摘要:
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.

An optical reproducing method using an optical medium having an aligned prepit portion straddled on a plurality of tracks in a radius direction. The prepit portion includes a first and second prepit portion divided in a track direction with a gap therebetween and with a synchronous information prepit of the respective first and second prepit portion being arranged on a boundary of the respective tracks. The synchronous information prepit and the first and second prepit portion is arranged at every two-track pitch in the radius direction and at opposite boundaries of the same track. An optical spot is irradiated on the optical medium, a reflected beam is detected from the optical medium, and information on the optical medium is reproduced by using a signal obtained by the reflected beam.

摘要:
An optical reproducing method using an optical recording medium having grooves and lands alternately provided in a radial direction, information recording areas being formed in both of said grooves and said lands, and at least one prepit region where a groove is not formed. In the prepit region, first information marks are disposed on a virtual extension of a first boundary between one groove and one adjacent land and second information marks are disposed on a virtual extension of a second boundary between the one groove and an other adjacent land. The prepit region includes a gap between the first and second information marks. The method includes irradiating an optical spot on the optical recording medium detecting a reflected beam from the optical recording medium, and reproducing information on the optical recording medium by using a signal obtained by the reflected beam.
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 reproducing method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate having a plurality of tracks associated with a plurality of grooves. A plurality of zones are provided with each zone including at least two tracks. Radially adjacent units of a respective zone are delimited by a pair of radial lines joined to form a central angle at an apex proximate to a center of the disk-like substrate with each unit of a respective zone being delimited by the same central angle and units of different zones being delimited by different central angles. The grooves are wobbled in the radial direction and the length is the same for the different zones. The method includes irradiating an optical spot on the optical medium, detecting a reflected beam from the optical medium, and reproducing information on the optical medium by using a signal obtained by the reflected beam.
