摘要:
Described is an optical data storage system which comprises a multiple data surface medium (12) and optical head. The medium comprises a plurality of substrates (50,56,62,68) separated by a light transmissive medium. Data surfaces are located on the substrate surfaces which lie adjacent a light transmissive medium. The data surfaces are substantially light transmissive. At least one of the data surfaces includes information identifying the type of tracking marks contained in at least one data surface.

A magneto-optical recording medium of domain wall motion detection type in the form of groove recording for recording a signal in a signal recording area within a groove formed along a recording track. The radius of curvature R1 of the shoulder portion, adjacent to a groove, of the land between grooves in the cross section taken perpendicularly to the recording track is 30 nm or less, and the radius of curvature R2 of the inner edge portion, adjacent to the land, of the groove where a signal is recorded in the cross section taken perpendicularly to the recording track is 20 nm or more. The recording power margin is increased, the jitter is improved, and the error rate is also improved.
摘要:
An optical recording medium which has a spiral track or concentric tracks and on which data is optically recorded. A data recording/reproducing area of the optical recording medium is radially divided into zones. Each zone is divided into sectors each having an address portion including a pit having address information and a data portion composed of only grooves. The numbers of sectors of the zones are different from one another. The relation between the average reflectance Iadd of the address portion and the average reflectance Idata of the data portion is given by 0.7 ≤ (Iadd/Idata) ≤ 1.3 or given by 0.8 ≤ (Iadd/Idata) ≤ 1.2.

Let w1 be the width of the land at the center height of the boundary between each land and each group, w2 be the width of the flat top of the land, and d be the depth of each group, then 0.4
摘要:
An optical disk capable of recording preformatted data at high density. An optical disk having one or a plurality of tracks arranged spirally or concentrically, wherein the tracks have controlling first pre-pit areas or groove portions and between-groove portions and also have preformatted data recording areas for recording preformatted data, and the preformatted data recording areas have recorded preformatted data formed by methods other than pre-pits. More specifically, preformatted data is recorded by degenerating the recording film of the optical disk by the irradiation of a laser beam until magnetic anisotropy is smaller.
摘要:
Recording density is improved by performing anneal processing on an optical storage medium (4). Anneal management information (40) is recorded in the optical storage medium (4) without performing anneal processing, and is provided to a user. Anneal processing is performed and high density recording and reproducing is enabled by the effect of annealing on an area between recording tracks based on the choice of the user. Since initialization processing (anneal processing) by a storage medium manufacturer can be omitted, the medium can be provided at low price. Also a deep groove medium need not be used because of the effect of annealing, thereby the manufacturing of a substrate used for a medium is easy. It is preferable that advertisement information is recorded in a pit section (4-1) as content information, so that the content can be reproduced automatically during anneal processing, and the medium price can be reduced due to advertisement fees.
摘要:
There are provided an information recording medium which permits accurate tracking servo, and a method for recording and reproducing for an information recording medium which allows recording and reproducing of a signal at a favorable S/N by carrying out at least one of information recording and information reproduction while accurately performing tracking servo. A magneto-optic disk (10) includes a magnetic recording layer (16) for magnetically recording information. The magnetic recording layer is in advance magnetized for concentrically or spirally around the center of the disk in such a manner that magnetized regions (16A,16B) are disposed such that adjacent regions are magnetized in different directions and alternately arranged in the radial direction of the disk. Accordingly, tracking can be continuously performed and accurate tracking servo can also be performed.
摘要:
With a magnetic recording medium, servo pits have to be recorded one disk at a time, which is a problem in that it takes more time and is more expensive. In view of this, with the present invention, at least one signal region whose surface roughness is different from that of other than the signal region is formed on the substrate of a magnetic recording medium comprising a recording layer on a substrate, or on an under layer formed on a substrate.
