摘要:
Provided is a medium for recording optical information and a method for recording optical information that allow recording sensitivity to be increased, and particularly a prescribed recording sensitivity to be maintained together with reflectivity and other playback characteristics during high-speed recording, by employing the temperature dependence of recording sensitivity of the light-absorbing layer instead of the light attenuation coefficient of the light-absorbing layer, and selecting a material which is prone to increased absorption of a laser beam at high temperatures during recording. A distinctive feature is that the absorbance or recording sensitivity of the dye material film used in the medium for recording optical information that has a writable structure is dependent on temperature. Specifically, it was found that the absorption spectrum of the dye material varies at high temperatures, and a relation A2/A1≧1.30 was established. In this relation, A1 (Abs) is an absorbance of the light-absorbing layer at a wavelength of recording light under room-temperature conditions, T (°C.) is a pyrolysis temperature of the light-absorbing layer, and A2 (Abs) is an absorbance at a wavelength of recording light under T−50 (°C.) conditions.

An optical information medium made up of a transparent substrate capable of allowing a recording laser beam to penetrate therethrough; a recording layer formed on the transparent substrate; and a reflective layer formed on the recording layer and reflecting a reproducing laser beam thereupon. A numerical aperture of an objective lens of an optical pickup for irradiating the recording laser beam on the recording layer is approximately 0.65, and the numerical aperture of an objective lens of the optical pickup for irradiating the recording laser beam on the reflection layer is approximately 0.60. An inclination angle &thgr; at both edges of the groove for tracking, being formed spirally on the surface of the transparent substrate on which the recording layer is formed, with respect to the main surface of the transparent substrate, is selected to be from 55° to 75°. An index ∝, expressed by 1−Dr/Ds when assuming that the depth of the groove on the transparent substrate is Ds and the depth of the recording layer at the position of said groove is Dr, is selected to be from 0.2 to 0.4. Further, the full width at half maximum of the groove on the transparent substrate is selected to be from one-third (⅓) to a half (½) of the pitch p of the groove. With this optical information medium, it is possible to record high density signals as signals that are readable optically, as well as to record them with stability.

An optical information medium is made up of a transparent substrate for a recording laser beam to penetrate therethrough, a recording layer formed on the transparent substrate, and a reflective layer for reflecting reproducing laser beam formed thereupon enabling the recording of optically readable signals by means of an incident recording laser from the transparent substrate. The transparent substrate has spiral-like tracking guides on the surface of the transparent substrate on which is formed the recording layer, and pre-pits indicative of address information are formed on a land portion defined between the tracking guides. The pre-pits are formed shifted from a center of the land. With this construction, the pre-pits open to a side of the tracking guide neighboring the land. With this, it is possible to read out address signals from the pre-pits with certainty when recording, and also to suppress errors due to mixing between the signals obtained from the pre-pits indicative of the address information and the recorded data read out from the pits on the tracking guides when reading the recorded optically readable signals.

Also, the film thickness of the recording layer in the area of the land pre pits is selected to differ from the film thickness of the recording layer in the area of the tracking guide.
