In a multilayer optical recording medium, it is an object to suppress generation of crosstalk while reducing an interlayer distance of recording and reading layers. In an optical recording medium including three or more recording and reading layers, a first distance, and a second distance greater than the first distance by 3 μm or more are alternately defined as interlayer distances of recording and reading layers.

An optical recording medium including recording and reading layers and a servo layer increases the recording capacity thereof. In the optical recording medium including the plurality of recording and reading layers and the servo layer, the servo layer has a groove and a land that can be used to perform tracking control with a long-wavelength servo beam. Information is recorded on the recording and reading layers with a recording and reading beam having a wavelength shorter than the wavelength of the servo beam. Recording marks are formed on the recording and reading layers while both the groove and land are tracked.

A rewritable phase-change optical recording medium is provided, which includes a substrate, a first information layer, a spacer layer, a second information layer, and a cover layer. The second information layer includes a recording film containing Sb as a main component and V or V and In as second components. When an amorphous mark formed in the recording film is irradiated with a reproduction beam, crystallization of the amorphous mark occurs only in a central portion in the width direction of the amorphous mark. The width direction is orthogonal to the scanning direction of the laser beam. The recording film is formed of a material that exhibits a change in degree of modulation of 5% or less when recorded information is repeatedly reproduced. The change in degree of modulation is a change from when the number of times of reproduction is 100,000 to when it is 400,000.

A conventional mechanical precision measuring device is used effectively in the measurement of the eccentricity of a high density optical disc. A DVR optical disc 2 comprises a pattern 4 of fine depressions and protrusions conformed to the intended format of the disc (a first depressions and protrusions: pits and/or grooves) formed within an information recording area 6 of the disc, as well as a pattern 8 of fine depressions and protrusions for measuring the eccentricity (a second depressions and protrusions), which is formed in an area other than the information recording area 6, and is formed in accordance with a CD format having lower recording density than that of the format defined for the DVR optical disc 2. By using this pattern 8 of fine depressions and protrusions for mechanical detection, conventional mechanical precision measuring devices designed for the CD family can be used as it is, for measuring the eccentricity (mechanical precision) of the DVR optical disc 2.

An optical recording medium and a recording system for the same are provided, which can dissipate heat produced by a laser beam during recording operations to thereby increase the erasing power margin of the laser beam which allows the playback jitter value to take on a certain value or less.A recording system 1 includes an optical recording medium 10 and an optical recording apparatus 30. The optical recording medium 10 has a reflective film 16, a second dielectric layer 18, a recording layer 20, a heat sink layer 24, and a light-transmitting layer 26, which are formed on a support substrate 12. The heat sink layer 24 is made of a material having a certain range of thermal conductivity, e.g., alumina. The optical recording apparatus 30 allows a laser beam of 450 nm or less in wavelength to be incident from the light-transmitting layer 26 via a lens system having an objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.7 or more. The optical recording medium 10 dissipates heat produced by the laser beam through the heat sink layer 24 to thereby prevent an increase in temperature of the recording layer 20, such that the relation between the recording power Pw of the laser beam and the erasing power Pe satisfies 0.7≦Pe/Pw≦1.0.

An optical information medium includes a disk-shaped substrate (100) having a center hole (101), an annular information recording area thereon, and an annular resin-based light-transmitting layer (102) thereon by which recording/reading laser beam is transmitted to the information recording area. The light-transmitting layer (102) terminates at a radially inner periphery which forms an annular raised rim (6). The rim is effective for protecting the light-transmitting layer from damages and dust adhesion, and when a plurality of such media are stacked, preventing the media from intimate contact.

摘要:
A method is provided for preparing an optical information medium comprising a disk-shaped supporting substrate having a center hole, an annular information recording area thereon, and an annular resin-based light-transmitting layer on the information recording area through which recording/reading laser beam is transmitted. In the formation of the light-transmitting layer, a coating fluid containing an actinic radiation-curable resin is fed onto the supporting substrate having the information-recording area formed thereon and the supporting substrate is rotated for spreading the coating fluid over the supporting substrate to thereby form a resin layer, and subsequently, the resin layer is irradiated with actinic radiation to thereby cure said resin layer while reducing the rotation speed of the supporting substrate. This method is capable of suppressing the size of the bump formed in the outer peripheral region of the light-transmitting layer.
