Abstract
Energy-gap-induced super-resolution (EG-SR) technology has been developed for high-density optical discs with a high readout stability using a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film. ZnO film indicated a thermal change in optical properties. By applying these effects to a read-only-memory (ROM) disc, we obtained a linear bit density twofold that of conventional ROM discs in our experimental optical pickup system with a 404-nm-wavelength laser and a 0.85-numerical-aperture (NA) objective lens. In this study, we report an optical disc technology that enables super-resolution readout of data pits in a dual-layer structure by employing a transparent ZnO super-resolution functional film.
