摘要:
An optical information recording medium in the form of an magneto-optical recording disk with a sector format preformatted in accordance with a mark edge recording method, wherein two types of preformat patterns are provided for an area VFO2 for a PLL, positioned after an area ID1 or an area ID2 indicating a track number or a sector number, with one pattern being selected from the two types of preformat patterns and being preformatted, depending upon whether a prepit preformatted in the area ID1 or the area ID2 is completed within the area ID1 or the area ID2, or is discontinued in the area ID1 or the area ID2. The optical information recording medium may be in the form of a 90 mm ROM disk or a 90 mm magneto-optical recording disk including a partial ROM section, provided with a sector format which is preformatted in accordance with the mark edge recording method, wherein a specified data pattern is preformatted in an area GAP or wherein a specified data pattern is preformatted in part or all of areas GAP, FLAG, GAP, and ALPC.

A defect detection circuit for optical pick up device having a record medium on which a track is formed which track has a plurality of segments formed in series along the track. The circuit comprises a first detection circuit for detecting a defect of a segment sampled to be detected by comparing difference between a latest data of a refresh signal from the segment and a preceding data of a refresh signal from a preceding segment sampled before the segment to be detected with a first predetermined value. The circuit further comprises a second detection circuit for detecting a defect of the segment to be detected by comparing the latest data with a second predetermined value and a discrimination circuit for discriminating whether the segment is defective or not.

A hologram recording medium and apparatus for and method of recording data on the recording medium. The recording medium is a card shaped hologram recording medium having an auxiliary recording area at a periphery of a main or user data recording area. Address information is recorded along one or two sides of the main or user data recording area. The recording medium may also be divided into a plurality of user data areas each having associated address data on the one or two sides. A recording location is determined by reference to the address information.

An optical recording medium for performing a hologram recording on a first layer and a ROM reproducing layer or a thermal recording layer and easily detecting the recording location of a hologram without reducing a recording capacity. The optical recording medium includes one surface having a hologram recording layer for recording information of an object beam as interference fringes by irradiating the object beam and a reference beam and at least one other surface having a ROM layer or a thermal layer on which pits are formed to store information to easily detect the recorded location of the hologram.

A power control system controls power of light emitted from a light source to a recording medium. The light having a first power is used to erase previous information from the recording medium and the light having a second power is used to record information in the recording medium in a recording operation. The power control system includes a detecting unit for detecting reflected light from the recording medium when the light source emits the light having the first power to erase the information from the recording medium. The detecting unit outputs a reflection signal corresponding to the reflected light. The power control system further has a control unit for controlling the first power of the light emitted from the light source so that a level of the reflection signal output from the detecting means is controlled at a predetermined target level.

A trial writing operation is performed on a phase-change optical disc using write and erase light-emitting powers, which together are varied according to predetermined variation ratios respectively. Signals relevant to said trial writing operation are reproduced from said disc. Optimum ones of the write and erase light-emitting powers are determined using the thus-reproduced signals. The predetermined variation ratios for the write and erase light-emitting powers may be the same as each other. Alternatively, the trial writing operation may be performed on a phase-change optical disc using write and erase light-emitting powers which are individually varied according to predetermined variation ratios respectively.

It is an object of the present invention to reduce a data error ratio in the mark edge recording method. In this invention, a corrected value of a record pulse is set by checking the data recording characteristics of an optically recording medium. For this reason, it is possible to adjust a length of a record mark to a specified value as well as to suppress errors such as data errors when data is regenerated.

In a method for detecting a defect in a prepit as a sampling object formed on a recording face of an information recording medium in an optical or magnetooptic disk drive unit, an optical or magnetooptic disk is used as the information recording medium and focusing and tracking controls are performed by using a sample servo system at recording and reproducing times of information. This method has the steps of disposing a device for checking a plurality of reproducing signals provided when a light spot moves onto the prepit in the detection of the defect therein and calculating an average value in voltage with respect to these reproducing signals; setting the average value as a reference voltage level of the reproducing signals and setting a constant window width with respect to the average value; calculating the difference in voltage between the reference level and a sampling value of each of the reproducing signals corresponding to the prepit every time when each of the reproducing signals is sampled; comparing the voltage difference every sampling with the window width; and judging that the prepit is defective when the voltage difference exceeds the window width.
