摘要:
An information readout method for an optical information medium comprising an information recording layer having pits or recorded marks representative of information data involves the step of irradiating a laser beam to the information recording layer through an objective lens for providing readings of the pits or recorded marks. When the laser beam has a wavelength λ of 400 to 410 nm, the objective lens has a numerical aperture NA of 0.70 to 0.85, and the pits or recorded marks have a minimum size PL of up to 0.36λ/NA, readout is carried out at a power Pr of at least 0.4 mW for the laser beam. When the laser beam has a wavelength λ of 630 to 670 nm, the objective lens has a numerical aperture NA of 0.60 to 0.65, and the pits or recorded marks have a minimum size PL of up to 0.36λ/NA, readout is carried out at a power Pr of at least 1.0 mW for the laser beam. Pits or recorded marks of a size approximate to the resolution limit determined by diffraction can be read out at a high C/N.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical recording medium that is suitable for recording information therein at a high velocity. An optical recording medium according to the present invention includes a recording layer formed of a phase change material and capable of recording data therein at a linear recording velocity equal to or higher than 10 m/sec, wherein Rtop satisfies the condition that it is larger than {11−(V/5)} and smaller than {22−(2V/5)}, where Rtop (%) is a reflectivity of the crystal phase change material forming the recording layer and V (m/sec) is a target linear recording velocity. According to the present invention, since modulation (MOD) of 50% or more can be ensured, it is possible to effectively suppress the degradation of jitter caused by recording data at a high linear recording velocity equal to or higher than 10 m/sec.

The invention provides a method of fabricating an optical recording medium comprising a phase change type recording layer containing at least one element selected from In, Ag, Te and Sb.

An optical recording medium comprises a substrate and a multilayer structure on the substrate. The multilayer structure comprises a phase change type recording layer and a pair of dielectric layers, at least one of which contains zinc sulfide optionally with silicon oxide. When a depth profile of the multilayer structure in a thickness direction thereof is found by Auger electron spectroscopy, a region having an intensity ratio S/Zn of 2 or lower exists across a thickness of at least 6.0 nm, calculated as SiO.sub.2, from the vicinity of an interface between the dielectric layer and the recording layer into the recording layer. In the vicinity of the interface between the dielectric layer and the recording layer, there is also a region having an intensity ratio S/Zn vs. O/Si relation that satisfies S/Zn

摘要:
In an optical information medium having an information bearing surface having projections and depressions and/or capable of forming recorded marks, a functional layer is added. The information borne on the information bearing surface can be read by using reading light of a wavelength longer than 4NA·PL wherein PL is the minimum size of the projections and depressions or the recorded marks and NA is the numerical aperture of a reading optical system, setting the power of the reading light within such a range that the functional layer does not change its complex index of refraction, and irradiating the reading light to the information bearing surface constructed by the functional layer or to the information bearing surface through the functional layer or to the functional layer through the information bearing surface. The medium enables reading at a high resolution beyond the diffraction limit.
