The medium includes a substrate, a first recording stack L0, including a recording layer, the first recording stack L0 having an optical reflection value RL0 and an optical absorption value AL0 at the wavelength λ, and a second recording stack L1 including a recording layer, the second recording stack L1 having an optical reflection value RL1 and an optical absorption value AL1 at the wavelength λ, and a transparent spacer layer between the recording stacks. The second stack is closer to the entrance face than the first stack. By fulfilling the formula AL1≦1−Rmin−√(Rmin/RL0), where Rmin is the minimum effective optical reflection value for each recording stack, full compatibility is achieved with a read only version of the medium.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a recording apparatus, record carrier and method of recording data on at least two layers of a recording medium by using a radiation power, wherein individual recording speeds are determined for respective ones of the at least two layers at different values of the radiation power. A recording speed to be used for recording on an individual one of the at least two recording layers is selected based on a maximum radiation power specified for the recording operation, and the speed of the recording operation is controlled individually for each of the at least two layers based on the selected recording speed. The determination of the individual recording speeds at different radiation power values may be written or embossed on the record carrier. Furthermore, a recording sequence used for recording on the recording layers can be set based on the sensitivities and thus recording speeds. Thereby, total recording time can be minimized for multi-layer recording media.
