Abstract:
The object of the invention is to provide an optical information recording medium which excels in stability e.g., for preserving the properties during a long-term storage and which enables recording using a laser having a small peak power, and a method for manufacturing such an optical information recording medium. An optical information recording medium 10 includes a recording layer 14, and intermediate layers (adhesive agent layer 15A and recording layer support layer 15B) adjacent to the recording layer 14, and the recording layer 14 includes a recording material comprising a one-photon absorption dye bound to a polymer binder (polymer compound).
Abstract:
An optical information recording medium includes: a recording layer 12 comprising a multi-photon absorption compound and a one-photon absorption compound; and a supporting member (base layer 11) configured to support the recording layer 12. In this optical information recording medium, absorption of multiple photons by the multi-photon absorption compound and absorption of one photon by the one-photon absorption compound cause a void to be generated in the recording layer, whereby information is recordable by modulation based on a presence or absence of a void.
Abstract:
An actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition includes an alkali-soluble resin (A) having a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a crosslinking agent (C) having two or more hydroxymethyl groups or alkoxymethyl groups in total within the molecule, wherein the composition contains a crosslinking agent (C1) having a molecular weight of 420 or more and also having two to four hydroxymethyl groups or alkoxymethyl groups in total within the molecule in a proportion of 60 mol % to 100 mol % based on the total amount of the crosslinking agent (C) including the crosslinking agent (C1), and in which the total concentration of the hydroxymethyl groups or the alkoxymethyl groups of the crosslinking agent (C) relative to 1 g of the solid content in the actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition is 0.30 mmol/g or more.
Abstract:
The actinic ray-sensitive or radiation-sensitive resin composition includes a crosslinking agent having a polarity converting group and an alkali-soluble resin, in which the polarity converting group is a group capable of decomposing by the action of an alkaline aqueous solution to generate a carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid on the side having a crosslinking group.
Abstract:
An optical information recording medium includes at least one recording layer. The recording layer includes a recording material comprising a polymer compound to which a one-photon absorption dye is bonded, and a coupling strength Δ2 between the one-photon absorption dye and the polymer compound in the recording material is higher than a coupling strength estimated to be exerted between the same one-photon absorption dye and the same polymer compound if the one-photon absorption dye is dispersed in the polymer compound in the recording material.
Abstract:
Optical information recording medium comprises: a plurality of recording layers 14, each of which undergoes a change in refractive index by irradiation with recording beam; and an intermediate layer 15 provided between recording layers 14. The recording layer 14 contains polymer binder and dye dispersed in the polymer binder, and at least in proximity to an interface (far-side interface 18) between the intermediate layer 15 and a recording layer 14 disposed adjacent to incident side of the intermediate layer 15 from which the recording beam enters the intermediate layer, the intermediate layer 15 has refractive index different from that of the recording layer 14. Glass transition temperature of the polymer binder is lower than melting point and decomposition point of the dye, and refractive index of the polymer binder changes by receiving heat generated when the dye absorbs the recording beam, whereby information is recordable in the recording layer.
Abstract:
Recording and reading method for optical information recording medium comprising: recording layer having thickness not less than 2λ/n, where λ is wavelength of recording beam and n is refractive index of the recording layer, and configured to undergo a change in the refractive index by irradiation with the recording beam; and adjacent layer adjacent to the recording layer at a side opposite to an incident side, comprises the steps of: recording a recording spot by irradiating with the recording beam, while shifting focal position by offset amount d, which satisfies ω0d3ω0, where ω0 is radius of the recording spot, from interface between recording layer and adjacent layer toward the incident side at a time of recording, whereby the refractive index of recording layer changes at a recording position to record recording spot; and reading out the information by irradiating with reading beam, while bringing it into focus on the interface.
