摘要:
The present invention relates to apparatus and method for decoding a signal reproduced from an optical disc. The optical disc has a signal format for recording data from an original signal in a data area at the optical disc. The optical disc also has recorded thereon a clock signal having the same phase as the recorded data. During reproduction of the recorded signal from the optical disc, this clock signal is utilized to generate a delayed version of the reproduced data signal. This delayed signal is used to decode the reproduced data signal obtained from the optical disc, thereby enabling a phase shift of the reproduced clock signal to there produced data signal to be eliminated by circuit processing. During the recording on the data area of the optical disc, fixing data for setting phases of data reproducing recording clock and reproducing signal to optimum phases for decoding is recorded. A phase corrector is provided at the optical disc driving apparatus so as to delay the fixing data signal reproduced from the optical disc, whereby a phase shift between the reproduced data signal and the reproduced clock signal can be corrected to an optimum quantity and the data signal at a preformatted area of the optical disc can be reproduced without delay.

An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks. Each information track having a data field including multiple data bytes and a servo field including a first servo byte having a pair of wobbled pits and a second servo byte having a clock pit. The byte length of at least one of the first or second servo bytes being longer than the byte lengths of the data bytes. The increased byte length providing for greater distance between the wobbled pits and the clock pit resulting in increased reliability in clock pit detection. An accessing apparatus for accessing such an optical disc including a phase-locked loop circuit with a frequency dividing ratio that varies in accordance with the various byte lengths.

An optical disc having a plurality of information tracks, each information track having a servo field including a pair of wobbled pits and the clock pit. The distance between one of the wobbled pits and the clock pit in each servo field is selected so that the optical disc includes at least three different types of servo field. These different types of servo field appear in a predetermined sequence for every one or more contiguous information tracks. A transducing apparatus for tranducing such an optical disc has a direction detecting circuit for detecting the moving velocity of a movable portion of an optical head, and a speed detecting circuit for detecting the relative velocity of the movable portion.

An apparatus in accordance with the present invention sequentially fixes the wavelength of a light beam irradiated from a light source whose oscillation wavelength sequentially varies to a plurality of different wavelengths to a recording medium to required wavelengths each capable of forming a hole at absorption spectrum of the recording medium, synchronizes timing of change of the wavelength of the light source with timing of recording or regenerating each bit of information, records the optical hole formed in a manner that each bit of information corresponds to the wavelength varying in sequence, and detects the formed hole to regenerate information. Furthermore, the holes formed by the same wavelength are recorded at the positions separated by a distance capable of avoiding interference, while the holes formed by different wavelengths in correspondence to each bit of information are recorded at nearly the same position while that position is slightly displaced at a time, and thereby information is multiple-recorded with high density.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving accuracy of recording and reproducing information onto and from a magneto-optic recording information medium. In the first method, a width of a mark formed by a relatively low intensity light beam between two kinds of light beam intensities used for recording information is made larger than a sum of a track land width and the maximum track offset of the light beam, thereby the mark formed by the relatively low intensity light beam covers the track land portion in its full width. In the first apparatus, a reflected light beam from the magneto-optic recording information medium is split into a reflected beam for information reproducing and a reflected beam for tracking and focusing servos at the reproducing, thereby the apparatus can remove part being affected by the track groove portion from the reflected light beam for information reproducing. In the second method and apparatus, an intensity ratio of the two kinds of intensities of light beams used for information recording is controlled in such a manner that a mark width formed by the relative low intensity light beam is wider than a mark width formed by the relative high intensity light beam.

摘要:
A magneto-optic recording medium has a cartridge provided with a magnetization direction indicating portion for indicating the direction of magnetization of a second magnetic layer. Alternatively, the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer is recorded in advance in the first magnetic layer. The direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer indicated or recorded is detected and recognized. A magnetic field oriented in an opposite direction to the direction of magnetization detected is imparted to the magneto-optic recording medium. Alternatively, predetermined information is recorded in the first magnetic layer, the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer is detected on the basis of a signal reproducing that information, and the direction of a magnetic field to be applied to the magneto-optic recording medium is set on the basis of the direction of magnetization thus detected. In addition, the direction of the magnetic field to be applied to the magneto-optic recording medium is set and the output of a light beam is changed on the basis of the direction of the second magnetic layer detected.
