Abstract:The optical disc with larger capacity and higher speed data recording rate will be required in coming broadband network society. We have developed the inorganic write-once disc with quadruple recording layers for the blu-ray disc system. We obtained the reflectivity of more than 5 % and a jitter value of less than 10% for each recording layer. As a result, we proved the possibility of 100 GB user capacity of 120 mm diameter size.
“…The calculated reflectivity for several numbers of layers is summarized in Table 1. These values are consistent with the previous reports of multi-layer discs [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”

“…Currently, write-once discs with up to six layers (200 Gbytes) and read-only memory (ROM) discs up to twenty-layers (500 Gbytes) have been demonstrated [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, multilayer recording suffers from a serious decrease in signal level, which causes an insufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).…”
We experimentally demonstrated improvement in optical disc readout signal quality by homodyne detection. We introduced an optical phase servo system as an alternative to the phase-diversity detection scheme for stabilization of the interference signal in homodyne detection, which resulted in further enhancement of readout signal quality. Experimental results indicate that at least a 16-layer recordable disc can be reliably read out with a jitter of less than 8% at a 1-mW read power by homodyne detection. The estimated amplification of signal amplitude was 13 times.

“…Mishima, et al reported a write-once type quadrilayer recordable disc employing a high-transmissive ZnSiMg-O-S recording material for intervening layers. 5 Their quadrilayer structure, in contrast, was formed by spin-coated resin spacers.…”
High-density multilayer optical disc storage was investigated by employing advanced signal processing methods such as adaptive equalization and adaptive partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) detection. Preliminary experiments, recording on single-layer and dual-layer Blu-ray discs (BD), indicate storage capability of 33.3 GB/layer with adaptive 5-tap PRML. A new signal qualification method, sequenced amplitude margin quasi-error estimation (SAMQES), was introduced for high-density multilayer recording, and possibility toward a total storage capacity of 200 GB was examined by using a six-layer BD-Recordable disc. Despite coherent interlayer crosstalk and lower signal-to-noise ratio, SAMQES showed moderate increase from those in single-layer recording.
“…These days, many impressive results of technical candidates for the next-generation optical discs have been reported in this field. The technical candidates include volumetric storage technology, [1][2][3][4][5][6] near-field technology, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and multilayer technology, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20] which is a volumetric storage technology. Among them, multilayer technology has a lot of advantages such as storage capacity, backward compatibility, and system practicability, and so on.…”
We have developed an advanced radial position control system for a super multilayer disc with a separated guide layer to realize stable recording on the plane recording layers located far from the guide layer. The developed system consists of an advanced sled servo system and a specially designed optics based on the advanced push–pull method. Recorded signals on all recording layers were evaluated by using integrated-maximum likelihood sequence error estimation (i-MLSE) as the evaluation indicator. As a result, we confirmed sufficient recorded signal qualities and feasibility at the quad-speed continuous recording with a constant track pitch of 0.32 µm, the same as that of Blu-ray disc (BD). We believe that our proposed concept is the most practical solution for the next-generation optical disc system and our control system is essential to realize stable multilayer recording with a constant track pitch.
