A multilayer optical recording medium enabled to retain an ideal signal regenerating property in spite of accidental adhesion of finger mark or alien substance is provided. The multilayer optical recording medium 1 is provided with a plurality of information-recording layers 20, 22, 24, and 26 capable of reading information with a reading light irradiated through a light incidence surface 38A on one side and is so adapted that the light incidence side information-recording layer 26 approximating most closely to the light incidence surface 38A may be set at a small recording capacity as compared with the recording capacities of at least one of the other information-recording layers.

摘要:
When there is a defect area in a specific recording layer, recording of information is continued and reduction in a recording rate is restrained. In an optical recording method for recording information on a multilayer optical recording medium having a plurality of recording layers by irradiating the recording layer with a beam spot, any recording layer is set as an escape recording layer. When a defect area is detected while information is recorded on another recording layer except for the escape recording layer, the beam spot moves to the escape recording layer to continue recording the information.

An optical recording medium has a five-layer structure including five recording layers, namely an L0 layer, an L1 layer, an L2 layer, an L3 layer, and an L4 layer in this order from a side farthest away from a laser light incident surface.

A reliable optical recording medium is provided which includes an information layer exhibiting small changes in the optical properties even during long-term storage. The optical recording medium includes the information layer including a recording film having an extinction coefficient of 0.4 or less at the wavelength of a laser beam used for recording and reproducing. The information layer further includes a light absorbing film having an extinction coefficient of 1.5 or less at the wavelength of the laser beam, and the extinction coefficient of the light absorbing film is greater than that of the recording film.
摘要:
In a multilayer optical recording medium having three or more recording layers, when data is recorded on a recording layer far away from an incident surface of laser light, and especially on a recording layer farthest away from the incident surface of the laser light, by applying the laser light, the recording power margin of the farthest recording layer allows for a variation in the optimal recording sensitivity even if the transmittance of the recording layers located between the laser light incident surface side and the target recording layer is varied due to existing recordings and the amount of the laser light passing therethrough is also varied. In this case, the recording layer which is the farthest from an incident surface of laser light has a phase change recording film, and the recording layer which is the nearest from the incident surface of the laser light has a write-once read-multiple recording film.

The optical recording medium includes a first information layer including a first recording film having an extinction coefficient of 0.4 or less at a wavelength of a laser beam used for recording and reproducing, and a second information layer including a second recording film consisting essentially of the same constituent elements as those of the first recording film and having an extinction coefficient of 0.4 or less. Among the first and second information layers, the first information layer is located further away from a laser beam-incident surface than the second information layer located closest to the incident surface. The first information layer further includes a light absorbing film having an extinction coefficient of 1.5 or more at the wavelength of the laser beam, the extinction coefficient of the light absorbing film being greater than that of the first recording film.
摘要:
An optical recording and reading method capable of enhancing the design flexibility of recording layers of an optical recording medium and performing accurate optical recording and reading operations. The optical recording and reading method is one for recording and reading an optical recording medium having three or more recording layers by irradiating the same with laser light using an optical recording and reading apparatus. When an optical recording medium is mounted on the optical recording and reading apparatus, the positions of the recording layers of the optical recording medium are measured using the laser light.
