A system lead-out area, data lead-out area, data area, and middle area are sequentially arranged from an inner circumference of layer 1. A guard track zone is arranged in the data lead-out area. A reference code zone, R physical format information zone, recording position management zone, and drive test zone are arranged in the data lead-in area of the layer 0 corresponding to the guard track zone.

Abstract:
To provide an optical head unit and an optical disc apparatus which is difficult to be influenced by interlayer crosstalk of recording layers and decreases a load of a signal reproduce system when reproducing and recording information from an optical disc having two or more recording layers, provide a diffraction optical element for forming an image on the light-receiving surface of a photodetector which receives a reflected laser beam reflected on first and second recording layers of an optical disc and outputs a corresponding signal, in a state that a component close to the center of a reflected laser beam reflected by an optical disc is polarized (diffracted).

Abstract:
An optical information recording/reproducing apparatus for optically recording/reproducing information by irradiating a track on a recording medium with a light comprises: a detecting circuit, a tracking error signal producing circuit, and a tracking control circuit. The detecting circuit selectively detects a circular area having a diameter smaller than a diameter of a light beam reflected from the recording medium and obtains an output signal corresponding to the detected circular area. The tracking error signal producing circuit produces, from the output signal of the detecting circuit, a tracking error signal indicating a shift in a position of a light beam irradiated on the recording medium in a track width direction. The tracking control circuit controls an irradiation position of a light beam irradiated on the recording medium in the track width direction based on the tracking error signal.

An optical disk used for writing and reading data in units of an error correction block containing a plurality of sectors by means of a light beam and comprising land and groove tracks arranged adjacent to one another and a plurality of emboss pits formed on a boundary between the land and the groove tracks to detect respective positions of the error correction blocks.
Abstract:
An optical disk apparatus comprising a light source for emitting a light beam, an optical system for focusing the light beam to form a beam spot on the optical disk, a tracking unit for detecting the light reflected from the optical disk to generate a tracking error signal from the light by a differential phase detection method, and move the beam spot in accordance with the tracking error signal, and an information-readout section for reading out information from the optical disk. To achieve readout compatibility between a high-definition DVD and a DVD-ROM, a predetermined delay is given relatively to first and second signals obtained from two pairs of regions arranged in two crossing diagonals of a quadrant photodetector, thereby shifting the beam spot from the centerline of the pit stream in the radial direction of a DVD-ROM, in order to read out information from the DVD-ROM.
