Abstract:
1. A reproducing apparatus for an optically detectable information recording medium comprising at least a substrate, a recording layer, and a resin layer, wherein the surface of said recording layer in contact with said resin layer has a Root Mean Square roughness Rσ of less than 5 nm, said reproducing apparatus at least comprising: a turntable for holding said information recording medium; a motor connected to said turntable for making said turntable move relatively; a light pickup for engraving light on said information recording medium and for receiving reflected light from said information recording medium, wherein said light pickup is at least composed of a laser omitting light at single wavelength between 370 to 430 nm and a photo detector; a demodulator for demodulating a signal from said light pickup and for transmitting a demodulated signal to an interface; a servo controller for generating a focus servo signal to drive said light pickup and a tracking servo signal; an interface for transmitting said demodulated signal from said demodulator externally; and a controller for controlling said motor, servo controller, and interface.
