摘要:
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.

摘要:
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.
摘要:
A data reproducing method reproducing data recorded in a super resolution information storage medium in a form of marks having magnitudes less than a resolving power of an incident light beam, and an apparatus thereof. The data reproducing method includes irradiating a first beam having a resolving power causing a super resolution phenomenon and a second beam having a resolving power not causing a super resolution phenomenon into different places on the information storage medium, detecting a first reproduction signal based on the first beam and a second reproduction signal based on the second beam, and compensating for and calculating a temporal delay between the first reproduction signal and the second reproduction signal. Therefore, a signal reflected from a peripheral area of a reproduction beam spot other than a super resolution area can be excluded, thereby improving reproduction signal characteristics.
摘要:
A super-resolution information storage medium having recording marks or pits that are smaller than the resolution limit of a beam incident from an information recording and/or reproducing apparatus, and the information recording and/or reproducing apparatus. The information storage medium includes a substrate and at least one super-resolution reproduction layer containing a super-resolution material and a high melting point material with a melting point higher than that of the super-resolution material formed on the substrate. The high melting point material suppresses movement of the super-resolution material in a melted phase so as to prevent signal degradation caused by repeated reproduction.

A high density readable only optical disc includes a substrate having pits with different lengths in accordance with unit information, wherein a depth of the pit increases as the pit length increases; and a mask layer that includes a metal oxide, or a mixture of fine metal particles and a dielectric material. The high density readable only optical disc may be used to read pits not greater than a reading resolution limit and to obtain an optimal CNR since a pit depth is varied depending on a pit length. Also, a method of the high density readable only optical disc may be used to prepare a high density readable only optical disc having an optimal pit depth in accordance with a pit length.
