摘要:
In order to stably carry out reproduction of information in an optical disc medium (10) using a PRML (partial-response maximum-likelihood) method for reproducing the signal, the optical disc medium (10) has not only a data recording area (14) where data is recorded at high density but also a system information recording area (16) where information is recorded at low density and binary equalizing/reproducing can be easily made. Information required to circuit setting is recorded in the system information recording area.
摘要:
A phase change type optical disk includes a transparent substrate (1), a recording layer (3), a first transparent protection layer (4), a reflective layer (5), and a transparent interference layer (6). The recording layer (3) is formed above the transparent substrate (1) to cause a reversible phase change between a crystalline state and an amorphous state. The recording layer (3) causes a phase change upon being irradiated with a laser beam, thereby recording, reproducing, and erasing information. The first transparent protection layer (4) is formed on the recording layer (3) to protect the recording layer. The reflective layer (5) is formed above the recording layer to reflect light transmitted through the recording layer and causes the reflected light to be incident on the recording layer. The transparent interference layer (6) is formed between the first protection layer (4) and the reflective layer (5) to cause light beams reflected by the reflective layer to optically interfere with each other. Light transmitted through the recording layer is multiple-reflected between the reflective layer and an interface between the interference layer and the first protection layer.
摘要:
In an optical data recording media provided with a recording layer which changes its optical characteristics by the difference of heat history of heating and cooling by the irradiation of the laser light to a transparent substrate on which tracking channels have been formed, the width of extruded or concave region formed by the tracking channels on the substrate is narrower than the diameter of the laser beam being used for recording, erasing and reading. Thereby, problem which is associated with the recording frequency-dependent erasing efficiency in case the pulse width modulation method is used as the modulation method, can be dissolved.
