Abstract: A recordable optical recording media is provided with an inorganic recording layer prepared by magnetic sputtering. The recording layer is a combination film including a primary component selected from cupper (Cu), silicon (Si), chromium (Cr) or the combination thereof. The purpose of recording data can be achieved by way of altering micro-structure of the recording layer after irradiating the recordable optical recording media by a laser beam.

Abstract: An optical recording medium is provided with inorganic bi-layer films that were prepared by magnetic sputtering. A first recording layer containing an element selected from Si or Ge, and a second recording layer contacts with the first recording layer and containing a primary component selected from Ta, Ni or Mo. This optical media can record information by way of microscopic structure changing of bi-layer recording films after laser irradiation.

Abstract: A method for improving read stability of optical recording medium is disclosed. In the method, the thickness of a recording layer of an optical recording medium is adjusted to control the disc absorptivity, and the recording layer thickness is matched with a power difference between a laser write power (Pw) and a laser erase power (Pe), so as to control the optimal laser power for irradiating and accordingly changing the optical properties of the recording layer. It is found that by using properly increased recording layer thickness corresponding to a given disc absorptivity, and properly matching the recording layer thickness with a properly increased power difference, the read stability and recording characteristics of the optical recording media can be improved without significantly changing the layer structure and writing strategy of the optical recording medium.
