摘要:
An information recording method for recording information by forming record marks (6) in a data region of a recording medium (8) such that the information corresponds to both ends of each of the record marks. First and second adjustment or guard regions (22, 25) are provided before and after the data region (23). The lengths of the first and second adjustment regions are changed with the start position of the first adjustment region being changed such that the position of the data region is shifted. In addition, when the same information is recorded a plurality of times, an array of record marks (6) recorded on the recording medium (8) in association with the information includes an array in which the record marks (6) and the spaces (7) between the marks are reversed each other in their positions.

A method of recording and reproducing information on/from a disk-shaped recording medium having a spiral or concentric groove wobbled in the radial direction of the disc includes the steps of generating a signal corresponding to the wobbled groove, and carrying out recording and reproduction with the use of a clock which has the frequency of the signal multiplied by an integer. An apparatus for recording and reproducing information on/from a disk-shaped recording medium having a spiral or concentric groove wobbled in the radial direction of the disc, said apparatus comprising a wobbling detection circuit and a clock generating means is also claimed.

In an optical disk recording medium having grooves (84) and lands (85) formed on a substrate and information recording areas formed in association with both the groove and the land, first prepit portions (833) representing VFO information and second prepit portions (834) representing address information are disposed on a virtual extensions of the boundaries between grooves (84) and lands (85), and the prepits are disposed to satisfy such requirements that the prepits are disposed on both sides of a virtual extension of the center line of a groove, that the prepits are disposed on both sides of a virtual extension of a center line of a land, that the prepits do not exist on both sides of a given position on the center line of the groove, and that the prepits do not exist on both sides of a given position on the center line of the land. When an optical spot scans a track, pits on either one side or the other are reproduced and crosstalk does not occur between adjacent tracks. Also claimed are an optical recording/reproducing apparatus and an optical recording/reproducing method in which the irradiation position (tracking) of an optical spot on such a medium is controlled on the basis of the amplitude of the VFO signal.

An optical disk comprising a substrate 4, and a plurality of tracks 269 to 273 formed on the substrate 4, wherein the plurality of tracks 269 to 273 include groove tracks 270, 272 consisting of a plurality of grooves mutually space apart by a fixed space, and land tracks 269, 271, 273 consisting of areas between the groove tracks, wherein the borders 14, 15 between the groove tracks and the land tracks represent information using the waveforms from their wobbling patterns, wherein the period of the wobbling waveforms of the borders 14, 15 are constant on each border, but the wobbling waveforms of the opposite portions of the borders across the track are shifted in phase by a predetermined phase difference.

In a magneto-optical disk for recording, reproduction or erasing with a laser beam, which comprises a film of four-layer structure consisting of a first dielectric layer (2), a magneto-optical recording layer (3), a second dielectric layer (4) and a metallic layer (5), laid on a disk substrate (1) provided with guide tracks, temperature distribution of the magneto-optical recording layer (3) is controlled by controlling the thermal diffusivity of the metallic layer (5), and recording/reproduction/erasing repetition characteristics are improved thereby. In the disk of the present structure, the temperature is elevated in a broader area from the center of laser beam, and thus a thoroughly broad erasing domain width taking a track offset into account can be obtained and not recording domains remain after the erasing. The reproduced signal output is increased by 4 dB, as compared with that obtained by a disk of three-layer structure without any metallic layer, because the beam utilization efficiency is increased owing to both Kerr effect and Faraday effect. When the disk of the present structure is subjected to field modulation recording, tails of arrow-feather-shaped recording domains peculiar to the field modulation recording can be shortened and interbit interferences can be overcome, resulting in an increase in C/N (S/N) ratio and the high density recording can be made. By endowing a Kerr enhancement action to the second dielectric layer (4) and a protective action on the magneto-optical layer (3) to the first dielectric layer (2), only the reliability can be improved without lowering the C/N ratio. By improving the corrosion resistance of the magneto-optical recording layer, the first dielectric layer (2) can be omitted to the contrary, and a magneto-optical disk of simple structure can be obtained and used as memory for domestic applications or communication fields.

Provided is an optical disc apparatus including an interference-type optical disk signal detection system, which allows an optical path difference between two kinds of light to be controlled easily, which has a high signal amplification effect, and which is suitable for miniaturization of an optical system. An interference-type optical system is integrally formed to stabilize an optical path difference between signal light and reference light. At the same time, means for controlling an optical path length of the reference light is attached to a reference mirror (114), and thereby controls signal amplitude so as to be constantly set the maximum in response to a change in the optical path length with time due to a variation in the thickness of a cover layer of an optical disk, a temperature and the like. Moreover, the optical system is miniaturized by using a Twyman-Green type interference optical system.
