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 grooves,

a recording layer being recordable by a laser beam, and

a transmission layer being transparent to a laser beam and having a thickness of 0.1 mm and having a refractive index,

wherein a push-pull signal output reproduced from grooves is more than 0.22.

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

a substrate formed with an area having grooves,

a recording layer being recordable by a laser beam, and

a transmission layer being transparent to a laser beam and having a thickness of 0.1 mm and having a refractive index,

wherein a push-pull signal output reproduced from grooves is more than 0.22, and

wherein said reproducing apparatus further comprises a laser, an objective lens and a 4 division photo detector.
