摘要:
An optical disk includes tracks and grooves, the grooves being formed with a pitch equal to or greater than about λ/NA. A first array of pits is provided at a position which is shifted by a predetermined amount with respect to each track in one of two directions substantially perpendicular to the tracks, the first array of pits being formed with a predetermined pitch, where the predetermined pitch is a function of a pitch of the grooves taking a value within a range from about 0 to about λ/NA. A second array of pits is provided at a position which is shifted by a predetermined amount with respect to the track in the other one of the two directions substantially perpendicular to the tracks, the second array of pits being formed with a predetermined pitch, where the predetermined pitch is a function of the pitch of the grooves taking a value within the range from about 0 to about λ/NA. λ is a wavelength of a light beam which is radiated on the optical disk, and NA is a numerical aperture of a lens.
a history determination step for determining whether or not a medium being cased and capable of being used for information recording and reproducing ,has previously been taken out from the case by using an identification section having historical information as to whether the medium has previously been taken out from the case or not ;and when a result of the determination shows that the medium has previously been taken out from the case ,
for verifying correctness of information after recorded or recording after verification of correctness of information always or on condition that a predetermined condition is satisfied ,or inhibiting the recording , if the medium is a first recording/reproducing information medium that is required to use a case at recording ,and for recording normally if the medium is a second recording/reproducing information medium that is not required to use a case at recording.
摘要:
An optical data recording method comprising the steps of: modulating data to be recorded, to generate a plurality of recording modulation codes, and emitting a pulsed light beam to an optical disc, so that predefined and selectable recording marks and spaces are recorded on the disc, the lengths of the recording marks and spaces being defined by the modulated data, wherein at least two of the plurality of the recording marks comprise: a first pulse which is disposed at the front and forms the leading edge of the recording mark; a last pulse which is disposed at the backend and forms the trailing edge of the recording mark; and a multi-pulse train which is disposed between the first pulse and the last pulse and forms the center of the recording mark, the multi-pulse train having a pulse period longer than T, T representing a reference period of the recording modulation code; the number of pulses in each of the recording marks is increased by one as the recording mark is increased in length by 2T, characterized in that the recording marks have different lengths differing by T or multiples thereof, and the shortest recording mark and the second shortest recording mark are constituted by a single pulse, and a corresponding device.

A recording medium comprising a recording area, wherein: the recording area includes a first area, the first area includes a fourth area (3103) including N number of frame areas, N being equal to or greater than 2, each of the N number of frame areas (F0 to F25) includes an area in which a synchronization code sequence (SY) and at least a portion of data (DATA) are to be recorded, characterised in that the synchronization code sequence (SY0) which is to be recorded in the frame area (F0) located at the start of the fourth area (3103) is different by a code distance equal to or greater than 2 in NRZI representation from any synchronization code sequence (SY) which is to be recorded in any of the frame areas (F1 to F25) of the fourth area (3103) other than the frame area (F0) located at the start of the fourth area (3103).
摘要:
A rewritable optical disk is disclosed which is compatible with a read-only optical disk in which a read-only area has tracks divided into a plurality of first sectors, signals being pre-recorded in at least one of these first sectors under a predetermined reproduction format. The rewritable optical disc comprises a read-only area located in an inner portion in which read-only tracks are formed, and a rewritable area located in an outer portion in which rewritable tracks are formed. Each of the rewritable tracks is divided into second sectors, and the signal is recordable in the second sectors under a predetermined recording format which includes the predetermined reproduction format as a part thereof and further includes another part specific to the predetermined recording format.
摘要:
An optical disc having marks for dispersed addresses that can be easily detected with high precision. A dispersed address comprises synchronization marks, positive marks, and negative marks. Synchronization marks, positive marks, and negative marks are formed along a groove as partial discontinuities or partial modifications in the wobbled groove.
摘要:
An optical disk device comprising a converging optical system (21) in which a laser beam (5) is irradiated onto an optical disk (1) having a recording thin film on a substrate provided with uneven guide grooves (4) and a tracking controller (12) that controls tracking so that the laser beam converged by the converging optical system scans a convex part or a concave part of the guide groove, wherein the tracking controller controls tracking polarity so that the tracking polarity is inverted according to the depth of the guide groove. As a result, in optical disks having any groove depth, a laser beam can scan a target groove track or a target land groove track correctly.
