摘要:
An information readout method for an optical information medium comprising an information recording layer having pits or recorded marks representative of information data involves the step of irradiating a laser beam to the information recording layer through an objective lens for providing readings of the pits or recorded marks. When the laser beam has a wavelength λ of 400 to 410 nm, the objective lens has a numerical aperture NA of 0.70 to 0.85, and the pits or recorded marks have a minimum size PL of up to 0.36λ/NA, readout is carried out at a power Pr of at least 0.4 mW for the laser beam. When the laser beam has a wavelength λ of 630 to 670 nm, the objective lens has a numerical aperture NA of 0.60 to 0.65, and the pits or recorded marks have a minimum size PL of up to 0.36λ/NA, readout is carried out at a power Pr of at least 1.0 mW for the laser beam. Pits or recorded marks of a size approximate to the resolution limit determined by diffraction can be read out at a high C/N.

In an optical information medium having an information bearing surface having projections and depressions and/or capable of forming recorded marks, a functional layer is added. The information borne on the information bearing surface can be read by using reading light of a wavelength longer than 4NA·PL wherein PL is the minimum size of the projections and depressions or the recorded marks and NA is the numerical aperture of a reading optical system, setting the power of the reading light within such a range that the functional layer does not change its complex index of refraction, and irradiating the reading light to the information bearing surface constructed by the functional layer or to the information bearing surface through the functional layer or to the functional layer through the information bearing surface. The medium enables reading at a high resolution beyond the diffraction limit.

In the phase change type optical recording medium of the present invention, loss of reliability by high-temperature storage is prevented, and self-erasure (a phenomenon of partial erasure of the record mark by heat diffusion in the lateral direction during the irradiation of the recording laser beam) is suppressed.

In the recording of an optical recording medium of phase change type according to the present invention, favorable properties are realized even when the recording is effected in a wide range of linear velocity. The optical recording method of the present invention is a method for recording an optical recording medium comprising a substrate and a recording layer of phase change type on the substrate. A pulse train is used as the recording waveform for laser beam modulation during the formation of one recording mark. The pulse train includes at least one unit pulse comprising an upward pulse and a subsequent downward pulse, and the relation (I): 0.25≦(TclH/TclL)×n≦1.25 (I). is satisfied when width of the last downward pulse standardized by the reciprocal of linear velocity is TclH at a linear velocity of V and TclL at a linear velocity of V/n (n is a real number greater than 1).

Deterioration of properties associated with high-density recording is suppressed in the recording of a phase change optical recording medium wherein a land or groove is used for the recording track. A method for recording an optical recording medium having a substrate having grooves formed thereon and a recording layer of phase change type on the substrate wherein a groove or a land between two adjacent grooves is used for the recording track is provided. In this method, the record marks are formed such that:M.sub.W /T.sub.W >1when T.sub.W is width of the recording track, and M.sub.W is width of the record mark.
