摘要:
On a substrate, a recording layer which reversibly transforms between two states with different optical properties--a crystalline phase and an amorphous phase--by the irradiation of a laser beam, a first and a second dielectric layer on the bottom and the top surfaces of the recording layer, and a third dielectric layer on one surface of the first or the second dielectric layers and on the opposite side with respect to the recording layer are successively laminated, thus preparing an optical information recording medium. The third dielectric layer has a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion than the first and the second dielectric layers, so that the thermal deformation of the first and the second dielectric layers is reduced and the mass transfer of the recording layer is controlled. As a result, the overwrite cycle characteristics of the optical information recording medium are excellent.

An optical information recording medium includes one or more information layers including a recording layer for recording/reproducing an information signal by irradiation with a laser light, and a seperating layer or a protective substate on which a first information layer of the information layer on the irradiation face side is formed. The seperating layer or the protective substrate having a guide groove spirally or concentrically formed on the surface, and the respective inclined planes on the inner perimeter side and the outer perimeter side of the guide groove having inclined angles α and β with respect to the bottom face of the guide groove. The guide groove has one or more dissymmetric regions in the radius direction where the inclined angles α and β are different. The information layer has roughly agreeing thicknesses in the inclined face portion on the inner and outer perimeter sides in the dissymmetric region.
摘要:
A reflectance increasing type optical information recording medium in which the crosstalk is inhibited in the land and groove recording. This optical information recording medium comprises a substrate having a groove and a land provided between adjacent grooves and a recording layer that is provided on the substrate and that changes the reflectance by irradiation with light beams. In this recording medium, the reflectance after recording is greater than the reflectance before recording. Moreover, the depth D of the groove is set to be in the range of &lgr;/8n to 3&lgr;/8n, where the wavelength of the light beam is &lgr; and the refractive index of the substrate is n. And the difference, &Dgr;&phgr;=&phgr;1−&phgr;0, between the phase &phgr;1 of the reflected light after recording and the phase &phgr;0 of the reflected light before recording is in the range of (−0.1+2 m) &pgr; to (0.1+2 m) &pgr;, where m is an integer.

An optical information recording medium of the present invention includes a transparent substrate and a multi-layered film formed on the transparent substrate. The multi-layered film includes a lower protective layer, a recording layer that changes reversibly between different states detectable optically by irradiation of light beams, an upper protective layer, an intermediate layer and a reflective layer in this order from the side near the transparent substrate. Of the upper protective layer, the intermediate layer and the reflective layer, the heat conductivity of the layer closest to the recording layer is the smallest of the three layers, and thereafter the heat conductivities of the others increase with increasing the distance from the recording layer, and the thickness of the recording layer is from 4 nm to 16 nm. In addition, a light absorption layer can be used in place of the intermediate layer. In this case, the difference between the refractive index of the light absorption layer and the refractive index of the reflective layer is 2 to 6, and the thickness of the reflective layer is not smaller than the thickness of the light absorption layer. Alternatively, the light absorption layer has a thickness d, in a range of 0.1 &lgr;/(n1·k1)≦d1≦1.0 &lgr;/(n1·k1), where n1 is a refractive index and k1 is an extinction coefficient of the light absorption layer.
