摘要:
An optical reproduction apparatus for reproducing information from an optical recording medium having grooves and lands alternately provided in a radial direction, information recording areas being formed in both of said grooves and said lands, and at least one prepit region where no groove is formed. In the prepit region, first information marks are disposed on a virtual extension of a first boundary between one groove and one adjacent land and second information marks are disposed on a virtual extension of a second boundary between the one groove and an other adjacent land. The prepit region includes a gap between the first and second information marks. The optical reproduction apparatus includes an irradiation source for irradiating a light spot on the optical recording medium, a detector for detecting a reflected light from the optical recording medium; and a reproducer for reproducing information by using a signal from the detector.

An optical reproduction apparatus for reproducing information from an optical recording medium having an aligned prepit portion straddled on a plurality of tracks in a radial direction. The prepit portion includes first and second prepit portions divided in a track direction with a prepit of the respective first and second prepit portions being arranged on a boundary of the respective tracks. The first prepit portion has an address information prepit and a synchronous information prepit and the second prepit portion has a synchronous information prepit. A gap is provided between the first and second prepit portion. The optical reproduction apparatus includes an irradiation source for irradiating a light spot on the optical recording medium, a detector for detecting a reflected light from the optical recording medium, and a reproducer for reproducing information by using a signal from the detector.

An information recording method for recording information on a rewritable recording medium including recording first synchronizing signal information in a first synchronizing signal portion on the rewritable recording medium, recording second synchronizing signal information in a second synchronizing signal portion following the first synchronizing signal portion on the rewritable recording medium, and recording data information in a data portion of the rewritable recording medium after the second synchronizing signal portion by forming marks in the data portion, wherein the data information corresponds to both ends of each of the record marks. A length of the first synchronizing signal portion changes and a start position of the first synchronizing signal portion changes, and a change of the start position of the first synchronizing signal portion is smaller than a change of the length of the first synchronizing signal portion.

An optical reproduction apparatus for reproducing an optical recording medium having an aligned prepit portion straddled on a plurality of tracks in a radial direction, and comprising an irradiator, an optical detector, a reproducer, a signal detector and a controller. The prepit portion of the recording medium includes first and second prepit portions divided in a track direction and arranged on a boundary line of the respective tracks with the first and second prepit portions each having address information prepits arranged at every two-track pitch in the radial direction. Further, a gap portion lies between first and second prepit portions, the gap portion having a track direction length equal to or greater than a minimum mark length and equal to or less than a maximum mark length which is recorded.
摘要:
A recording medium having a dummy signal area on at least one side of a recording area is used and information is recorded with a dummy signal added to at least one of the leading and trailing sides in the recorded information signal. The user data area remains unaffected by repeated overwriting so that recorded user data is reproduced correctly. In particular, the wave form distortion caused by fluidization of a recording film remains at the dummy signal area and does not affect the user data area, so that the reproduction of the target information (user data) is assured.

Regarding a signal recorded with a first frequency in a recording area on a specific first recording layer and a signal recorded with a second frequency different from the first frequency in a recording area on a second recording layer which might cause interlayer crosstalk in relation to the first recording layer, a reproducing signal measurement method for a multilayer optical recording medium having at least three recording layers includes reproducing the signal recorded in the recording area on the first recording layer, separating signals recorded respectively with the first and second frequencies, discriminating signal amplitude of the first frequency and a maximum value in signal amplitude of the second frequency, and calculating a signal amplitude ratio between them to measure interlayer crosstalk contained in the signal reproduced from the recording area on the first recording layer. Thus, the interlayer crosstalk quantity caused by unnecessary light can be measured quantitatively.

A rewritable recording medium having a first adjustment region recorded with first signal information, a data portion recorded with data information after the first adjustment region, and second adjustment region recorded with a second signal information after the data portion. Each time the first signal information is rerecorded, a length of the first adjustment region changes and a start position of the first adjustment region changes.

A reproducing method for reproducing information recorded on an optical recording medium having an aligned prepit portion straddled on a plurality of tracks in a radial direction, the prepit portion including first and second prepit portions divided in a track direction and arranged on a boundary line of the respective tracks. The first and second prepit portions each have address information prepits arranged at every two-track pitch in the radial direction, and the address information prepit of the first and second prepit portions are arranged with one track displaced in the radial direction. The method includes irradiating an optical spot on the medium, detecting a reflected beam from the medium, and reproducing information on the medium by using a signal obtained by the reflected beam.

A recording method for an optical recording medium having grooves and lands alternately provided in a radial direction and information recording areas formed thereon, and at least one prepit region where a groove is not formed. In the prepit region, first and second information marks are disposed on a virtual extension of respectively a first boundary between one groove and one adjacent land and a second boundary between the one groove and an other adjacent land with the first and second information marks being disposed so as not to exist at opposing positions on both of the first and second boundaries of the one groove. The first and second information marks include synchronous information and address information and the prepit region includes a gap between the first and second information marks. The method includes providing the optical medium, and recording information by irradiating an optical spot on the optical medium.
