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:
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:
Disclosed is an optical recording medium, including three or more information recording layers, characterized in that the refractive indices of a plurality of intermediate layers each disposed between an adjacent pair of the information recording layers are larger than that of a cover layer disposed between an incident surface and the information recording layer that is the closest to the incident surface. With this, crosstalk caused by light beams reflected from multiple surfaces is reduced and thereby the signal quality is improved in the optical recording medium including the three or more information recording layers.
