<title>Groove-only recording under DVR conditions</title>

Abstract

We developed a groove-only rewritable disc for the DVR system with a blue laser diode (wavelength 405 nm). Using standard detection electronics we obtained a capacity of 23.3 GB. Higher capacities are possible with advanced detection methods. Wide system margins are obtained at 320 nm track pitch and 80 nm channel-bit length. Fast-growth materials are used for the active layer. No thermal cross-write effect is present in the central track when neighboring tracks are repeatedly rewritten.
