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 (12)

1. An optical information recording medium comprising:

a substrate formed with an area having sinusoidally deflected grooves,

a recording layer being recordable by a laser beam, and

a transmission layer having a thickness of 0.1 mm,

wherein the recording layer is composed of a rewritable layer including a phase change material and an optical reflective layer of which heat transfer characteristic is adjusted.

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,

a recording layer being recordable by a laser, beam, and

a transmission layer having a thickness of 0.1 mm,

wherein the recording layer is composed of a rewritable layer including a phase change material and an optical reflective layer of which heat transfer characteristic is adjusted, and

wherein said reproducing method reproduces an optical information recording medium by irradiating a laser beam on said recording layer, through said transmission layer as a light path and reproduces said optical information recording medium by the CLV (constant linear velocity) method.

3. The optical information recording medium claimed in claim 1 , wherein said optical reflective layer includes at least one of aluminum, gold and silver.
