Definitions
- the present invention relates to an information recording medium and an optical information recording / reproducing apparatus capable of three-dimensionally recording recording pits that are information bits.
- an information recording medium capable of good recording / reproduction with high accuracy with a small decrease in the amount of recording light even in a lower recording layer located away from the objective lens while ensuring reflected light for focus servo
- the present invention relates to an optical information recording / reproducing apparatus used for recording / reproducing of the information recording medium.
- optical discs such as CD (compact disc) and DVD (digital versatile disc), optical card memory, and the like are used.
- Non-Patent Document 1 describes an information recording medium in which a plurality of recording layers 101 are three-dimensionally stacked as shown in FIG. Yes.
- This information recording medium 121 includes a glass transparent substrate 104, and recording layers 101a to 101d using a urethane-urea copolymer material, which is a photon mode recording material, on the transparent substrate 104.
- the intermediate layers 102a to 102c made of PVA (polybulal alcohol) films and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) films are alternately laminated.
- a recording light 122a having a large peak power with a wavelength of 0.790 xm emitted from the Ti sapphire laser of the recording light source 120a passes through the beam splitter 118a, and the beam expander 123 Then, the light passes through the beam splitter 118b, and is condensed by the objective lens 106 onto the desired recording layer 101c of the multilayer information recording medium 121 that can be recorded and reproduced three-dimensionally (converging light 107).
- the wavelength is halved only in the portion where the light density is high (the light collecting point and its vicinity) due to nonlinear phenomena such as the two-photon absorption process.
- the reproduction light 122b having a small peak wavelength of 0.6328 zm emitted from the He_Ne laser of the reproduction light source 120b is recorded on the desired recording layer 101c by the objective lens 106. It is focused on the pit 105 (converged light 107). Then, the reflected light is bent in the Y-axis direction by the beam splitter 118b, collected by the detection lens 111, and passes through the pinhole 114 arranged at the condensing point of the detection lens 111 to detect the light. The signal is reproduced by detection by the device 119.
- Non-Patent Document 1 By the way, although not examined in Non-Patent Document 1, in the conventional optical disc recording / reproducing apparatus, the recording light or the reproducing light from the light source is accurately focused on the disc through the objective lens during recording or reproduction. Focus servo is performed so that For this reason, it is desirable to perform focus servo even when the recording pit 105 recorded by nonlinear recording such as two-photon absorption recording is recorded and reproduced as in Non-Patent Document 1. That is, if a certain reflected light is obtained from the recording layer 101 when the recording light 122a or the reproducing light 122b is irradiated to the information recording medium 121, the reflected light should be used as a focus servo light. Thus, the light can be accurately collected on the desired recording layer 101c.
- each recording layer 101 requires a reflected light for focus servo having a constant intensity.
- the information recording medium 121 has a plurality of recording layers 101 laminated in order to form recording pits three-dimensionally. Therefore, when the number of recording layers 101 is large, the recording light and the reproduction light are reflected and absorbed not only by the desired recording layer 101c but also by each recording layer 101. Due to the reflection and absorption at each recording layer 101, the light amounts of the recording light and the reproduction light decrease until reaching the lowest layer (101d in FIG. 20) farthest from the objective lens.
- This decrease in recording sensitivity is caused by the fact that, for example, in the case of two-photon absorption recording, the recording sensitivity is proportional to the square characteristic of light quantity (n-th power characteristic in n-photon recording). For example, when the amount of recording light is 0.8, the recording sensitivity decreases to 0.8 times in normal one-photon absorption recording, but in two-photon absorption recording, the recording sensitivity is 0.64 times the square. To drop. For this reason, it is difficult for a conventional information recording medium such as Non-Patent Document 1 to secure a sufficient amount of light at the time of recording up to the lower recording layer while securing reflected light for focus servo. In this case, the recording light source may be adjusted in accordance with the position of the recording layer.
- a semiconductor laser having a high peak power for example, several lOOmW to: 1 W or more is used for recording. Because it is necessary as a light source, there is practically no margin for adjusting the light source power in the high output direction. Therefore, when recording the lower recording layer in order to record the recording pits three-dimensionally in the recording unit, it is difficult to increase the recording light source power higher than the recording power of the upper recording layer. For this reason, it is desirable to use an information recording medium that does not require adjustment of the power at the time of recording or can perform good recording with a small adjustment of the power (for example, the adjustment amount is

