Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information recording method which can form marks of which rear end shapes are made the same regardless of the number of recording pulses. SOLUTION: The power of a laser beam for irradiation is set to be three levels being the first to the third levels in the increasing order of the power level. The laser power is set to the second level at first when information is recorded and the shortest mark is recorded by one recording pulse of the third level and one cooling pulse of the first level which is radiated immediately after the foregoing pulse. The marks except the shortest mark are recorded by a plurality of recording pulses consisting of a leading pulse having a width being the same as that of the recording pulse when the shortest pulse is recorded and of a cooling pulse being shorter than the leading pulse and by a cooling pulse to be radiated immediately after the last pulse of the recording pulses. The width of the cooling pulse is changed in accordance with that of the recording pulse radiated immediately before the cooling pulse.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of recording information on a phase-change type optical disk, a method of producing a stable crystalline state and an amorphous state and recording information based on a difference in reflectance is used. Here, the crystalline state is obtained by elevating the temperature of the recording film above the crystallization temperature and slowly cooling it,
The amorphous state can be obtained by raising the temperature of the recording film above its melting point and rapidly cooling it.

[0004] In this method, the power of the laser beam is set in three stages. In the recording area, a high power laser pulse for melting the recording film is applied by a number corresponding to the length of the recording signal, and then the laser beam is reduced to a low laser power. This is a method of dropping and cooling to an amorphous state, and in other cases, irradiating a laser having a power for crystallization temperature to a crystalline state to record information.

However, when information is recorded on a phase-change type optical disk using this method, when the shortest mark becomes 0.6 μm or less when the leading pulse is longer than the multi-pulse, the shortest time is particularly short. When a mark is recorded with one pulse and when a mark longer than that is recorded with two or more pulses, the shape of the trailing end of the mark changes. This has a significant effect, for example, at the time of high-density recording in the mark edge recording method, and causes a problem that a reproduced signal corresponding to a recording signal cannot be obtained.

As a result of various studies conducted by the present inventor, the cause of the change in the shape of the trailing end of the mark is that when the mark is formed, particularly when the leading pulse length is longer than the multi-pulse length. It was found that the reason is that the cooling process of the recording film differs depending on the mark. On the other hand, when the head pulse width and the multi-pulse width were made equal to make the cooling process almost equal, the shortest mark length became shorter than the predetermined length.

Pw was set to 12 mW, Pe to 6 mW, and Pr to 0.5 mW, and a random pattern was used as a recording pattern. The width of the cooling pulse for each mark length is shown in the table below (see Comparative Example).

And it got worse. FIG. 3 shows the difference from the ideal value for each mark length. This is considered to be because the shape of the trailing end of the mark is different, and the cooling process of the recording film is different depending on the mark.
