摘要:
In a method of recording optical information, one of correcting ways for correcting the pulse waveform of the input signal to be recorded is selected depending on change in relative velocity between the optical information recording medium and the laser beam spot; and thereafter the laser beam output power is modulated in a range between an erasing level and a recording level in accordance with the corrected pulse waveform of the modulated input signal. Then a digital input signal corrected by modulation in pulse width is overwritten onto an optical information recording medium with a single laser beam spot by forming recording marks corresponding to the input pulse signal.

An optical information storage medium includes a multilayer structure formed on a substrate. The multilayer structure is formed by a sputtering process in a discharge gas and includes at least a first dielectric layer, a recording layer which shows reversible phase change between an amorphous phase and a crystal phase, and a second dielectric layer. The multilayer structure contains sufficiently small amount of the discharge gas so that a limited amount or less of voids of the discharge gas generates in the recording layer during repeated overwrite operations.
摘要:
In forming steps of a recording layer or a dielectric layer of a phase change type optical disk by sputtering, a discharge gas which includes at least one of Kr gas and Xe gas is used. Alternatively, at least one of Ar gas and N.sub.2 gas may be further added to the discharge gas. Forming the recording layer or the dielectric layer of the phase change type optical disk in these discharge gases enables preventing of the introduction of the discharge gas into each layer during the forming steps. As a result, the void generation and growth in the recording layer is suppressed. Consequently, the deterioration of the cycle life characteristics due to repeated overwrite operations can be restrained. Therefore, high reliability and long life of the phase change type optical disk is attained.

摘要:
In a phase-change recording medium, a recording medium is provided with a barrier layer including Ge--N, Ge--N--O between a recording layer and a dielectric protective layer in order to prevent a chemical reaction and an atom diffusion between the recording layer and the dielectric protective layer. A barrier material can be also applied to the protective layer itself. Thereby, it is possible to considerably suppress a reduction of a reflectivity and a reduction of a signal amplitude due to the repeat of recording and erasing, such reductions being observed in a conventional phase-change optical information recording medium, and thereby the number of overwriting times can be increased.
