Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make it possible to confine the recording information quantity of about 4 times the present recording information quantity to an optical recording medium of the same size as the present size without subjecting the device side to a drastic change, such as shortening of the wavelength of reproducing light, increasing of the numerical aperture NA of a focusing lens and changing of a signal demodulation system. CONSTITUTION:This optical recording medium is constituted by forming a saturable absorbent dyestuff-contg. layer 3 contg. at least a saturable absorbent dyestuff and arom. compd. and a recording layer and/or reflection layer 4 on a light transmissive substrate 1. The saturable absorbent dyestuff of which the molecule light absorption coefft. epsilon at the wavelength of reproducing light is >=10 and the relaxation time tau is 1ns
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce error rate at the time of recording and reproduction due to the peeling or falling of the edge part of a recording layer. CONSTITUTION:When a recording layer 3 capable of optical recording and/or reproduction of information and a protective layer 4 are formed on the top of a substrate 2 to obtain an optical recording medium, the recording layer 3 is formed on the top of the substrate 2 except the edge part 84 of the substrate 2. Since the edge part 84 of the substrate 2, that is, the part 90 not coated with a soln. for the recording layer is subjected to slitting, the edge part 84 of the recording layer 3 is prevented from cracking.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the light intensity of a laser beam required to form a recording mark. SOLUTION: A recording layer 101 of an optical information recording medium 100 contains a two-photon absorbing material. This two-photon absorbing material is a metal complex in which one or more molecules coordinate with a metal atom, and the material performs one-photon absorption of a recording light beam L1 by a change of state due to two-photon absorption upon irradiation with the recording light beam L1 which is recording light for information recording, and forms a recording mark by heat generation in response to the one-photon absorption.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical recording method and optical recording apparatus which form a recording mark of an appropriate shape at an appropriate location of a medium by using a mode locked laser. SOLUTION: A recording mark G of an appropriate shape (length in inside direction X and length in thickness direction Z of a recording surface are L1 and L2 respectively) is formed at an appropriate location of a recording medium 10 by irradiating a location (50-70 (nm) of Fig.4) of a recording medium 10 which is desired to be irradiated with a laser light of large intensity, with the laser light of large intensity, and irradiating locations (40-50 (nm) and 70-80 (nm) of FIg.4) of the recording medium 10 which is desired to be irradiated with a laser light of small intensity, with the laser light of small intensity, since the laser light is emitted at a predetermined time interval from the mode locked laser 2 (ST302), the amplitude of a pulse of an emitted laser light is modulated at a designated time interval by semiconductor optical amplifier 3 (ST303), and irradiates the rotating recording medium 10 (ST304).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical recording method and optical recording apparatus which form a recording mark in a medium with low optical power. SOLUTION: A minimum area g of a recording medium 10 is made an excitation state (or transitional state) wherein light absorption tends to occur by photo-reaction with a pulse of an ultrashort pulse laser light of low power that is the power of 1 kW. Heat reaction is caused in the recording medium 10 by irradiating with a CW (continuous wave) laser light during this excitation state (or transitional status) (for example, time of day t1-t2 in a Fig. 2), and a recording mark G (for example, void) of the desired length L1 in the length of an inside direction X of a recording surface of the recording medium 10 and the desired length L2 in the length of a thickness direction Z of the recording medium 10 is formed by low optical power.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new rewritable optical recording medium having a recording layer comprising an organic dye film and capable of reversibly recording/ erasing information by laser beam radiation. SOLUTION: The new rewritable optical information recording medium having as a recording film at least one layer of organic dye film comprising practically at least one kind of organic dye compound. Information is recorded and erased by reversible physical changes caused by laser beam irradiation on an organic dye film single element. Specifically, data are recorded by a local physical change by recording laser ray irradiation, data are reproduced by detecting the returned optical intensity change of a reproducing laser beam less powerful than a recording laser beam, and data are erased by at least one application of a continuous beam or a pulse beam more powerful than a recording laser beam and less powerful than the recording laser beam. A physical change involves a shape change. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
