Abstract

A system and method for recording on optical storage media utilize a beam projection assembly including a collimating lens and an objective lens. By providing an incident light beam having a substantially constant energy distribution to the objective lens, the radius of the spot projected on the optical media having an intensity greater than a threshold intensity may be increased. The radius may be further decreased by modifying the optics of the objective lens, typically by providing a center stop plate on the lens or by providing a one-half wavelength plate on the lens.
