摘要:
A phase-change optical storage medium has a substrate and a recording layer having a plurality of tracks for storing information. A material of which the recording layer is made has been initialized in a crystalline state in which an amplitude of a tracking-detection signal is smaller than a saturation value of the amplitude, the tracking-detection signal being obtained by receiving a reflected beam from the recording layer when the recording layer is irradiated with a laser beam in an off-track state while the optical storage medium is being rotated.

An optical disk consists of a first laminated layer structure and a second laminated layer structure. The first structure has a first transparent substrate having a first surface and a second surface on both sides thereof, provided on the first surface being a light-incident plane via which a light beam is to be incident in recording or reproduction, formed alternately on the second surface being a plurality of first lands and first grooves, and a first organic-dye recording layer formed on the second surface to cover the first lands and grooves. The second structure has a second substrate, alternately formed on which are a plurality of second lands and second grooves, a reflective film formed on the second transparent substrate to cover the second lands and grooves, and a second organic-dye recording layer formed on the reflective film to face the second transparent substrate. The first and the second structures are bonded to each other via a bonding layer so that the first and second recording layers are provided between the first and second substrates. A formula α1≧cos−1(20/Tb) is satisfied in which Tb is a thickness of the reflective film formed on a bottom of each second groove and α1 is an angle between a plane passing through an upper surface of each second land and a side wall of each second groove.

Information to be recorded is recorded in a recording layer of a phase-change optical storage medium. The information to be recorded is modulated to generate modulated data. Desired mark-length data is generated based on the modulated data. Generated further based on the mark-length data is a recording pulse pattern of recording pulses rising from an erasing power and formed between a recording power larger than the erasing power and a bottom power smaller than the erasing power and of erasing pulses rising from the bottom power to the erasing power. A recording light beam is then irradiated onto the recording layer in accordance with the recording pulse pattern to record at least one recorded mark representing the information to be recorded. Used in recording is an optimum erasing power, as the erasing power, the optimum erasing power satisfying an expression (1): 1.000

Data is recorded in an optical storage medium with a beam having a wavelength in a 650-nm band. The medium has a substrate, a first laminated layer structure formed on the substrate and having at least a first reflective film and a first recording film, and a second laminated layer structure formed over the first structure and having at least a second reflective film and a second recording film. The data is recorded in at least one of specific sections of the first recording film, with a beam having a wavelength in a 650-nm band and a beam spot having a specific area. The first structure satisfies requirements Tc≦Tr≦60% and 9%≦Rr≦Rc≦15% wherein Tc and Rc are a transmissivity and a reflectivity, respectively, of the first structure when the first recording film has no data recorded therein after initialized, and Tr and Rr are a transmissivity and a reflectivity, respectively, of the first structure when the first recording film has the data recorded therein. The transmissivity Tc and the reflectivity Rc, and the transmissivity Tr and the reflectivity Rr are exhibited by the first structure when the beam is emitted thereto through the substrate as a parallel beam having a sectional area in a direction orthogonal to another direction in which the beam travels. The sectional area is larger than the specific area. Data is recorded in the second recording film through the substrate and the data-recorded specific section of the first recording film. The second structure exhibits a reflectivity of 5% or higher but 10% or lower when the beam is focused onto the second recording film, as having the beam spot having the specific area, through the substrate and the first structure, and when the first recording film has the data recorded therein.

Data is recorded in a phase-change optical storage medium having data layers. A first recording pulse sequence is generated for recording to a first data layer located most remote from a beam-incident surface. The first sequence has a recording pulse carrying an erasing power and a recording power rising from the erasing power, and a cooling pulse carrying a bottom power lower than the erasing power. A second recording pulse sequence is generated for recording to a second data layer. The second sequence has recording pulse carrying an erasing power and a recording power rising from the erasing power, a cooling puse carrying a bottom power lower than the erasing power, and an erasing top pulse carrying an erasing top power higher than the erasing power.
