摘要:
An optical reading/writing apparatus has an optical head that includes a collimator and a lens. For focusing control, a startup procedure is executed to generate a first startup S-curve. A boundary is then set according to the startup S-curve. After executing focusing on and tracking on, a plurality of position combinations of the collimator and the lens are selected for focusing calibration, thereby obtaining respective focusing error signals. By comparing the focusing error signals with the boundary, whether the position combinations of the selected collimator and the lens are valid can be determined. One of the valid position combinations with the greatest image-quality value is then selected to read/write the optical disc in the subsequent reading/writing procedure.

An apparatus generates outgoing data (OD) to be provided on an optical disk (1) in a burst cutting area (2). The burst cutting area (2) further comprises markings (3) which cause a marking frequency spectrum (MFS) when reading out the burst cutting area (2). The apparatus comprises a channel coder (4) which receives processed data (PD) and supplies the outgoing data (OD) having an outgoing data frequency spectrum (DFS) with suppressed DC-content. The apparatus further comprises a data processing device (5) which generates the processed data (PD) to obtain an outgoing frequency spectrum (DFS) wherein a frequency component causing interference with a low frequent component of the markings (3) is suppressed or not present.

A method and system for obtaining focus optimization in an optical disc system is disclosed. The focus offset of a recording unit is set to a first of a plurality of predetermined values. A HF quality value is measured and stored for the selected focus offset value of the recording unit. The focus offset is then set to a best-known focus offset value. Tracks on the optical media being read are then jumped. The above steps are then repeated for each of the plurality of predetermined focus offset values. The optimal focus setting is then determined from the stored HF quality measurements.

An optical disk drive and a method for determining a disk type are described. The optical disk drive may be arranged to receive a radial error signal while an incident beam is focused onto the optical disk and before tracking the track, to analyze the radial error signal for detecting whether a wobble signal is present, indicating whether the track is wobbled, and to derive a disk type from the wobble signal, if present. The optical disk drive may additionally or alternatively be arranged to receive a central aperture signal while the incident beam is focused onto the optical disk and before tracking a track including a sequence of embossed pits, to analyze the signal amplitude of the central aperture signal, and to determine the disk type from at least a first variation of the signal amplitude of the central aperture signal as a function of time.

The present invention relates to a drive for accessing an optical record carrier (2) comprising means (4) for determining the type of record carrier, in particular for distinguishing a read-only record carrier from a recordable or rewritable record carrier having a wobbled groove in the lead-in zone, said means comprising: a DPD measuring unit (41) for measuring the differential phase detection (DPD) signal, a PP measuring unit (42) for measuring the push-pull (PP) signal in case no DPD signal could be measured, a wobble locking unit (43) for locking, in case a PP signal could be measured, to the wobble embedded in said wobbled groove using a first and/or a second polarity setting, and an indication unit (44) for generating a first indication signal indicating that the record carrier is a read-only record carrier if a DPD signal could be measured and that the record carrier is a recordable or rewritable record carrier if no DPD signal but a PP signal could be measured and if locking to the wobble has been successful. In a further embodiment a second indication signal in generated indicating the type of polarity in case of a recordable or rewritable record carrier.

Described is an optical record carrier recording method, optical record carrier (11) and an apparatus for writing information to an optical record carrier (11). The optical record carrier recording method forms pits and lands by controlling a radiation source to direct a radiation beam onto a recording surface of an optical record carrier (11), the method comprises the steps of: reading a write strategy from the optical record carrier (11) which comprises at least two write strategies, and forming the pits and lands by controlling the radiation source with the read write strategy, wherein the method further comprises a step of determining which of the at least two write strategies is the most optimal one by reading an indication present on the optical record carrier (11), and wherein the method uses the most optimal write strategy to form the pits and the lands. If an apparatus for writing information to an optical record carrier (11) is capable of applying two or more write strategies stored on the optical record carrier, then the apparatus reads the indication and applies the write strategy which is the most optimal one.
