Popis: We attempted to improve phase change media to achieve larger capacity for systems with blue lasers using numerical apertures (NA) of both 0.85 and 0.65. It was found that the Bi-added GeTe-rich pseudo-binary composition promised high erase ratio even when we did not use any interface layers on a recording layer. The use of an absorption control layer (ACL) was also attempted to suppress the cross erase (XE). It was found that the ACL was very effective in suppressing the XE. The advanced phase change media that used the above novel technologies showed good analog performance. The advanced media also showed bER of less than 1.0×10-4, promising 18 GB capacity for an NA of 0.65 and 30 GB capacity for an NA of 0.85.
