摘要:
Before original information is recorded in areas such as a recording medium management area where the same pattern of information is recorded many times, a dummy pattern that minimizes a recording film flow is recorded. Because the direction of the recording film flow depends on the length of a mark length, the dummy pattern is a pattern including marks with a unique length. Randomly or sequentially selecting and recording a plurality of dummy patterns, each with a recording film flow direction different from others, prevents jitters, which will be caused by the recording film flow, from increasing.
摘要:
An optical recording apparatus having a light source and an optical system. The medium is a substrate in the form of a substantially circular disk with grooves and lands alternately formed on the substrate in a radial direction. The grooves and lands both serve as recording tracks which are divided into recording units in a circumferential direction. Each recording unit has an address area devoid of the grooves including first and second address information. The first address information is formed on a first boundary between one track and an adjacent track on one side of the one track, and the second address information is formed on a second boundary between the one track and an adjacent track on an other side of the one track with the first address information and the second address information not existing at opposing positions on the boundaries of the one track.

An optical reproducing apparatus for reproducing information on a medium includes a light source, an optical system for irradiating a light beam generated by the light source on the medium, a detector for detecting a reflected light from the medium; and a reproducer for reproducing information on the medium by using a signal from the detector. The medium is a substrate in the form of a substantially circular disk with grooves and lands alternately formed thereon which serve as recording tracks and have address information.
摘要:
An optical recording/reproducing apparatus for recording/reproducing information on a medium including a light source, an optical system for focusing and irradiating a light beam generated by the light source on the medium, a photodetector for detecting a reflected beam from the medium, and a circuit for reproducing information by using a signal from the photodetector. The medium includes a substrate with grooves and lands alternately formed on the substrate in a radial direction. The grooves and the lands both serve as recording tracks with the recording tracks being divided into recording units in the circumferential direction. Each recording unit has a prepit area in a non-groove portion of the substrate with a first prepit being represented as VFO information in the prepit area and a second prepit being represented as address information in the prepit area.
摘要:
An optical recording/reproducing method and apparatus for use with an optical recording medium to which grooves and lands are formed on a substrate. Information recording areas are formed in association with both a groove and a land and an address area is formed at the information recording area preceding the groove and the land. VFO and address information are represented by pits which are disposed on an extension of the boundary between said groove and said land. The pits represents the VFO and address information and are disposed to satisfy such requirements that the pits are disposed alternately on both sides of an extension of the center line of one groove, that the pits are disposed alternately on both sides of an extension of the center line of one land, that the pits do not exist on both sides of a position on an extension of the center line of the groove and that the pits do not exist on both sides of a position on an extension of the center line of the land. The method and apparatus include features of irradiating an optical spot onto the said optical recording medium, detecting a reflected beam from the optical recording medium, detecting a VFO signal from the reflected beam indicative of the VFO information, detecting an amplitude of the VFO signal, and controlling an irradiation position of the optical spot on the basis of the amplitude utilizing appropriate apparatus.

摘要:
A method for reproducing information from an optical medium including a substrate with grooves and lands alternately formed on the substrate in a radial direction. The grooves and the lands both serve as tracks which are divided into units in the circumferential direction. Each unit has a prepit area in a non-groove portion of the substrate with a first prepit being represented as VFO information in the prepit area and a second prepit being represented as address information in the prepit area. The first prepit and second prepit are located on both sides of a center line of one track and are arranged with respect to one another. The method includes irradiating an optical spot on the optical medium, detecting address information, controlling the irradiation position of the optical spot on the basis of the address information and reproducing information.

The first prepit and second prepit are located on both sides of a center line of one track and formed on each side of the center line of the one track so as to be shared with an adjacent track adjacent the one side of the center line of the track, and every prepit does not exist at opposing positions on both sides of the center line of one track. Information recorded on the optical medium is reproduced.
摘要:
A recording medium having a plurality of recording tracks with address information allocated thereon and a method for allocation of the address information. The recording medium and method includes disposing first address information disposed on one side of the center line of one track, and disposing second address information disposed on another side of the center line of the one track. The one track and one adjacent track on the one side of the center line of the one track share the first addressing information, the one track and another adjacent track on the another side of the center line of the one track share the second address information, and the combination of the first and second address information provide a unique address for at least a portion of the one track.
