Abstract:
In an optical disk (100), a substrate (101) has main data recorded in the form of a combination of pits and lands on one side thereof, and at least a reflective layer (102) and cover layer (103) are stacked on the substrate to cover the pits and lands on the substrate (101). To the optical disk (100), sub data is recorded in the form of marks formed by irradiating writing-power laser light to the reflective layer (102). The marks are formed so that reading signal level will be raised where the marks are formed while it will be lowered where the marks are formed in a counterfeit disk produced based on an authenticated disk, namely, the reading signal level where the marks are formed is different in polarity between in the authenticated and counterfeit disks. Further, in a player for the optical disk (100), discrimination is made between the authenticated and counterfeit disks by detecting the sub data recorded in the optical disk and judging whether the value of the detected sub data has been read at a correct polarity.

Abstract:
A magneto-optical recording medium comprising a light-transmitting substrate 1 on which a dielectric layer 2, a memory layer 3 having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, an intermediate layer 4 having in-plane magnetic anisotropy or slight perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, a recording layer 5 having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, a dielectric layer 6, a metal layer 7, and a protective layer 8 are formed in a stacked form, the recording medium adapted to be magnetized for recording by a process comprising the step of modulating a first thermal condition and a second thermal condition according to a recording signal, wherein a stacked film 9 composed of the memory layer 3, the intermediate layer 4 and the recording layer 5 has a total thickness of from 1000 to 1500 .ANG., the dielectric layer 6 has a thickness of from 500 to 1500 .ANG., and the metal layer 7 has a thickness of from 250 to 1500 .ANG.. The magneto-optical recording medium permits a recording laser light to be used with an increased power margin, without causing any increase in the laser power level. Where the thickness of the memory layer is set in the range from 20 to 70 nm, an enhanced reproduction signal output is obtained.
Abstract:
Main data is recorded by a combination of pits and lands on one side of a substrate (101) of an optical disc (100). A reflection film (102) and a cover layer (103) are layered to cover the surface where the pits and lands are formed on the substrate. Sub data is recorded by a mark formed by irradiation of a laser beam to the reflection film by recording power. In a forged disc produced according to a valid optical disc in which a reproduction signal level at the portion having a mark increases, a mark recording is performed so that the reproduction signal level at the portion having the mark is lowered and the polarity of the reproduction signal at the portion having the mark is different between the valid disc and the forged disc. Furthermore, sub data recorded on the optical disc is detected by the reproduction device and it is judged whether the detected sub data has a value reproduced with a valid polarity, thereby judging whether the disc is a valid one or a forged one.
Abstract:
A substrate is deformed into a raised shape by irradiating an optical disc recording medium with a laser beam at a prescribed laser power. As the substrate is deformed into the raised shape, a reflecting film laminated on the substrate is also deformed into the raised shape, and a reproduction signal level equivalent to that of a land portion can be obtained at a pit portion by the embodiment of the raised deformation. A reproduction signal level equivalent to that of the pit portion can be obtained at the land. At this time, since the raised deformation embodiment can be controlled by the power of the laser beam applied, the pit can be made into land and the land can be made into pit by setting the laser power. Thus, recording data can be rewritten in the optical disc recording medium wherein data is recorded by the combination of the pits and lands formed on the substrate.
