摘要:
An optical recording medium which can produce a read signal free from waveform distortion during reproduction of information. The optical recording medium comprises groove information tracks on which information pits carrying information data is to be formed, and prepit tracks provided with a plurality of previously formed land prepits connected to the groove information tracks. The groove information tracks and the prepit tracks are arranged in alternation. The groove information track has a track width smaller in at least a part of each of sections in which the land prepit exists than in sections in which no land prepit exists.

In a disc player, a CAL pattern is recorded in a disc-like optical recording medium during a recording stand-by time period, which is yielded by a difference between a data rate in inputting information to a disc player 50 and a recording rate in recording information into the optical recording medium. The CAL pattern is reproduced from the optical recording medium, the reproduced pattern is evaluated, and an irradiation intensity of a laser beam is optimized for recording information in the optical recording medium, by a laser-output controller 30.

An information recording and reproducing device diffracts by a diffracting means (14) to make laser light separated into a main beam and a sub-beam, irradiates evanescent light in relation to the main beam, by an evanescent light generating means (21), to a track where a recording pit provided on a recording surface of a recording medium is formed and also irradiates evanescent light in relation to the sub-beam to be separated to a track where no recording pit provided on the recording surface of the recording medium is formed. A moving means (210) moves the evanescent light generating means to a direction to change a gap with the recording surface. Further, a judging means (40) judges an uneven state of the recording pit formed on the recording medium, a signal generating means (3161) generates a gap error signal from a signal indicative of a return light amount in relation to the sub-beam or the main beam in accordance with the result, a control means (315) controls the moving means in accordance with a gap error signal so as to make the gap become a target value in response to the uneven state to be judged.
摘要:
The optical recording medium includes a first layer which is in a state that includes different phases having different optical constants and in which information has been recorded. The second layer is capable of changing states, which states include different phases and different optical constants. There is also provided a method of reproducing information recorded on an optical recording medium which includes a first layer having different phases and different optical constants and a second layer capable of changing states, which states include different phases and different optical constants. The method employs irradiating the second layer with a laser beam, and reproducing information recorded on the first layer from an area corresponding to an area of the second layer where the optical constants change due to laser irradiation.
