摘要:
The invention relates to an optical disc recording/retrieving apparatus comprising a motor (M1) for rotating a disc (D1). The disc has a spiral groove (105) with wobble, address information identifying each recording data block, which is a unit of recording information located at a specified position in the spiral groove (105), a synchronization pattern identifying a head position of the recording data block, and a recording layer. The apparatus further comprises, among others, an optical pick-up (PU1) for generating a focused laser beam irradiating the disc (D1), a groove tracking servo circuit (TE1) for scanning the spiral groove, a detector and decoder circuit (WAD1) for detecting and decoding a carrier frequency f A0 , address information and a block synchronization signal from the meandering groove geometry; a data-sequence generation circuit for generating a recording data sequence, a laser-power modulation circuit (WP1) for modulating a recording laser power in accordance with the recording data sequence, a reference signal generator (CK1) for generating a data reference clock T, and a data-sequence synchronization circuit for synchronizing a data sequence, which is to be written in the given recording block, with the start position of the recording block by comparing in phase between a reference signal f R0 , which is obtained by dividing the data reference clock at a particular radius by N (N is an integer), and the carrier frequency f A0 which is detected at the given address from the meandering groove geometry, and also making a fine adjustment of r.p.m. of the disc so as to satisfy a relation f d0 =N·f A0 .

An optical head (11) has sensors (61, 62) spaced in the track direction (10) so as to sense discontinuous grooves (4) formed in a land (2) at regular intervals or discontinuous lands (5) formed in a groove (3) at regular intervals and judges whether the track being scanned is the land (2) or groove (3) based on the differential signal (DF). After a track jump, tracking servo control of an objective (113) is started according to an identification signal (LG) from an identification circuit (16).

Present invention relates to a rewritable optical recording medium comprising a substrate, which has a wobble groove, and a phase-change recording layer, wherein a crystal state of the recording layer is an unrecorded or erased state and an amorphous state of the recording layer is a recorded state, and amorphous marks corresponding to the recorded state are formed by recording light. The phase-change recording layer comprises an alloy composition containing an excessive amount of Sb as compared to an eutectic composition of SbTe, and Sb/Te ratio of the eutectic composition of SbTe is from 2.6 to 3.6; and allowing recording of an EMF-modulated signal by an overwriting operation in the recording layer at 10-times velocity V without loss of read compatibility of the rewritable compact disc medium as to the modulation and maximum of the eye pattern. Further the present invention discloses methods of recording EFM-modulated information in terms of different mark and inter-mark lengths on such a rewritable optical recording medium by CAV (constant angular velocity) operation, in which the recording medium is rotated at a constant angular velocity.

Specifically an optical recording medium drive which performs recording and/or reproduction on and/or from an optical recording medium by projecting light onto the tracks thereof, wherein the recording medium has a plurality of tracks each constituted of land portions and groove portions formed between the land portions and capable of recording information thereon. The drive is provided with a sensor (115) for detecting the position of the light, peak hold circuits (311, 311a) for peak-holding the position detection signal from the sensor (115) and outputting the same, bottom hold circuits (312, 312a) for bottom-holding the position detection signal and outputting the same, and a switching circuit (316) for selecting one of signals generated based on the output signals of the peak hold circuits (311, 311a) and the bottom hold circuits (312, 312a) and outputting the selected signal.
摘要:
A memory (80) stores data concerning errors or differences between commanded number of tracks to be traversed and the number of tracks actually traversed by an optical pickup (20) actuated by a servo controller (30) in accordance with this command. A traversed track number computing unit (62) computes the number of tracks to be traversed by the optical pickup (20) when the same is moved to a track which corresponds to the address where the data to be read is stored. A correction processing unit (64) performs a predetermined correction processing on the computed number of tracks to be traversed, taking into consideration the error data stored in the memory (80).