- the reproducing light wavelength 1 (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as ⁇ ) is the recording light wavelength 2 (hereinafter simply referred to as ⁇ 2). If it is shorter, the reflected light for the focus servo is secured and nonlinear recording is performed.
- the reflectance of the unrecorded area of the recording layer with respect to the recording light wavelength ⁇ 2 is It is characterized by being smaller than the reflectance of an unrecorded area.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of an information recording medium according to the present invention and how a signal is recorded and reproduced.
- the information recording medium 21 of the present invention is a substrate having a thickness of 1.1 mm, for example.
- Recording lights 7a and 7a 'of the recording unit 3 (7a is a convergent light of the recording light onto the information recording medium 21, 7a' is a reflected light of the recording light from the information recording medium 21) and reproducing lights 7b and 7b '(7b is the convergent light of the reproduction light to the information recording medium 21 and 7b is the reflected light of the reproduction light from the information recording medium 21) on the incident side or input / output side, for example, 50 to: 100 / im
- a protective layer 4 of a thickness of may be further provided. By providing the protective layer 4, recording and reproduction can be performed even if there is some dust, dirt, scratches, etc. on the information recording medium.
- the convergent light 7a having the recording light wavelength ⁇ 2 is applied to the track 25 that is the target layer, for example, the recording area of the recording layer Id.
- the reflected light 7a ′ from the recording layer Id is detected by a photodetector (not shown in FIG. 1), the reflected light 7a ′ can also be used as focus servo light.
- the focus servo using the reflected light 7a ′ the recording light is accurately condensed on the recording layer Id of the target at the time of recording, and the optical constant of the recording layer, preferably the refractive index is changed, so that the recording pit 5 Is recorded.
- the same convergent light 7b having a reproduction light wavelength ⁇ 1 is irradiated to the recording layer Id of the target, for example.
- the reflected light 7b ′ from the recording layer Id is detected by a photodetector (not shown in FIG. 1), the reflected light 7b ′ can also be used as focus servo light. And with the focus servo using this reflected light 7b ' The reproduction light is focused on the track 25 of the recording layer Id of the get, and the signal is reproduced by the reflected light 7b ′ of the recording pit 5 force that is the recorded area.
- the recorded pit 5 is partially recorded on the track 25 of the recording layer Id as in the unrecorded area 24 and the recorded area 23 (the area where the recorded pit 5 is formed). Is the recorded area 23), and the reflected light for focus servo is the larger of the reflected light obtained from the unrecorded area 24 and the recorded area 23 (recorded pit 5). That's fine. That is, in the information recording medium using nonlinear recording such as the two-photon absorption recording of the present invention, recording pits are formed by using a change in the optical constant of the recording layer by recording, for example, a change in refractive index.
- the reflectance of the recording layer changes before and after recording. For this reason, for example, the difference between the refractive index n2 of the intermediate layer 2 and the refractive index n of the unrecorded area 24 of the recording layer 1 (I n2-n I)
- the difference from the refractive index nl of the recorded area 23 is larger than (I n2 ⁇ nl
- the reflectance of the unrecorded area 24 is large, but the reflectance of the recorded area 23 is small. Therefore, in the information recording medium having such characteristics, reflected light from the unrecorded area 24 is mainly detected for focus servo.
- the characteristic that the reflectance is lowered by recording as described above is called H ⁇ L (High-to-Low).
- the difference between the refractive index n2 of the intermediate layer 2 and the refractive index n of the unrecorded area 24 of the recording layer 1 (I n2 ⁇ n I) is such that the refractive index n2 of the intermediate layer 2 and the recorded area of the recording layer 1 23 Is smaller than the difference (I n2 ⁇ nl I) from the refractive index nl, the reflectance of the unrecorded area 24 is small, but the reflectance of the recorded area 23 is large.
- the reflected light at the recorded area 23 (that is, the recording pit 5) is mainly detected for focus servo.
- the characteristic that the reflectivity increases due to the above recording is called L ⁇ H (Low-to_High).
- An additional intermediate layer is preferred.
- the refractive index of the intermediate layer 2 is preferably such that the difference between the refractive index of the unrecorded area 24 of the recording layer 1 or the refractive index of the recorded area 23 is 0.05 or more. If the difference in refractive index is 0.05 or more, it has been confirmed that a reflectance of at least about 0.1% with respect to the reproduction light can be obtained and good focus servo can be performed during reproduction.
- the amount of light at the time of recording or reproduction decreases in the lower recording layer away from the objective lens, making recording or reproduction difficult.
- the reduction in the amount of light during recording affects the recording sensitivity in a multiplier manner, it becomes difficult to form recording pits in the lower recording layer.
- the reflectance of the unrecorded area 24 with respect to ⁇ 2 is greater than the reflectance of the unrecorded area 24 with respect to ⁇ 1 by utilizing the difference in wavelength between the lengths 1 and 2 in nonlinear recording. It has been found that if the recording layer is formed so as to be smaller, good recording and reproduction can be achieved with high accuracy even in the lower recording layer while performing focus servo.
- the recording layer has a reflectance relationship of the present invention, the recording light transmittance of each recording layer 1 is large. For this reason, even in the lowermost recording layer (la in FIG. 1) farthest from the objective lens 6, good recording can be performed with little decrease in the amount of the recording light 7a.
- a large peak power of several hundred mW to lW or more is required as recording light. Therefore, the recording light source to be used is difficult to adjust to increase the peak power, whereas the reproducing light source is The necessary peak power is small, and it is preferable to suppress the recording light power (in general, several mW to several tens mW) in order to prevent recording by reproducing light.
- the reproduction light source has a capacity of about 1Z10 of the recording light source, and its maximum output has a margin.
- the reflectance for the reproduction light wavelength in the unrecorded area of the recording layer is set to be larger than the reflectance for the recording light wavelength, and as the target recording layer becomes a lower layer away from the objective lens 6, the recording layer Even if the reflected light intensity of the reproduction light from the light source gradually decreases, if the power of the light source for reproduction is increased in response to the decrease, if necessary, the reduction of the reflected light intensity is prevented to a detectable level. Is possible.
- the reflectance with respect to the reproduction light wavelength is high, a sufficient amount of light can be ensured even if the reproduction light has a small power.
- the recording light power is about 10 times the reproduction light power, It is also possible to set the reflectance as low as about ⁇ with respect to the reproduction light wavelength.
- the reflectance characteristics of the recording layer as described above vary depending on the recording light wavelength and the reproduction light wavelength used, but by adjusting the film thickness of the recording layer, It was found that the reflectance suitable for the combination can be secured.
- the information recording medium that satisfies the relationship between the recording light and the reflectance of the reproduction light will be described in detail by dividing each combination of the recording light wavelength and the reproduction light wavelength.
- the reproduction light wavelength ⁇ 1 is shorter than the recording light wavelength 2.
- the reproduction light wavelength satisfies 0.6 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 0.7 xm
- the recording light wavelength is An information recording medium and an optical information recording / reproducing apparatus using recording light and reproducing light satisfying 0.73 / im ⁇ 1 2 ⁇ 0.83 / im are described.

