Phthalocyanine dyes with various central metal atoms and different substituents showing improved spectroscopic properties to match the output of GaAs diode-laser have been synthesized. Smooth thin films have been prepared by spin- coating technique. Solvent-vapor induced crystallization of VOPc(OC3H7)4 has also been studied. The results showed that the VOPc(OC3H7)4 primarily deposited on glass substrate as an amorphous form. However, the dyes were changed to crystalline form by exposure to appropriate solvent vapors. The polymorphs of the VOPc(OC3H7)4 were investigated by visible absorption and IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy. The optical recording performances of the thin films were also reported.

This paper brings in focus the quality control issues during data handling in the CD production process. By warning for the problems that can occur at different points in the production chain, many costly, damaging and time-consuming errors can be prevented. Errors can happen anywhere along the line at various points and logistic interfaces. So it is important to identify what can go wrong from the authoring/pre-mastering stage all the way to shipping the final product to the customer.

The enormous success of the CD-ROM has led to development of the CD-Recordable format and has resulted in a dramatic change in its market position. The CD-R media were introduced in the market place several years ago. The first media had stability problems. Since then, a series of improvements were developed, although incomplete, have resulted in the use of a wide variety of applications, in particular, CD-ROM editing. These applications favour higher data transfer speeds than that used for testing as defined in the Red Book. Recording higher than double the speed as defined in the Red Book creates both technological and compatibility problems. For that reason the CD-R standard, as described in the Orange Book, initially deals with single (lx) and double (2x)recording speeds.

A great variety of reversible phase change optical recording materials have been extensively investigated. These alloy films are mainly composed of the IV-VI group (GeTe) and V group (Sb) in the periodic table. For achieving fast crystallization and stable cyclic operation, the excess Sb component of pseudo ternary alloy of GeTe-Sb2Te3-Sb has been investigated. At the melt-quenched process from the crystalline to the amorphous phase, the problem is to know if the laser pulse is essentially heating the sample which simply melts or if the electron-hole pairs created by the laser generate a new fluidlike state. The research on the electron-phonon interaction has shown that if a certain fraction of the valence-band electrons are excited into the conduction band, then the frequency of TA phonon, responsible for the stability of the crystal, goes to zero and crystal should become fluid. On the other hand, thin film surface becomes unstable before the bulk and the process of melting consists in the unstable surface at the film thickness of 10 - 50 nm. The inclusion of surface effects that self-consistently accounts for anharmonicity reduces the temperature at which an instability occurs. Both effects of electron-phonon instability and surface instability reduced the melting temperature of the phase change optical memory materials cooperatively. Therefore, the phase change optical disk is stable for the cyclic operation of 106 - 107.

A cyanine-in-polymer film was prepared by spin-coating process on pregrooved polycarbonate substrate, and its optical storage performance was studied. The reflectance and absorbance of the film at 830 nm wavelength are high enough for optical storage. With optimum recording condition, 58 dB of carrier-to-noise ratio was obtained for single layer disk. Both of carrier-to-noise ratio and carrier signal level are proportional to log of the reflectivity change of the film before and after laser recording.

Mastering refers to the process of forming the original pattern for replicating structures to provide the specified opto-electronic signals. Several technologies have been explored since the start of the optical storage industry. Mechanical cutting, as used in the conventional audio industry, turned out to be unpractical. Mastering dynamics could be best reached by laser beam recording. Literature reveals two types of possible processes for laser beam recording; photo-resist based and non-photoresist (ablative) based technology. The photo-resist technology is based upon a process using well established lithographic technologies. The master disc is composed of a glass substrate on which a layer of photo-resist material has been applied. The submicron sized portions of this photo-resist layer, exposed by the focused laser beam, give the requested opto-electronic structure after development and rinsing of the master substrate. The photo-resist based process is a microscopically localized process. The pit shape depends on the exposure of that area only and no contributions from adjacent spot positions are present. The photo-resist process has proven flexibility towards a large variety of groove and pit shapes. The final pit structure is controlled during the development process by pit-formation monitoring. Non photo-resist mastering deals with forming structures by local heating of specific areas of a substrate covered with an ablative material. The pit formation and the shape of the pit depend strongly on the temperature profile. This pit-formation process depends not only on the (heat) exposure of the laser beam for that given minute portion but also on the heat flow from neighbouring areas. If a nearby area has just been heated, heat will diffuse to that given area and cause a different pit shape. This highly unwanted phenomenon is known in optical recordable systems as "inter symbol interference". In order to prevent uncontrolled pit formation due to this interference from adjacent pits, complex write strategies have to be used. These write strategies are strongly dependent on recording speeds, layer thickness, spot quality and layer quality. In order to certify the performance of this process for its pit characteristics, the pit formation has to be verified by a second read beam. This read laser adds to the systems complexity while its reliability has to be certified systematically. This explains why more complex pit structures, e.q. MO, are preferably realized by the photoresist mastering process.
