摘要:
Reproduction on an optical recording medium having plural information layers involves the problem of distortion occurring due to interlayer crosstalk and hence deterioration in the quality of a readout signal. At a predetermined radius, a correction coefficient for correcting the amount of fluctuation components is calculated from a readout signal with distortion due to the interlayer crosstalk, and then is stored. The stored correction coefficient is used to eliminate crosstalk components and to correct readout signal fluctuation during reproduction on a predetermined area. In this way, the original readout signal without interlayer crosstalk components can be obtained, so that good-quality reproduction characteristics can be achieved.

Regarding a signal recorded with a first frequency in a recording area on a specific first recording layer (1203) and a signal recorded with a second frequency different from the first frequency in a recording area on a second recording layer (1204) which might cause interlayer crosstalk in relation to the first recording layer (1203), a reproducing signal measurement method for a multilayer optical recording medium having at least three recording layers (101,102,103,104,105,106) includes reproducing the signal recorded in the recording area on the first recording layer (S1103), separating signals recorded respectively with the first and second frequencies (S1104), discriminating signal amplitude of the first frequency and a maximum value in signal amplitude of the second frequency (S1105), and calculating a signal amplitude ratio between them to measure interlayer crosstalk contained in the signal reproduced from the recording area on the first recording layer (S1106). Thus, the interlayer crosstalk quantity caused by unnecessary light can be measured quantitatively.

An optical disk includes groove tracks (270,272) consisting of a plurality of grooves mutually space apart by a fixed space, and land tracks (271,273) consisting of the areas between the groove tracks, wherein the period of wobbling waveforms of the borders (14,15) between the groove tracks and the land tracks 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. Information is detected by using a predetermined relation between the the information and the changes in said phase shift.

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.
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 magnetic field of a polarity corresponding to information to be recorded is applied while a recording spot having a high energy is irradiated to a magneto-optical recording medium (1) to record domains representing the information along a track. The recorded domains (106) are read out by a reproducing spot having a lower energy than the recording spot and a high resolution power along the track.

The magneto-optical recording medium (1) is made of a recording film having a multi-layer structure (101 - 103) of alternate lamination of metal layers and dielectric layers.
