ABSTRACT:
An information readout method for an optical information medium comprising an information recording layer having pits or recorded marks representative of information data involves the step of irradiating a laser beam to the information recording layer through an objective lens for providing readings of the pits or recorded marks. When the laser beam has a wavelength λ of 400 to 410 nm, the objective lens has a numerical aperture NA of 0.70 to 0.85, and the pits or recorded marks have a minimum size PLof up to 0.36λ/NA, readout is carried out at a power Pr of at least 0.4 mW for the laser beam. When the laser beam has a wavelength λ of 630 to 670 nm, the objective lens has a numerical aperture NA of 0.60 to 0.65, and the pits or recorded marks have a minimum size PLof up to 0.36λ/NA, readout is carried out at a power Pr of at least 1.0 mW for the laser beam. Pits or recorded marks of a size approximate to the resolution limit determined by diffraction can be read out at a high C/N.
