摘要:
An optical disk medium and a drive system are provided that enable high density recording to be carried out. In the optical disk medium, recorded information tracks are formed in a concentric or spiral manner, and information is recorded and played back by irradiating the recorded information tracks with a laser beam through a transparent substrate or a transparent cover layer. A change in tilt of the optical disk medium over one circuit of each of the tracks is set equal to or less than an allowed value, a change in tilt over the entire surface of the optical disk medium is permitted to be larger than the allowed value, and low frequency bandwidth tilt control is carried out by the drive system.

A two-layer recording type optical disk capable of realizing stable recording and reproduction without being affected by another recording layer and an optical disk apparatus for the two-layer recording type optical disk are provided. In layouts of various areas in the optical disk, a position where a border between a recorded part and an unrecorded part is formed on one recording layer is set so that the position is always separated from a position where a border between a recorded part and an unrecorded part is formed on another recording layer by a predetermined clearance amount. Moreover, to a recording layer farther from an incident surface, test recording or data recording is always performed through a recorded part on a closer recording layer.

Areas, which are located on the inner peripheral sides of multi-layered information recording areas (20) and have the same radial ranges, are set as burst cutting area forming zones, and a burst cutting area (BCA) (101) is formed in one information recording layer. All of the same radial ranges of the other information recording layers are formed as mirror surfaces (5). Thereby, interference from other layers and scattering of readout light are prevented, so reading of the burst cutting area (BCA) is realized stably.

An optical disc medium includes a system area and a data area following the system area. A plurality of sets of an extended record control data area, a bordered area, and a border are possibly set in the data area continuously from the system area, and a first set of the plurality of sets does not include the extended record control data area. A user data is recorded in each of the bordered areas. In each of the plurality of sets other than the first set, a record control data associated with the user data which is recorded in the bordered area of the set is recorded in the extended record control data area.

摘要:
A focus error detection system in an optical head has an optical divider for dividing an optical beam reflected from an optical disk, and first and second light receiving areas on a photodetector for receiving the split optical beam. Each of the first and second light receiving areas has first and second light receiving sections divided by a boundary which receives one of the split optical beams at the center thereof. Both the difference signals obtained by subtracting the output of the first light receiving section from the output of the second light receiving section of the first and second light receiving areas are respectively normalized by summed signals obtained by adding the outputs of the first and second light receiving sections of the first and second light receiving areas. Both the normalized difference signals are added to obtain a focus error signal for a focus control of the optical head.
