- MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF OPTICAL RECORDING METHOD
- the present invention uses an optical recording medium filter suitably used as a wavelength selective reflection film in a hologram type optical recording medium capable of recording an unprecedented high-density image, and the optical recording medium filter.
- the present invention relates to an optical recording medium, a method of manufacturing the optical recording medium, and an optical recording method and an optical reproducing method using the optical recording medium.
- An optical recording medium is one of recording media capable of writing a large amount of information such as high-density image data.
- this optical recording medium for example, a rewritable optical recording medium such as a magneto-optical disk and a phase change type optical disk, and a write-once optical recording medium such as a CD-R, which are already in practical use, can be further used
- the demand for large capacity is increasing.
- all conventionally proposed optical recording media are two-dimensional recording, and there is a limit to increasing the recording capacity. Therefore, recently, a hologram type optical recording medium capable of recording information three-dimensionally has attracted attention.
- the hologram-type optical recording medium generally includes information light provided with a two-dimensional intensity distribution, and the information light and reference light having a substantially constant intensity superposed inside a photosensitive recording layer. Information is recorded by generating a distribution of optical characteristics inside the recording layer using the interference pattern formed by them. On the other hand, when reading (reproducing) the written information, the recording layer is irradiated with only the reference light in the same arrangement as during recording, and the reproduction has an intensity distribution corresponding to the optical characteristic distribution formed inside the recording layer. Light is emitted from the recording layer as light. In this hologram type optical recording medium, the optical characteristic distribution is three-dimensionally formed in the recording layer, so that the area where information is written by one information light and the information is written by other information light.
- a servo pit pattern 3 is provided on the surface of the lower substrate 1, and a reflective film 2 made of aluminum or the like is provided on the surface of the servo pit pattern.
- a recording layer 4 on the reflective film and an upper substrate 5 on the recording layer see Patent Document 2.
- the optical recording medium 20 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 has a problem that the servo zone and the recording zone are separated in the plane, and the recording density is halved accordingly.
- Patent Document 3 circularly polarized light is used as information light and reference light, a cholesteric liquid crystal layer or dichroic mirror as a filter layer is provided between the recording layer and the reflective film, and the recording layer and the servo layer are made thick. Overlapping in the direction. This technique doubles the recording density.
- a single-layer cholesteric liquid crystal layer having a spiral structure having the same rotation direction as that of the circularly polarized light of information light is used as the filter layer, it is excellent in productivity and enables mass production of optical recording media at low cost.
- the filter effect at 0 ° incidence is good.
- this proposal when the incident angle changes, the selective reflection wavelength shifts.
- the incident light When the incident light is tilted by 10 ° or more, the information light and the reference light pass through the filter layer and reach the reflection film and are reflected. Arise. This means that it cannot be used for the incident light of the lens optical system in a normal optical recording medium of ⁇ 10 ° or more that is narrowed by the lens.
- a hologram capable of preventing the occurrence of noise by preventing irregular reflection from the reflection film of the optical recording medium by the information light and the reference light without causing a shift in the selective reflection wavelength even when the incident angle changes. It has not yet been realized to mass-produce optical recording media of the same type efficiently and at low cost, and it is desired to provide them promptly.
- Patent Document 1 JP 2002-123949 A
- Patent Document 2 JP-A-11 311936
