Publication number: 20120196077Abstract: [Object] To enable stable void recording to be performed with lower power than in a case where a conventional void (hole) recording method is adopted. [Solving Means] Provided is an optical recording medium including a recording layer in which a plurality of boundary surfaces of resin layers are formed, and intervals of the boundary surfaces are set to be equal to or smaller than a focal depth of recording light. A recording sensitivity of hole marks is enhanced at the boundary surfaces of the resin layers. Therefore, by providing the recording layer in which the boundary surfaces are provided at intervals equal to or smaller than the focal depth of recording light as described above, that is, the recording layer is practically filled with the boundary surfaces, the hole mark recording sensitivity of the recording layer can be enhanced as a whole.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2010Publication date: August 2, 2012Applicant: Sony CorporationInventors: Tetsuhiro Sakamoto, Hirotaka Miyamoto, Yoshihiro Takemoto, Hisayuki Yamatsu

Patent number: 7648671Abstract: The method of the present invention includes an exposing step in which a laser beam for recording modulated by an information signal corresponding to an information signal of an information concave and convex pattern formed on the optical disc is applied to an inorganic resist layer 101 formed on a substrate 100 to form an exposed pattern corresponding to the information concave and convex pattern on the optical disc, and a development step in which a concave and convex pattern corresponding to the information concave and convex pattern by the inorganic resist layer is formed. By applying a laser beam for estimation to a predetermined area on the inorganic resist layer in the exposing step to estimate recorded signal characteristics of the exposed pattern by the inorganic resist layer using reflected light of the laser beam for estimation, and controlling power of the laser beam for recording based on the estimated result, the aimed information recording on the optical disc can reliably be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2003Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Shinichi Kai, Akira Kouchiyama, Katsuhisa Aratani, Kenzo Nakagawa, Yoshihiro Takemoto
