The Phase Change Optical Disc with the Data Recording Rate of 140 Mbps

Abstract

We have been developing a new phase change optical disc on the base of the recording system (DVR) with a blue laser (405 nm) and dual objective lens with a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.85. We have achieved the data recording rate of 140 Mbps. The significant techniques to achieve the recording rate as follows: rearrangement of the AgInSbTeGe composition for the rate of 140 Mbps and controlling the re-crystallization by SRC structure (the super-rapid cooling structure) and development of Write Strategy for the high data recording. As a result of the techniques, less than 10% jitter value and more than 1,000 times overwriting possibility at 140 Mbps have been achieved.
