摘要:
In a wobble signal detecting circuit provided by the present invention, a wobble signal is converted into binary data before being supplied to a PLL circuit by way of a polarity switching circuit and a clock switching circuit. The PLL circuit outputs a recording/playback timing generation clock signal. The frequency of the recording/playback timing generation clock signal is divided by a frequency dividing circuit before being fed back to the PLL circuit. A difference in phase between the wobble signal and the feedback signal is detected by a phase inversion detecting circuit and, if the difference in phase exceeds a phase difference determined in advance, the phase inversion detecting circuit generates a polarity switching signal for switching the polarity of the wobble signal. The polarity switching signal is used to invert the polarity of the polarity switching circuit.

In an information recording apparatus according to this invention, since it is not necessary to dispose any differential circuit, which was required heretofore, it is possible to fabricate it with a low cost and its error rate is also very small.Furthermore, since the mean reflectivity on the recording track does almost not vary by the fact that information is recorded there, no tracking off-set or focusing off-set is produced. Thus effects of this invention are remarkable.

When recording domains are formed locally on a recording medium and information is recorded and reproduced by using rise and fall in a reproduced waveform obtained from the recording domains as data, timing patterns indicating start of demodulation are recorded for the lead-edge and the tail-edge of the recording domains, respectively; time interval between the timing signal for starting demodulation detected from the rise in the reproduced waveform and the timing signal for starting demodulation detected from the fall in the reproduced waveform is detected; time shifts of the signals detected from the lead-edge and the tail-edge of the recording domains succeeding the timing patterns for starting demodulation by using the time interval thus detected; and the information is stably detected as time sequential data having no jitter.

This invention relates to a track setting method for a tracking servo system in an optical disk device and a device therefor. According to this invention the track passage velocity when the light spot moves across the track is detected and setting of the light spot onto the track is performed under the condition that the passage velocity thus detected is lower than a predetermined velocity. In the case where the passage velocity is greater than the predetermined velocity, the light spot is forced to move so that the passage velocity is lower than the predetermined velocity and the light spot is set up thereafter.

A method of detecting a light spot control signal is disclosed in which, when information is reproduced from an optical disk for optically recording information, a signal level obtained at a high-reflectivity portion of the optical disk is taken out of a signal reproduced from the optical disk, and is used as a control signal, which controls a light spot so that it tracks information stored in the optical disk.

In an optical recording system wherein the intensity of a laser beam is modulated with an input modulation signal so as to record information on a recording medium, the intensity modulation of the laser beam is performed after the pulse waveform of the input modulation signal is converted into two pulses which express the front edge and rear edge of the pulse waveform respectively.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for optically detecting information from a recording medium in which pits are formed by thermal energy of a light spot to record the information. A reproduction spot is irradiated onto the recording medium to produce a detection signal. From a differential signal of the detection signal, a signal indicative of zero points of the differential signal and a signal indicative of the presence of the pits are detected, and both the signals are used to detect positions of the pits. For stable and accurate detection of the pit position, the relation between pit size W and reproduction spot size W.sub.s is prescribed and the pit size and reproduction spot size are so set as to satisfy 0.45.ltoreq.W/W.sub.s .ltoreq.0.75.
