Patent number: 4977064Abstract: This invention relates to an optical recording medium characterized by high sensitivity, high stability, etc, and a process for making the optical recording medium. Specifically, the present invention provides an optical recording medium composed of a transparent substrate having prepits and/or pregrooves for system control signals and first and second recording layers formed thereon in order, the both layers having individually a specific reflectance, transmittance and absorbance. To the optical recording medium, a laser beam is irradiated on the transparent substrate side to record or read out information and, by detecting the variation of the amount of light as a sum of the reflected light from the boundary between the first recording layer and the substrate and the reflected light from the boundary between the second recording layer and the air, the system control signals are primarily obtained from the prepits and/or pregrooves.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1988Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignees: Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Incorporated, Yamamoto Chemicals, IncorporatedInventors: Hiroshi Sukawa, Sumio Hirose, Shigeru Takahara, Tomoyoshi Sasakawa
