摘要:
An optical disk has a recording region divided into ones, each zone including physical tracks which are divided into a number of sectors. The optical disk further includes a structure management table which stores an attribute for each zone indicating whether the corresponding zone is a recording area which permits rewriting or a recording area that does not permit rewriting.

An optical disk physical has a recording region divided into zones, each zone including physical tracks adjacent to each other. An integer number of sectors are provided in each physical track. The angular recording density is higher in the more outward zones such that the linear recording density is substantially constant throughout the recording region, and logical tracks are formed of a predetermined number of sectors, independent of the physical tracks. The conversion between the logical track and sector addresses read from the disk and the linear logical addresses supplied from a host device is easy. The addresses written in headers of the sectors in the logical track in which data are actually recorded, including substitute sectors used in place of defect sectors, are preferably consecutive to further facilitate the conversion between the logical track and sector addresses read from the disk and the linear logical addresses supplied from the host device. Each of the zones can be set to serve as any of the different types of recording area, independently of other zones.

A sampled servo type optical disc and its driving apparatus is disclosed, in which by cyclically repeating wobbled pits or address pits of the optical disc composed by two significant digits at every N tracks, and preformatting by patterns spaced in different intervals at every track, when the optical disc driving apparatus seeks an object track, the seek direction of the optical head can be detected by the sequence of change of the pattern, and its seek speed can be detected at high speed by the detected result of the pattern, ensuring the speed control of the optical head in response to the detected seek direction and speed.

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.

摘要:
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.
