Patent number: 7909957Abstract: The recording medium comprises at least a first (L1) and a second (L2) micro-structured stage assembled by an adhesive layer (4) and arranged between micro-structured bottom (2) and top substrates. A polymerizable layer forming the adhesive layer (4) is deposited on the first stage (L1). Then a micro-structured transparent matrix (5) is provisionally placed on the adhesive layer (4) so as to micro-structure the adhesive layer (4). Polymerization of the adhesive (4) is performed by exposure, through the matrix (5), with a polymerization light. Then the matrix (5) is removed and the second stage (L2) is deposited on the micro-structured adhesive layer (4). Then an additional adhesive layer (9) is deposited on the second stage (L2) and the micro-structured matrix (5) is definitively placed on the additional adhesive layer (9) so as to form the top substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2005Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignees: Commissariat A l'Energie Atomique, MPO InternationalInventors: Jacques Raby, Alain Fargeix, Marc Plissonnier, Marine Ruty

Patent number: 7903536Abstract: An irreversible optical recording medium comprises at least an active layer presenting a rear face and a front face designed to receive at least an optical writing radiation. The optical writing radiation enables gas bubbles forming write marks to be formed locally in said active layer by means of a layer forming a gas source arranged on the rear face of the active layer. The layer forming the gas source moreover has a thickness less than or equal to 100 nm so as to limit the height of the bubbles formed in the active layer and therefore to improve tracking when read operations are performed. The layer forming the gas source is preferably made of carbon-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon oxide.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2006Date of Patent: March 8, 2011Assignees: Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique, MPO InternationalInventors: Ludovic Poupinet, Jerome Hazart, Berangere Hyot, Marc Plissonnier
