    摘要: A power level is applied to a laser that heats a heat-assisted recording medium is increased during recording for a plurality of iterations. Each iteration involves writing test data to a plurality of sequential tracks of the recording medium using the power level and determining bit error rates of the test data. Based on the bit error rates of the iterations, a power boost profile is determined. The power boost profile starts at a baseline level at a first track of a plurality of sequentially-written tracks, incrementally increases to a steady-state level over a first portion of the tracks, and remains at the steady-state level over subsequent ones of the tracks. The power boost profile is applied to the laser when recording to the recording medium.

    摘要: An optical information recording medium has: a recording layer; a super-resolution functional layer; and a protective layer. Letting n be the refractive index of the protective layer with respect to a laser beam focused by a focusing optical system, λ, be the wavelength of the laser beam, and ds be the depth of recording marks, when the super-resolution functional layer is irradiated by the focused laser beam, it forms a focused light spot including central light that irradiates the recording marks and peripheral light that irradiates a region outside the central light. The optical information recording medium further satisfies either the condition that the central light has a positive phase difference with respect to the peripheral light and ds>λ/4n, or the condition that the central light has a negative phase difference with respect to the peripheral light and ds

    摘要: In one embodiment of the present invention, an optical pickup for writing and reading data on an optical storage medium comprises a diffractive element for diffracting a light beam to split it into multiple light beams. The diffracted light beams includes a zero-order diffracted light beam for writing data on a track of the land or the groove of the optical storage medium and non-zero-order diffracted light beams for reading the data from the track. The diffractive element has first and second diffraction gratings that have mutually different grating vector directions and pitches. The first diffraction grating forms light beam spots on the same track by the non-zero-order and zero-order diffracted light beams. The second diffraction grating forms a light beam spot to extend to both sides of said track, or forms a light beam spot on one side of said track, by the non-zero-order diffracted light beams.
