Abstract

In an optical disk including at least a rewritable phase change material and comprising a recording layer having a reflectivity of more than 15%, an address output value as an address pit signal component occupying in a reproduced signal in a non recording state is prescribed to be 0.18 though 0.27 or a numerical aperture of an address pit signal occupying in a reproduced signal in a non recording state is prescribed to be more than 0.3.

Claims (11)

1. An optical information recording medium comprising:

a substrate formed with an area having sinusoidally deflected grooves and address pits scattered and allocated between said grooves, and

a recording layer having reflectivity of more than 15%,

said optical information recording medium is further characterized in that an output value of address pit as a signal component of address pit occupying in a reproduced signal under a not recorded condition in said area is within a range of 0.18 to 0.27.

2. A reproducing method for reproducing an optical information recording medium, said optical information recording medium comprising:

a substrate formed with an area having sinusoidally deflected grooves and address pits scattered and allocated between said grooves, and

a recording layer having reflectivity of more than 15%,

said optical information recording medium is further characterized in that an output value of address pit as a signal component of address pit occupying in a reproduced signal under a not recorded condition in said area is within a range of 0.18 to 0.27,

wherein said reproducing method reproduces an optical information recording medium by irradiating a laser beam stopped down by an objective lens on said recording layer.

3. The reproducing method for reproducing an optical information recording medium in accordance with claim 2 , wherein reflectivity of a recording layer is within a range of 18 to 30%.

4. The optical information recording medium in accordance with claim 1 , wherein reflectivity of a recording layer is within a range of 18 to 30%.
