Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize high density and high capacity in optical recording medium by irradiating a same recording surface with a plurality of laser beams having different focus diameters and comparing signals reproduced from reflected light/transmitted light of the laser beam each other. CONSTITUTION:Laser beams 3, 4 emitted from laser light sources 1, 2 pass through a half mirror and collected through a focus lens 6 onto a recording medium 7. Wavelengths of the laser light sources 1, 2 are set at 530nm and 670nm and the laser beam reflected on the recording medium 7 is further reflected on the half mirror 5 thence enters into optical detectors 8, 9. The optical detectors are split, respectively, into two sections 8a, 8b and 9a, 9b. Reproduced pulses 10, 11, 12, 13 are amplified through amplifiers 14, 15, 16, 17 and then subjected to signal processing through adders 18, 19 and subtractors 20, 21. Since alignment between a recording mark and the laser beam can be detected through zero-cross detectors 22, 23, reproduced signal levels 26, 27 are read out at that timing through sample & hold level detectors 24, 25.

2. Description of the Related Art For example, an optical disk device has been put into practical use as an information reproducing device for reproducing information by using a laser beam. In the information reproducing apparatus, a recording mark on an information recording medium is irradiated with laser light, and a change in the amount of reflected light or transmitted light or rotation of a polarization plane is detected and converted into digital signal or analog signal information. Recording marks such as compact discs, video discs, and CD-ROMs are formed beforehand as irregularities on an information recording medium by a stamper method. On the other hand, in a write-once or rewritable optical disk or optical card, a minute area of a recording film is irradiated with laser light to generate an optically readable recording mark. For example, those that irradiate laser light to form holes in the recording film (drilling recording), those that change the direction of magnetization (magneto-optical recording), those that cause a crystalline-amorphous phase change (phase change recording). ) Is known. To reproduce information, there are a method of detecting the position of the recording mark (presence or absence of the recording mark) and a method of detecting the edge of the recording mark (length and interval of the recording mark).

In order to increase the recording / reproducing speed and the recording density on an information recording medium such as an optical disk, it is necessary to record the smallest possible recording marks at the shortest intervals and reproduce the recorded marks. However, since the reproduction resolution is limited by the convergent diameter of the laser beam, if the size or interval of the recording marks is set to be half the convergent diameter of the reproducing laser beam or less, it becomes difficult to separate and read the information. Therefore,
In order to reproduce information accurately, it is impossible to reduce the size and interval of recording marks to any extent. Here, the convergent diameter W of the laser light means the laser light of the wavelength λ and the numerical aperture NA.
When the focusing lens of 1 is used, it can be estimated that W = 0.82 × λ / NA. This is because the laser light intensity is 1 / e
The diameter is 2 .

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention uses the following means. (1) In the method of reproducing information by irradiating an information recording medium with a laser beam, a plurality of laser beams having different convergent diameters are irradiated on the same recording surface, and reflected light or transmitted light of each laser beam is irradiated.

The method of using both the laser beams having different wavelengths and the focusing lenses having different numerical apertures in combination is preferable because it is possible to select an arbitrary convergent diameter of the laser beam which is convenient for reproduction. Further, the method of using laser beams having different wavelengths is desirable when performing access at high speed, for example, because the number of focus lenses can be reduced and the optical head can be made lighter. On the other hand, the method of using focusing lenses having different numerical apertures is desirable, for example, when using a laser light source of short wavelength. This is because the laser light source generally becomes more expensive or larger as the wavelength becomes shorter.

Even if the same recording mark is used, if the convergent diameter of the laser light to be irradiated is different, the reproduction signal level obtained from the reflected light or the transmitted light differs depending on the convergent diameter of the laser light. Further, the recording mark diameter dependency and the recording mark dependency of the reproduction signal level differ depending on the converged diameter of the laser light. Therefore, by irradiating a plurality of laser beams having different convergent diameters and comparing the reproduction signal levels of the two laser beams, even if there are variations in the reflectance and the transmittance of the recording medium, the accurate size and spacing of the recording marks can be determined. You can get information. further,

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 shows the recording mark diameter dependence of the reproduction signal intensity when laser beams having wavelengths of 530 nm and 670 nm are irradiated. For the reproduction signal intensity, the reflectance obtained from the unrecorded portion is R (0), the reflectance obtained when the center of the laser beam coincides with the center of the recording mark is R (1), and (R (0)
It was defined as -R (1)) / R (0). That is, the signal strength is the reflectance change due to the presence of the recording mark,
This is expressed based on the reflectance of the unrecorded portion. The numerical aperture of the focusing lens is 0.60. The recording marks include
There was a phase difference of λ / 2 in the round trip. As shown in the figure, 5
The laser beam with a wavelength of 30 nm and the laser beam with a wavelength of 670 nm have different mark diameter dependences of the reproduction signal intensity. The mark diameter that maximizes the reproduction signal intensity is 0.44 μm at 530 nm and 670 nm.
Then, it is 0.55 μm. Also, the mark diameter is 0.48 μm
Then, the magnitude relationship between the reproduction signal strengths of the both is reversed. For example, even if the reflectance of the recording medium changes, the magnitude relationship of the reproduction signal strength does not change.

FIG. 2 shows a part of the optical system and the reproduction signal processing circuit used in this embodiment. The respective laser beams 3 and 4 from the laser light sources 1 and 2 pass through the half mirror 5 and are focused on the recording medium 7 by the focusing lens 6. Here, the wavelengths of the laser light sources 1 and 2 are 530 nm and 670 n, respectively.

In FIG. 3, the diameter is 0.3 as shown in FIG.
The reproduced signal levels read from the recording marks of 8 μm, 0.44 μm, 0.48 μm and 0.52 μm are shown. The figure (b) is the value read with a 530 nm laser beam, the figure (c) is the value read with a 670 nm laser beam,
The figure (d) is the value calculated as (b)-(c). In both cases, the amount of reflected light from the unrecorded portion is 1. As shown in the figure, by using the reproduction signal level of (d), it is possible to discriminate the recording marks of four sizes shown in (a) of the figure. Five-valued information can be reproduced by setting "0" when not recorded and "1", "2", "3", and "4" in ascending order of recording marks. About 2.3 in the case of conventional binary recording

By increasing the combination of the wavelength of the laser light and the numerical aperture of the focusing lens, it is possible to reproduce information having a higher degree of multivalue. In this case, it is preferable to select so that the converged diameters of the laser light differ greatly. For example, the combination shown in Table 1 can be selected.

According to the present invention, since multi-valued information can be reproduced from the size and interval of recording marks, it is possible to increase the density and capacity of the optical recording medium. In addition, since the density of the laser beam in the scanning direction (track direction in the optical disk) increases, the data transfer rate increases. Further, it is not necessary to form the reference mark in advance, and the formation of recording marks having different sizes and intervals can be easily realized even by using the conventional optical recording medium, so that an inexpensive optical recording medium can be used.
