    摘要: An optical disk recorder includes a position servo control loop for causing a beam of radiation to faithfully follow a track on the disk, jump from a current track to an adjacent track or to a small number of tracks away from the current track. Operation of the position servo loop is altered by selectively reversing the phase of a differentiated position error signal and integrating the differentiated position error signal for comparison with a sawtooth signal for moving the beam of radiation from the current track to an immediately adjacent track under continuous position servo control. Upon reaching the adjacent track, the sawtooth signal returns to a reference potential for initiating track following. The servo error between the integrated differentiated position error signal and the sawtooth signal is sufficiently small such that relaxation of the sawtooth signal does not cause any significant perturbations in the positioning servo loop operation. A velocity long seek servo can be substituted for the position servo loop for more rapid long seeks.

    摘要: A system and method for encoding servo sector information in a nonvolatile data storage and retrieval system using rotating recording disks. Servo sectors are angularly-spaced approximately radial regions reserved for position reference and tracking adjustment information. Servo timing marks including means for detecting defects on the recording surface, encoded track address and sector address data, and position error signal blocks are permanently fabricated into a number of servo sectors. The present invention helps the storage system controller locate, certify, and follow any particular track and sector while maximizing the amount of disk surface area available for data storage and retrieval.

    摘要: A positioning system for selectively directing a first beam of light towards a destination and a second beam of light towards a first diffractive optic. The first beam of light and the second beam of light traverse a substantially co-linear optical path. The first diffractive optic diffracts the second beam of light into a plurality of optical spots. The second beam of light comprising the plurality of optical spots is directed onto a second diffractive optic. A change in position of the plurality of optical spots relative to the second diffractive optic is sensed in a reflection of the second beam of light by a detection element and representative signals are derived thereof. The signals are coupled to a directing assembly, which directs the first beam of light towards the destination.

    摘要: An optical disk drive with a multiple data layer optical disk uses computed axial velocity values of the data layers to optimize the interlayer transition of the focused light beam. In the preferred embodiment, the axial velocities of the data layers are computed for a set of radial and angular positions on the data layer surfaces using one of several techniques. The data layer axial velocity values are computed from the measured current values to the voice coil motor focus actuator or from the output of the detector that generates the focus error signal (FES). A routine is run at disk drive startup, or at various times during disk drive operation, to measure the coil current or FES at different radial and angular positions and compute the axial velocity values. The computed axial velocity values are then mapped into memory storage according to addresses corresponding to their radial and angular positions. When it is desired to move the focused light beam from one data layer (the initial or take-off data layer) to another data layer (the final or target data layer) the computed axial velocity values are retrieved for the radial and angular positions nearest the take-off and target sectors on the respective data layers. These velocity values are then used to modify the acceleration profile of the focusing lens so that the focused light beam arrives at the desired position on the target data layer with a velocity close to the target data layer axial velocity.
