摘要:
An optical disc drive is has a voice coil motor that carries and moves focal optics to focus a laser beam onto an optical disc The voice coil motor is responsive to input signals which are based on a calibrated temperature. A temperature measurement is made at the voice coil motor for an operating temperature, and a difference is calculated between calibrated and operating temperatures. The temperature differences are used to calculate adjustment in input signals used to drive the voice coil motors.

Optical density is enhanced on print media darkened by exposure to electromagnetic radiation. The print media is divided into at least one track. A defocused spot of electromagnetic radiation is created within the track. The defocused spot of electromagnetic radiation darkens the print media within the track.
摘要:
A method of using electromagnetic radiation to control exposure of media to electromagnetic radiation is presented. The method includes rotating the media and sensing a frequency of electromagnetic radiation radiating from a rim of the media with a stationary detector. Exposure of the media to electromagnetic radiation with a movable source is controlled with the sensed frequency to provide increased accuracy.

An optical focusing system is configured to generate a data profile, wherein the data profile is configured to provide signals for operation of an actuator. Application of the signals from the data profile results in focus of optics within a label region of an optical disc. An image is printed on the label region of the optical disc while the optics focus on the label region of the optical disc by applying signals to the actuator according to the data profile.

Disclosed are various systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer readable medium for calibration of a lens position in an optical disc drive. In one embodiment, a method is provided that comprises manipulating a lens focus actuator to relocate the lens from a first position to a second position. The lens substantially focuses a laser onto the surface of the optical disc when in the second position. The method also comprises determining a first input setting delta to the lens focus actuator that corresponds to a predefined position offset of the lens. The first input setting delta is determined based upon a second input setting delta corresponding to a distance between the first position and the second position.
