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 (19)

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%,

wherein 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, and

wherein said recording layer is recorded with information modulated as a record mark of which shortest length is 0.40 μm.

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%,

wherein 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, and

wherein said recording layer is recorded with information modulated as a record mark of which shortest mark length is 0.40 μm,

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

wherein a wavelength of the laser beam is 650 nm, and

wherein a numerical aperture of the objective lens is 0.6.

3. A recording method for recording 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%,

wherein 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,

said recording method recording information on said recording layer as a recording mark by irradiating a laser beam stopped down by an objective lens on said recording layer,

wherein said information is modulated as a record mark of which shortest mark length is 0.40 μm and recorded on said recording layer.
