摘要:
The invention provides an optical disc device and a method of determining an optimal laser power for data recording by trial recording before recording actual user data even when there are fingerprints in the test track area for the trial recording. The BER (Byte Error Rate) is detected in each recorded sector. If the BER is less than a particular threshold value, the sector is taken as OK (good). Otherwise the sector is taken as NG (no good). While the peak power level is gradually changed or decreased from the power level at which half or more of the plural reproduced sectors are OK, a boundary peak power at which half or more of the sectors become NG is found. Based on the found boundary power, an amount of the optimal peak power is determined.

A tilt detection device detects an inclination (tilt angle) of the recording surface of an optical disc with respect to the optical axis of the light beam. The device has an optical head for directing a light beam onto the optical disc, a photo detector for receiving light reflected from the optical disc, and a tilt detector for detecting inclination of the recording surface of the optical disc with respect to the optical axis of the light beam by a signal output from the photo detector.

An optical disc has a plurality of tracks for recording information represented as marks and spaces between the marks. The marks are formed by an optical beam modulated by a plurality of drive pulses where a number of the drive pulses is determined according to a length of a mark part in the original signal to be recorded to the track. The optical disc has a data recording area for recording data, and a control information recording area for storing a first pulse position Tu value indicative of rising edge of the first drive pulse for determining a start position of a mark to be recorded, and a last pulse position Td value indicative of falling edge of the last drive pulse for determining an end position of a mark to be recorded.
摘要:
In an optical disc, a sector is sequentially formed with a first gap field, a first guard data recording field, a data recording field composed of synchronous signal and user data, a second guard data recording field, and a second gap field, wherein the length of the first and second gap fields, and the length of the first and second guard data recording fields is changed randomly in every recording, and the changing amount of the first and second guard data recording fields is set smaller than the changing amount of the first and second guard data recording fields, thereby suppressing optical disc medium deterioration in every sector and every mark resulting from repeated recording.
摘要:
A two-layer optical disk has a first layer of a disk shaped recording medium for storing data and a second layer of a disk shaped recording medium placed over the first layer for storing data. Data blocks A, B, C are stored in the first layer in said order. Similarly, data blocks X, Y, Z are stored in the second layer in said order. When reading the data from the two-layer optical disk, the data blocks are read in the order of A, X, B, Y, C, Z.
摘要:
An optical disc drive having an optical pickup head emitting a light beam to an optical storage medium, detecting the light beam reflected from the optical storage medium, and outputting a signal based on the received reflected light, having a jitter measuring unit measuring jitter in signals output from the optical pickup head and having an evaluation unit determining from the measured jitter if the optical storage medium is good or defective. The jitter measuring unit measures jitter in a train of 3T or longer marks or spaces from an optical storage medium to which digital information is recorded as a train of marks or spaces of length kT based on a period T and an integer k of two or more.

An optical disc medium comprises a track groove, along which main information is recorded. The track groove is divided into a plurality of blocks. The plurality of blocks each include a plurality of frames. The plurality of frames each include one shape of wobbles indicating sub information, among a plurality of prescribed shapes of wobbles. The plurality of blocks each have address information. The address information is represented by a string of at least one piece of sub information represented by the shape of wobbles of at least one of the plurality of frames.
