摘要:
A multilayer optical recording medium is provided with a totally reflective first information layer provided on a substrate and a second information layer being a translucent information layer provided via a spacer layer. The second information layer is composed of a TiO2 layer, a first dielectric layer, a reflective film, a second dielectric layer, a recording film, and a third dielectric layer, all of which are laminated together in this order. The first dielectric layer is made of ZrO2, Cr2O3, and Al2O3, and has a refractive index in the range of 1.84 to 2.20. If the recoding film is made of a material containing Sb as a main component, it is possible to strike a balance between high values of both the transmittance and the degree of modulation in recording information by laser light with a wavelength of 405 nm using an optical recording system having an optical system with a numerical aperture NA=0.85.

摘要:
An information recording method enables the precise formation of a recording mark on a recording layer having a high light transmittance such as an L1 layer of a double-layered optical recording medium. The information recording method uses the following recording strategy. A laser beam is pulse-modulated so as to create a pulse series including a write pulse of a recording power and a cooling pulse of a base power. Data to be recorded is modulated to have a length of a recording mark along a track of the recording layer. At the same time, the length of the recording mark is made to correspond to an integral multiple nT of T where T is one clock cycle. An nT recording mark corresponding to nT is recorded by using the same number of write pulses and cooling pulses when n is 4 or larger. Moreover, an average width AveTc for a single cooling pulse width Tc is set to satisfy: 1.0

The method for determining a pattern for modulating the power of a laser beam according to the present invention includes the steps of determining pulse train patterns by fixing a recording power at a predetermined level and varying the level of a bottom power, modulating the power of the laser beam in accordance with the pulse train patterns to record first test signals in the optical recording medium, reproducing the first test signals, determining the optimum level of the bottom power based on the amplitude of the thus reproduced first test signals, determining pulse train patterns by fixing the bottom power at the optimum level and varying the level of the recording power, modulating the power of the laser beam in accordance with the pulse train patterns to record second test signals in the optical recording medium, reproducing the second test signals and determining the optimum level of the recording power based on at least one of jitter and error rates of the thus reproduced second test signals.

Prevented is the reliability loss in phase change optical recording media during high-temperature storage, and also prevented is the phenomenon of self-erase by which a part of record marks having been formed in the media are erased due to the lateral heat diffusion into the recording layer while recording laser beams are irradiated to the media. The optical recording medium disclosed has a recording layer of a phase change type and is applied to driving units for overwriting it at a linear velocity of V.sub.0. The medium is so designed as to satisfy the requirement of 1

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for determining the power of a laser beam which can determine the recording power of the laser beam so that jitter of a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing data recorded in a data rewritable type optical recording medium can be controlled within a tolerance even when cross erasing of data occurs and that the reproduced signal having the highest level can be obtained. The method for determining the power of a laser beam according to the present invention includes the steps of recording a first test signal in a data rewritable type optical recording medium while varying a level of the recording power of the laser beam, measuring, for each of the levels of the recording power of the laser beam, an amplitude A0 of a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal before the first test signal is influenced by cross erasing of data, an amplitude A1 and jitter J1 of a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after the first test signal was once influenced by cross erasing of data and an amplitude As and jitter Js of a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after an influence of cross erasing of data on the first test signal was saturated, calculating a first parameter for each of the levels of the recording power of the laser beam as a function of the difference between the amplitude A0 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal before the first test signal is influenced by cross erasing of data and the amplitude A1 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after the first test signal was once influenced by cross erasing of data, calculating a second parameter for each of the levels of the recording power of the laser beam as a function of the difference between the amplitude A1 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after the first test signal was once influenced by cross erasing of data and the amplitude As of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after the influence of cross erasing of data on the first test signal was saturated, calculating a third parameter for each of the levels of the recording power of the laser beam as a function of the difference between the jitter Js of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after the influence of cross erasing of data on the first test signal was saturated and the jitter J1 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the first test signal after the first test signal was once influenced by cross erasing of data, obtaining a value of the first parameter corresponding to a value of the second parameter when the third parameter is equal to a tolerance, thereby determining a critical parameter, recording a second test signal in the data rewritable type optical recording medium while varying a level of the recording power of the laser beam, judging whether or not signal characteristics of a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the second test signal recorded in the data rewritable type optical recording medium satisfy reference conditions, measuring, for each of the levels of the recording power of the laser beam, when the signal characteristics of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the second test signal recorded in the data rewritable type optical recording medium satisfy the reference conditions, an amplitude AA0 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the second test signal before the second test signal is influenced by cross erasing of data and an amplitude AA1 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the second test signal after the first test signal was once influenced by cross erasing of data, calculating a fourth parameter based on the amplitudes AA0 and AA1 of the reproduced signals obtained by reproducing the second test signals as a function of the difference between the amplitude AA0 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the second test signal before the second test signal is influenced by cross erasing of data and the amplitude AA1 of the reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the second test signal after the first test signal was once influenced by cross erasing of data, comparing the critical parameter and the fourth parameter, and determining the recording power of the laser beam at which the fourth parameter was obtained as an optimum recording power when the fourth parameter is equal to or lower than the critical parameter.

In an optical recording medium comprising a phase change recording layer (4) containing Sb and optionally, Te and/or In as a main component, the recording layer is able to be crystallized to provide a crystallized region which contains rhombohedral crystals consisting essentially of Sb and is substantially free of a crystal phase other than the rhombohedral crystals. When the recording layer contains a rare earth element, Zr, Hf, Ti or Sn as an auxiliary component, the medium has a dielectric layer (31) composed of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, or a mixture of zinc sulfide and at least 30 mol % of silicon oxide, disposed contiguous to and in front of the recording layer (4) as viewed from the recording/reading beam incident side. The medium has a high transfer rate and improved thermal stability.
