    Abstract: An optical data storage system and method comprising a photopolymer medium having generally a polymerizable monomer, an active binder, a first, hologram recording polymerization initiator, and a second, data writing polymerization initiator. The monomer is preferably a cationic ring-opening monomer. The hologram recording polymerization initiator preferably comprises a sensitizer and photoacid generator which initiate a first polymerization in the medium which defines a format hologram. The format hologram recording is carried out via interference of a signal and reference beam, with the sensitizer being specific for the wavelength(s) of the signal and reference beams. The hologram recording polymerization is only partial and does not consume all of the monomer present in the photopolymer medium. A second stage, a data writing polymerization initiator, specific to a data writing beam, locally advances polymerization at selected data storage locations to alter the previously recorded format hologram, resulting in optical data storage as localized alterations in the format hologram.

    Abstract: Provided is a medium for recording optical information and a method for recording optical information that allow recording sensitivity to be increased, and particularly a prescribed recording sensitivity to be maintained together with reflectivity and other playback characteristics during high-speed recording, by employing the temperature dependence of recording sensitivity of the light-absorbing layer instead of the light attenuation coefficient of the light-absorbing layer, and selecting a material which is prone to increased absorption of a laser beam at high temperatures during recording. A distinctive feature is that the absorbance or recording sensitivity of the dye material film used in the medium for recording optical information that has a writable structure is dependent on temperature. Specifically, it was found that the absorption spectrum of the dye material varies at high temperatures, and a relation A2/A1≧1.30 was established. In this relation, A1 (Abs) is an absorbance of the light-absorbing layer at a wavelength of recording light under room-temperature conditions, T (°C.) is a pyrolysis temperature of the light-absorbing layer, and A2 (Abs) is an absorbance at a wavelength of recording light under T−50 (°C.) conditions.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel multi-layered optical recording media and system for recording and reproducing information data. The multi-layered topical recording media has M information storage decks, and each information storage deck has N information storage layers, and each information storage layer has a pair of information storage structures. Each paired information storage structure has a characteristic wavelength and polarization state, and from which recorded information can be read by a laser beam having similar wavelength and polarization-state characteristics. In the illustrative embodiment, the multi-layered optical recording media of the present invention has MxNx2 information storage layers which can be read using only N laser lines (i.e. spectral components), thereby providing a 2M-fold increase in information storage capacity over prior art systems. The information storage and retrieval system of the present invention is completely backward compatible to allow for the reading of conventional CD-ROM devices.

    Abstract: An optical recording medium of the present invention includes a recording layer, in which information is recorded in a three-dimensional manner in an in-plane direction and a thickness direction of the recording layer. The recording layer includes a thermochromic material whose color changes reversibly according to a temperature. The thermochromic material converts absorbed light into heat, increases its light absorptance as the temperature rises and, when the temperature reaches a first predetermined temperature or higher, changes irreversibly to a translucent substance whose color does not change according to a temperature change. In this optical recording medium, since only the position on which irradiated light is focused develops color so as to increase light absorptance, this property is utilized for recording and reproducing information.
