The light beam must focus a high density of energy onto the microsurface species and is typically made of argon (Ar).
Gas laser light such as helium neon (HeNe) or gallium aluminium arsenide (GaAlAs)
A semiconductor laser is used. Ar and HeNe laser light is visible light with wavelengths of 488 nm and 633 nm, and semiconductor laser light is near-infrared light with wavelengths of 780 to 850 nm. Further, Ar and HeNe laser beams have large outputs of 1 to 10 W and 50 mW, respectively, but require a modulator because the laser tube size is large and the laser beam output cannot be directly modulated by the recording information signal. Therefore, optical information recording and reproducing devices using Ar or HeNe lasers have the disadvantage of being large.
On the other hand, semiconductor lasers are small in size and can directly modulate the laser output with a recording signal, but the output is
Small at 25mW. On the other hand, for the information recording film, metals such as tellurium (Te) and bismuth (Bi), organic and inorganic dyes and pigments, and metal-organic composites are used. Among these, dyes and pigments absorb visible light with a wavelength of 450 to 750 nm, and few absorb near-infrared light with a wavelength of 750 nm or more, such as in semiconductor laser light. Therefore, when recording information by irradiating a semiconductor laser beam onto an optical information recording medium that has a recording film mainly composed of dyes or pigments, the light beam energy required for recording is low because the laser light absorption of the recording film is small. The disadvantage is that it becomes large.

The inventors of the present invention have previously proposed an organic dye-containing recording film optical disk in Patent Application No. 57-192273, which eliminates these drawbacks and uses semiconductor laser light to record information with low light beam energy. . The optical disc was characterized in that the recording film contained naphthol green B and polyvinyl alcohol. However, since the dye naphthol green B and polyvinyl alcohol contained in the recording film of such a disk are both water-soluble, when exposed to a high humidity environment, the dye or resin dissolves, making it impossible to record information. The disadvantage is that it becomes impossible to read information that has already been recorded.

When an auxochrome with a bathochromic effect is introduced into Pigment Green B, the maximum absorption wavelength is shifted to the long wavelength side, which is the wavelength range of semiconductor laser light from 780~
Can increase light absorption at 850nm. Therefore, by using Pigment Green B, which is insoluble in water, as a laser light-absorbing pigment, and further mixing it with a water-insoluble resin having a hydroxyl group (OH group), which is an auxochrome that exhibits the bathochromic effect, pigment By moving the maximum absorption wavelength of green B to the longer wavelength side, it is possible to increase the absorption of semiconductor laser light. Since Pigment Green B and the water-insoluble resin are both insoluble in water, the pigment and resin do not elute even in a humid environment, and the above-mentioned disadvantage of impairing information recording and reproduction can be overcome. Moreover, since the light absorption rate of Pigment Green B in the wavelength range of semiconductor laser light is increased by the OH groups in the resin, information can be recorded and reproduced with small light beam energy.
