摘要:
An objective of the present invention is to enhance reliability of recorded data by preventing deterioration of OPC (Optimum Power Calibration) accuracy due to an influence of inter-layer interference in an optical disk device capable of writing in a multilayer optical disk. Aiming at the objective, a relationship between asymmetry and a signal modulation depth, which are measured by use of a standard driver is referred, and thereby an offset caused by a device, a disk, a writing state of another layer and the like is compensated. Thus, OPC is executed.

A write power adjustment method and optical read/write apparatus for accurate optimum write power setup. Different levels of write power Pwm are used to perform a test write and calculate a modulation Mm corresponding to each level of write power Pwm. Different write power compensated values Pcn are used to calculate an evaluated value Smn=Mm×(Pwm−Pcn). Pcn that maximizes the linearity of the relationship between compensated write power (Pwm−Pcn) and evaluated value Smn is determined as an optimum write power compensated value PcO. Compensated write power PthO that provides a modulation of zero, that is, an evaluated value SmO of zero, when the relationship between compensated write power (Pwm−PcO) for PcO and evaluated value SmO is subjected to linear approximation is determined. PthO and optimum write power compensated value PcO are used to calculate a write power threshold Pth=PthO+PcO. A predetermined calculation is performed on Pth to determine optimum write power Popt. In contrast to a conventional write power adjustment method (κ method), the present invention makes it possible to accurately adjust for the optimum write power even when the optical disc's write power Pwm-to-evaluated value M×Pw relationship is not linear or its modulation M varies.

Disclosed herewith is a data recording and reading equipment capable of reducing laser noise easily. At first, a laser beam source that can reduce the laser noise when reading data from a subject optical disk is obtained. A modulator capable of varying laser attenuation with a voltage is disposed so as to precede the laser, thereby the laser noise when reading data from the optical disk can be reduced without lowering the laser power when in writing.

A sputtering target consists essentially of 0.1 to 50% by weight of at least one kind of element that forms an intermetallic compound with Al, and the balance of Al. The element that forms an intermetallic compound with Al is uniformly dispersed in the target texture, and in a mapping of EPMA analysis, a portion of which count number of detection sensitivity of the element is 22 or more is less than 60% by area ratio in a measurement area of 20×20 &mgr;m.
