摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of recording information to an optical recording medium that can reduce the influence from heat caused when neighboring recording marks are formed and can prevent cross-talk and cross-erase of information. According to the present invention, when forming recording marks in the optical recording medium by projecting a pulse-modulated laser beam thereonto, since the recording powers of a top pulse and a last pulse are set to Pw2 lower than the recording power Pw1 of any of intermediate pulses-and the width Tcl of a cooling pulse is set to be equal to or wider than 1.0 T wider than the width of a pulse of the recording power, it is possible to improve cooling efficiency when recording marks are formed, thereby decreasing thermal interference between recording marks and achieve high density recording and high data transfer rate.

A rewritable phase-change optical recording medium is provided, which includes a substrate, a first information layer, a spacer layer, a second information layer, and a cover layer. The second information layer includes a recording film containing Sb as a main component and V or V and In as second components. When an amorphous mark formed in the recording film is irradiated with a reproduction beam, crystallization of the amorphous mark occurs only in a central portion in the width direction of the amorphous mark. The width direction is orthogonal to the scanning direction of the laser beam. The recording film is formed of a material that exhibits a change in degree of modulation of 5% or less when recorded information is repeatedly reproduced. The change in degree of modulation is a change from when the number of times of reproduction is 100,000 to when it is 400,000.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for recording data in an optical recording medium which can record data in a write-once type optical recording medium at a high linear recording velocity using a laser beam having a low recording power. The method for recording data in an optical recording medium according to the present invention is constituted so that when data are to be recorded in an optical recording medium including a substrate, a first recording layer and a second recording layer by projecting a laser beam whose power is modulated in accordance with a pulse train pattern including pulses whose levels are set to levels corresponding to a recording power Pw and a bottom power Pb onto the optical recording medium and forming a recording mark at a predetermined region of the first recording layer and the second recording layer, as a linear recording velocity increases, the power of the laser beam is modulated using a pulse train pattern including a smaller number of pulses whose level is set to a level to the recording power Pw, thereby forming a recording mark. According to the present invention, since the power of a laser beam is modulated using a pulse train pattern including a smaller number of pulses whose level is set to a level to the recording power Pw as a linear recording velocity increases, it is possible to record data in an optical recording medium using a laser beam having a low recording power even when a linear recording velocity is high and on the other hand, it is possible to prevent cross-talk of data from increasing even when a linear recording velocity is low. Therefore, it is possible to employ a semiconductor laser having a relatively low output even when data are recorded at a high linear recording velocity.
