The distance between the first and the third recording layer is a maximum of 72 μm. The distance between the second and the third recording layer is a minimum of 15 μm. The distance between the first and the second recording layer is about 31 to 40 μm. The reflectivities of the first and the second recording layer with respect to the first laser beam range from 18 to 27%, and the ratio therebetween is about 1.1 or less. The reflectivity of the third recording layer is below about 6%. The areal recording density of the third recording layer is three times or more as high as that of the first recording layer and the second recording layer.

An information recording medium has a plurality of stacked recording layers. Each recording layer has a spiral track which defines a plurality of rounds, and at least one index header aligned in the radial direction of the disk to partially intercept the spiral track. The index header has address data of each round of the spiral track, which is formed by embossed pits, and some or all of the index headers of the first and second recording layers are laid out to overlap each other when viewed from the predetermined surface.

摘要:
An optical head has a first light source for emitting a first light beam having a first wavelength, a second light source for emitting a second light beam having a second wavelength larger than the first wavelength, and an optical system for guiding the first and second light beams to an optical disc and guiding light beams reflected by the optical disc to an optical detector. The optical system, includes an objective lens, a beam splitter for reflecting the first light beam and the S-polarized component of the second light beam and transmitting the P-polarized component of the second light beam, and a quarter wavelength plate. When a high density medium is set against the optical head, recording is performed by the second light beam and reproduction is performed by the first light beam. When a low density medium is set against the optical head, recording and reproduction are carried out by the second light beam. A single optical head provides read/write compatibility with optical discs of different densities, and recording and reproduction can be made on a high density optical disc.

摘要:
An optical disk apparatus includes a semiconductor laser for emitting a light beam, and an automatic power control or APC circuit for driving the laser. A compound prism structure is optically coupled to the laser in an optical head section, and defines a first optical path for causing a front laser light to be projected onto a rotating optical disk and guiding a reflected light therefrom toward a first photodetector, and a second optical path for guiding a part of the reflected light toward a second photodetector. An output signal of the first photodetector is used to generate a reproduced information signal. An output signal of the second photodetector is fed back to the APC circuit as a front light monitor signal. A part of a laser control signal internally generated in the APC circuit is supplied through a wiring line to a noise reduction circuit as a laser noise monitor signal. The noise reduction circuit subtracts this noise monitor signal from the reproduced information signal to provide a noise-suppressed information signal.
