Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain the real time record/reproduction with high S/N by laminating a reflection layer, a light transmitting material and a metallic thin film successively on a substrate. CONSTITUTION:A reflective thin film 14 containing at least one of metal such as Au, Al, Bi, In and semiconductor mainly is formed on a glass or plastics substrate 1. A single or composite film 15 containing a light transmitting material is formed on the film 14, and a recording material thin film 2 containing at least one of metals such as Au, Ta and a semiconductor is formed on the film 15. A laser light fulx 5 delivered from a laser light source 4 is converted into parallel light fluxes by a lens 6 and stopped down on the film 2 in the form of microspots by a semitransparent mirror 7 and a lens 8. Thus a hole 3 is formed and therefore the film 14 is exposed to the laser light flux which is made incident when the information is reproduced. The reflected light flux is detected by two photodetectors 16 and 17, and a differential output 19 is obtained by a differential amplifier 18. As a result, the noise components produced by the recessing/ projecting surface of the film 2 are offset.

Conventionally, optical disk memories have been known that optically record video information, audio information, or digital information in real time and reproduce it immediately. The structure of the information recording medium used in this optical disk memory is as shown in FIG. 1, in which a thin film 2 of recording material is formed on a substrate 1 made of glass or plastic. The recording material thin film is usually Au, Aj, O.
A thin film of gold to S layer such as R, Bi or a chalcogen glass material thin film of 20 to 100 nm thick is used, and the laser beam is transmitted on this thin film. Diameter 0.5
Holes (holes) 3 are formed thermally by narrowing down to a minute spot of ~2 μm, and information is recorded based on the distribution of the holes.

That is, the laser beam 5 from the laser light source 4 has an output (1 to 2 mW) that is approximately 1/10 that of information recording, and is converted into a parallel beam by the lens 6 on the rear transparent mirror 7. A recording material thin film 2 having holes 3 is guided by a diaphragm lens 8 . guided by the thin film 2. The reflected light flux from the thin film 2 is guided to a photodetector 9, and the hole 3 is detected depending on the magnitude of the reflected light amplitude, resulting in an output signal 10. However, this type of information recording medium has a problem in that the laser light is scattered by the fine irregularities on the recording material thin film 2, and noise is mixed into the output signal 10, reducing the S/N ratio. In order to solve this problem, as shown in FIG. 3, the depth above the substrate 11 is -(2m+1), m=0.

In addition, in FIG. 6f, 5 reflective film 14 and recording material thin film 2
By replacing the positions of the two, it is possible to obtain a recording medium that can also record information that can be used for laser beam incidence from the substrate 1 side. In this case, the thickness of the substrate l is usually about 1 mm, and the thickness of the recording material thin film 2 is 2 to 50 nm.
It will be about m. Particularly in the range 3-15 nm, e.g.
It is preferable to further provide a protective layer and/or a protective plate on the 0-reflection film 14, which preferably has a thickness of nm. For example, the protective layer is an epoxy adhesive, and the protective plate is a chemically strengthened glass plate with a thickness of 1 mm.
