A polycrystalline aluminum thin film is made of polycrystals of an alloy of aluminum. The polycrystalline aluminum thin film includes a first additive which is distributed with even concentration over an inside of each crystal grain and an interface of the crystal grain and a second additive which is distributed with higher concentration in the interface of the crystal grain than in the inside of the crystal grain.

Hardness of a resin substrate of an optical disc is selected to be greater than hardness of a cover layer of the optical disc, at least when information is recorded on the optical disc. A laser beam is transmitted to an organic dye layer of the optical disc through the cover layer and a protection layer when information is recorded on the optical disc. The organic dye layer is sandwiched by the protection layer and a reflection layer. The substrate has grooves on its surface, and information is recorded between the grooves. The organic dye is heated and expands upon information recording, but a stress generated by the deforming organic dye layer is mainly transferred toward the cover layer. Deformation of the reflection layer and crosswrite upon information recording can be prevented. Therefore, the optical disc can record information between the grooves at a high density. Alternatively, the optical disc may be configured such that heat transfer toward the protection layer from the organic dye layer is set to be greater than heat transfer toward the reflection layer from the organic dye layer when the light beam is radiated for information recording.

In a method of manufacturing a master optical disk, a photoresist applied to an optical disk substrate is coated with an optical film for converging recording light on the optical disk substrate in cooperation with a solid immersion lens body. The photoresist is exposed through the optical film by using an optical system including the solid immersion lens.

A double-layer optical disk having characteristics that are less wavelength dependent, allows the use of a pickup comprising a light beam of a different wavelength to read each layer accurately and stably. In the double layer optical disk which comprises, a first reflection layer carrying first information, a spacer layer, and a second reflection layer carrying second information, each laminated on a transparent substrate having a specific refractive index thereby allowing a pickup to read said first and second information, the first reflection layer is formed by laminating a metal layer made of a metal thin film and a dielectric layer made of a dielectric having a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the transparent substrate.

An optical recording medium comprises a first information recording surface; a first reflecting layer formed on the first information recording surface; a second information recording surface; and a second reflecting layer formed on the second information recording surface. In particular, the first reflecting layer contains a titan oxide as a main component.

An optical recording medium includes: a substrate on which information is recorded as phase pits, and a polarization state varying layer for rotating a polarization state of a light beam irradiated thereon in accordance with a temperature distribution caused by irradiation of the light beam. A device for reproducing information recorded on the optical recording medium includes: light irradiation unit for irradiating a read-out light beam to produce a light spot on the optical recording medium so that a light intensity of the light beam at a first portion of the light spot is higher than a predetermined level, separation unit for separating a component of light beam having a predetermined polarization state from a light beam reflected by the optical recording medium, light receiving unit for receiving the light beam separated by said separation means and generating read-out signal, and reproducing unit for reproducing information recorded on the optical recording medium on the basis of the read-out signal.
摘要:
An optical information record carrier (optical disk, conventionally) has multiple reflective surfaces, each carrying separate information and each readable by an optical beam directed from the same side of the record carrier. The top most reflective surface reflects light of a first waveband and passes light of a second waveband. The next top most reflective layer reflects light within at least part of the second waveband. The record carrier is formed by producing a first reflective layer having a first pit pattern in the surface of a transparent substrate, pressing said first substrate/layer combination to a transparent stamper having a second pit pattern, with a radiation hardening liquid resin therebetween, irradiating the resin by applying radiation to said resin through said stamper, peeling off said stamper, applying a second reflective layer to said hardened resin surface opposite the surface in contact with said first reflective layer, and applying a protective layer to said second reflective layer.
