摘要:
An optical disk has a rewritable first recording area and a read-only second recording area. The first recording area includes first tracks composed of groove tracks and land tracks formed on an optical disk substrate alternately in a spiral or concentric shape. Each of the first tracks is divided into a plurality of first sectors, and each of the first sectors includes a first header region having identification data for identifying the first sector and a first data region for recording user data by forming recording marks by changing optical characteristics of a recording surface. The second data recording area includes second tracks formed with physical concave and convex shaped pit rows arranged on the optical disk substrate in a spiral or concentric shape. Each of the second tracks is divided into a plurality of second sectors, and each of the second sectors includes a second header region having identification data for identifying the second sector and a second data region having read-only data recorded as the pit rows. The first header region includes a physical concave and convex shaped first pit row. Each pit of the first pit row has a width in a radial direction of the optical disk substantially equal to a width of the groove track and is wobbled outward or inward from a center line of the groove track by about a quarter of a pitch of the groove track. The second header region includes a physical concave and convex shaped second pit row. Each pit of the second pit row has a width in the radial direction of the optical disk smaller than the width of the groove track and is formed substantially along the center line of the second track.

Address groups are composed of two of address blocks 16 , 17 , 18 , and 19 , where the address blocks 16 , 17 , 18 , and 19 are disposed in a sector address region 5 and include identifiable information of address numbers 13 and overlapping sequential numbers 14 . The address groups are disposed so that each group is alternately shifted from a track center 2 toward the inner periphery side or the outer periphery side, by a width substantially equal to half the track pitch, along the radius direction.

The operating and other procedures of an optical disk application system of the type for which a network is used are simplified. Optical disks have auxiliary data recording areas, where different IDs for individual disks, and/or cipher keys and/or decoding keys for ciphers are recorded in advance in a factory. By using the IDs to release the soft ciphers, using the cipher keys when sending the ciphers, and using the decoding keys when receiving the ciphers, user authorization procedures are simplified.
摘要:
A rotating disk-shape recording medium (1) has, on each of its opposite sides, a recording area which is divided in a radial direction into n recording zones (a₁,a₂,b₁,b₂). A disk apparatus for reproducing information from and/or reproducing information from the recording medium has a first group of n heads (A₁,A₂) disposed to respectively oppose to the n recording zones on one side of the recording medium, and a second group of n heads (B₁,B₂) disposed to respectively oppose to the n recording zones on the other side of the recording medium, each head being movable to scan its corresponding recording zone. A head drive unit (4) causes each of the first group of n heads to move within its corresponding recording zone in a direction from an outer circumference to an inner circumference of the zone and each of the first group of n heads to move within its corresponding recording zone in a direction from an inner circumference to an outer circumference of the zone so that a sum of linear velocities of the first and second groups of n heads is substantially constant. Further, the first group of n heads and the second group of n heads respectively constitute n pairs of heads each being consituted by an i-th head from an outermost head of the first group and an i-th head from an innermost head of the second group ( i = 1 through n) such that a sum of linear velocities of each pair of heads is substantially constant and equal to a sum of linear velocities of another pair of heads.
摘要:
In an optical disk. pits of the reference signals in header regions are disposed to be apart each other in longitudinal direction of the groove, and thereby undesirable interference or crosstalk of the reference signals in neighboring V-grooves are eliminated; and in reproducing of such reference signals, two laser beam spots are irradiated on a pair of oblique surface tracks in a groove, and two electric signals made by detecting two reflection lights are examined whether they have coincidence, and when the coincidence is confirmed the signals are used as valid reference signals.

In reproduction of signal recorded on an optical disk (11) by irradiation of laser light (57) beam thereon, interference between reflected diffracted light of +1th order or -1th order and reflected diffracted light of Oth order is coersively induced, and by detecting the interference light, a high frequency signal can be reproduced.
