摘要:
A pre-pit detecting apparatus which, when a light beam is radiated onto an optical recording medium having a recording surface with pre-pits repeatedly formed between tracks, receives light reflected by the recording surface with first and second light receiving faces, obtains the push-pull signal corresponding to the light receiving signals for the first and second light receiving faces, and binarizes the push-pull signal by using a threshold value to generate a pre-pit detection signal. It is judged which area of a plurality of areas including at least a not-yet-recorded area corresponds to a position of the recording surface where the light beam is radiated is performed to judge. Then the threshold value is set in accordance with the judgement result.

A laser light intensity controller includes a polarizing beam splitter (13) for passing most of one of an x-direction polarization component perpendicular to a direction in which a laser beam emitted from a light source (11) travels and a y-direction polarization component parallel with the traveling direction and for reflecting a little portion of the one polarization component as monitoring light, and a photodetector (18) for receiving the reflected monitoring light to generate a light intensity signal. The controller drives the light source in accordance with the light intensity signal. An optical element (20) which passes passing only the one polarization component is installed between the light source and the polarizing beam splitter.

An optical recording device includes an optical pickup (2), an asymmetry detection circuit (5), and a microcomputer (6). The optical pickup (2) corrects an aberration of an object lens based on an aberration correction value using a liquid crystal panel (41) in the optical pickup, irradiates a laser beam of multiple stages of recording powers on an optical disk to form marks, and then reproduces the formed marks with a reproduction power. The asymmetry detection circuit (5) detects amplitudes of RF signals of the marks reproduced by the optical pickup (2), calculates amplitude central values such that asymmetry takes a predetermined value, and determines an optimum recording power. The microcomputer (6) performs spherical aberration correction to change a spherical aberration correction value from an initial value such that the optimum recording power takes a minimum value.

Optical discs with land pre-pits must be inspected after manufacture to determine whether the land pre-pits conform to a prescribed standard. Apparatus for measuring the aperture ratio (i.e. the ratio of the maximum and the minimum peaks of the overlapped waveforms of the radial push-pull signal from the land pre-pits) is disclosed in with the influence of foreign substances on the disc surface is reduced. The apparatus comprises first and second light receiving means, substracting means for generating the push-pull signal, means for collecting sample data by sampling the puh-pull signal for a predetermined period of time and for repeating the predetermined period of sampling a plurality of times, frequency determination means for determining whether each data value corresponding to a pre-pit position of the sample data is obtained by a predetermined number of times or greater and means for calculating the aperture value when data values have been determined a predetermined number of times or greater.
