A multi-layer structure whose volume changes when a temperature exceeds a predetermined threshold value, a microscopic structure drawing method that involves emitting a laser beam onto the multi-layer structure to create a temperature distribution within a beam spot and performing microscopic recording on a portion of the beam spot having a temperature higher than the threshold value, an optical disc master, and a mastering method using the same, where the multi-layer structure includes a substrate and a transformation layer formed on the substrate, wherein a volume of a portion of the transformation layer irradiated by a laser beam changes when the temperature of the portion exceeds a predetermined temperature. The microscopic structure drawing method includes emitting the laser beam onto a predetermined region of the transformation layer and heating the region of the transformation layer irradiated by the laser beam beyond a predetermined temperature so that the heated region can undergo a volume change.

摘要:
An optical disk primarily includes a recording layer and a viscosity-variable material layer. When a laser beam is irradiated to reproduce a record written on the recording layer, part of the crystalline thin layer of the viscosity-variable material layer is softened to vary the optical constant of the softened region. Consequently, a plane having discontinuous optical constants is produced at the boundary between the softened region and the other region, so that a ring-shaped specific region is produced in a light spot. The ring-shaped specific region allows record patterns smaller than or equal to the resolution limit to be reproduced with the same signal intensity as that of the other record patterns larger than the resolution limit.

A super-resolution information recording medium, a recording/reproducing apparatus, and a recording/reproducing method uses an information recording medium provides a super-resolution effect by fluid bubbles. The fluid bubbles are formed in at least a portion of the medium by a light beam radiated to reproduce a signal from the information recording medium. Accordingly, the super-resolution information recording medium has improved optical characteristics, so that better recording/reproduction is possible.

A simple-structured recording medium without a mask layer and information recording and reproducing methods, which resolve thermal stability related problems arising during reproduction, the recording medium including a high melting point recording layer between first and second dielectric layers. The method of recording information on the recording medium involves irradiating a laser beam onto the recording medium to induce reaction and diffusion in the high melting point recording layer and the first and second dielectric layers. The method of reproducing information recorded on such a super-resolution near-field recording medium by the above method involves generating plasmon using crystalline particles of the high melting point recording layer and the first and second dielectric layers as a scatter source to reproduce information regardless of a diffraction limit of a laser used.