- a decrease in the amount of light becomes a problem (for example, in two-photon absorption recording, when the amount of recording light increases by 0.9 times, the recording sensitivity decreases to 0.81 times the square).
- the decrease in the amount of recording light is reduced, recording on a three-dimensional information recording medium having multiple recording layers is ensured while ensuring reflected light for the focus servo. It is possible to record and reproduce pits with good accuracy.

- the recording pit 5 is formed using a two-photon, multi-photon, or plasma absorption process, which is one of nonlinear absorption phenomena. Therefore, the recording layer 1 which is not only the intermediate layer 2 also has almost no loss other than the reflected light described above with respect to ⁇ 2 and ⁇ 1, and it is possible to efficiently record / reproduce three-dimensional recording pits. Playback is possible. That is, by using the nonlinear absorption phenomenon, a substantially transparent recording layer 1 is used, and high light utilization efficiency is achieved. However, for example, in order to perform recording using the two-photon absorption process, the recording layer 1 is made of a recording material that is substantially transparent at the recording light wavelength, but absorbs at half that wavelength.

As a result, the recording pit 5 is written. In the first embodiment, the recording pit 5 is recorded by changing the refractive index among the optical constants of the recording layer 1, but the optical constant may have other characteristics.
- the use of the change in the refractive index of the recording layer 1 is preferable for the information recording medium having the recording unit 3 having the multilayer structure because the loss of light is smaller than the use of the absorption change. Further, even if multiphoton absorption such as three-photon absorption is used, recording suitable for an information recording medium having a recording section 3 having a multilayer structure can be performed. For example, in the three-photon absorption recording, a recording material that absorbs at a wavelength that is 1/3 of the force that is substantially transparent to the recording light wavelength is used.
- the recording pit 5 is smaller than in the case of normal recording (for example, in the case of two-photon absorption, the diameter of the recording pit 5 is smaller). Is 0.71 times that of recording with one-photon absorption). For this reason, if a reproduction light wavelength shorter than the recording light wavelength (a reproduction light wavelength having a wavelength of about 0.7 times the recording light wavelength in the case of two-photon absorption) is used, the recording light is reproduced again.

- photochromic materials generally have low recording sensitivity in the two-photon absorption process, while fluorescent materials have high recording sensitivity in the two-photon absorption process. Therefore, the photochromic material which is generally excellent in the sensitivity of one-photon absorption is sensed by the two-photon fluorescence in the one-photon absorption process.
