摘要:
A super resolution information storage medium, a method of making reproducing signals stable, and an apparatus for recording and/or reproducing data on a super resolution information storage medium. The information storage medium on which information is recorded as marks smaller than a resolution of an incident beam, includes a substrate, a super resolution layer formed on the substrate and generating a thermal reaction at portions where the incident beam is focused, and a phase change layer formed on or under the super resolution layer and crystallized before reproducing the recording marks.

A method of and apparatus for reproducing information recorded in a super resolution information storage medium (SRISM) using an appropriate actual reproduction power, which is actually appropriate for reproduction, by actively detecting a threshold region that varies according to the reflectivity of the SRISM are provided. The method of reproducing information from an SRISM includes: radiating a light beam onto the SRISM, while varying a reproduction power of the laser beam, receiving the light beam reflected by the SRISM, and detecting a change in the level of a reproduction signal from the received light beam; calculating, based the change in the level of the reproduction signal, a reference reproduction power at which the gradient of a graph of the levels of the reproduction signal with respect to the reproduction power changes; and setting the actual reproduction power based on the reference reproduction power. The apparatus for reproducing information from an SRISM includes: an optical pickup unit including a light source which radiates a light beam having a range of power onto the SRISM, and a photodetector which receives the light beam reflected from the SRISM and detects a reproduction signal from the received light beam; and a signal processing unit which detects a change in the level of the reproduction signal according to a change in the reproduction power of the light beam radiated onto the SRISM by the light source and sets the actual reproduction power of the light beam emitted from the light source based on a reference reproduction power at which the gradient of a graph of the levels of the reproduction signal with respect to the reproduction power changes.

摘要:
A super resolution information storage medium capable of reproducing information recorded thereon as a mark with a size less than the resolution limit of an incident light beam, includes marks of varying sizes recorded thereon, excluding marks with a size in the vicinity of the resolution limit, where the resolution limit depends on the wavelength of a light source irradiating light on the information storage medium and the numerical aperture of an object lens focusing the light irradiated from the light source on the information storage medium. By adjusting the size of or excluding a mark with a size in the vicinity of the limit of the resolution that has a low C/N ratio, the C/N ratio is improved and the performance of super resolution information reproduction is improved such that high density and high capacity information storage medium can be implemented.

An information storage medium reduces low frequency noise, and an apparatus records and/or reproduces information thereon. The information storage medium includes a substrate; a recording layer formed on the substrate and including at least two materials in which the materials chemically react with each other due to an incident beam thereon having a write power and form a recording mark; and a super resolution reproduction layer formed on and/or under the recording layer and having a property in which optical characteristics of a partial area of a spot due to the incident beam are changed. The apparatus to record and/or reproduce information on the information storage medium includes a pickup unit having a light source, an objective lens to form a beam spot on the information storage medium, and a photodetector; a signal processor; and a controller.
