1. US20060280071 - Recorder, a disc and a method for recording information on a disc

When recording information in tracks or in a two-dimensional pattern care must be taken not to irradiate the adjacent tracks or pits. This results in a loss of data density on the recording medium because of the track pitch or pit distance that must be observed. A reduction in track pitch is possible to the point where the focused spot of the laser also irradiates the adjacent land area and tracks or pits. This increases the achievable data density of the recording medium. By using grooves and/or by using a dye with special absorption characteristics the effect of the irradiation of the adjacent tracks or pits can be reduced, effectively only recording marks in the desired location.
