obtained from its output. Moreover, error signals Et, Ef are generated from each photosensor output of the detector 20, and the tracking servo by a push-pull method and the focus servo by a astigmatic method are carried out. This allows a side spot, using a diffraction grating etc. which need not be formed and optical system to be simplified, and allows power consumption to be held low. Moreover, since the reflected light from a main spot is utilized, tracking control can be carried out, when a rear aperture detection (RAD) type SR disk with a low initial reflection factor is reproduced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical disk for verification that is writable only once by laminating plural information recording layers and optical transmission layers with a specific thickness with a transparent intermediate layer between them on a substrate with a specific thickness where guide grooves with a ruggedness pattern are formed and making an information recording layer being the farthest from a support substrate an information recording layer that is writable only once due to a phase change material film. SOLUTION: Plural information recording layers 3 and 4 with a transparent intermediate layer 5 between them are laminated on a 0.3 to 1.2 mm thick support substrate 2 where guide grooves with a ruggedness pattern are formed, and a 10 to 177 μm thick optical transmission layer 6 is laminated on them. The information recording layer 4 is an information recording layer that is writable only one time due to a phase change material film using phase change material. When the phase change material is applied for the layer 4, sufficient light quantity can be supplied even to the information recoding layer 3 of a lower layer side owing to the setting of an optical characteristic, and also when laser beams are converged on the layer 4, the laser beams can be reflected with sufficient contrast.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a recording medium rewritable and recordable in a high density by laminating information recording layers consisting of phase transition materials made arranging enhancement films and crystallization acceleration films, forming reflection film only on the information recording layers on the extreme supporting substrate side and selecting the film materials constituting the respective information recording layers. SOLUTION: An optical disk 1 is constituted by laminating the information recording layers 3 and 4 holding an intermediate layer 5 in-between on the supporting substrate 2, then forming a light transparent layer 6 thereon. The information recording layers 3 on the supporting substrate 2 side are formed by laminating reflections 3A to semi- transparent enhancement films 3G successively from the supporting substrate 2 side. The information recording layers 4 are formed to the same structure as the structure of the information recording layers 3 by omitting the reflection films and the antitransparent enhancement films 3G. At this time, the second and first crystallization acceleration layers 3C, 3E are formed by using the materials containing one kind of the nitrides or oxides of any of Si, Ge, Sn, etc. As a result, the non-crystallized regions of the phase transition material films 3D can be easily crystallized even when the linear speed is increased by reducing the diameter of a beam spot.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase recording density in three-dimensional directions and to ensure a larger capacity. SOLUTION: Two or more information recording layers 4, 6 are laminated on a substrate 2 having 0.3-1.2 mm thickness by way of a transparent layer 5 to form a recording part and the objective multilayered optical disk 1 is obtained. A light transmissive protective layer 7 having 10-177 μm thickness is formed on the recording part and an information signal is recorded and reproduced by irradiation with light from the protective layer side. One of the two or more information recording layers other than the information recording layer formed at a position remotest from the light transmissive protective layer uses a phase change material as a recording material. The refractive index nc1 and extinction coefficient kc1 of the phase change material in the crystalline state and the refractive index na1 and extinction coefficient ka1 of the phase change material in the amorphous state satisfy the relations of (nc1/na1)
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a crosstalk cancellation by controlling an absorptivity by one recording film. SOLUTION: A recording film 3 of the optical recording medium having the film 3 formed on a base plate 1 having a guide groove 2 is formed of a mixture of a metal and a dielectric. When a recording pulse is illuminated to the film 3, the metal is reacted with the dielectric, and hence an oxide is, for example, formed. And, since the oxide has a higher light transmittance than that of the metal, the film 3 is made of the mixture of the metal and the oxide. Thus, the light transmittance, reflectivity of the film can be easily controlled.
