    摘要： An optical disk drive system having a means for detecting off-track conditions with high reliability under conditions causing the objective lens to deviate from optimal focus, such as in the presence of external mechanical shocks. As the lens travels out of focus, the ability to resolve features decreases due to the lose of image contrast, causing a loss of tracking error signal (TES) gain. A digital signal processor (DSP) compensates for this loss by continuously determining an adjustable TES threshold representing the same desired percentage off track and same percentage of TES amplitude. A straight line approximation of this ideal adjustable threshold is used as a threshold to determine if the beam is within the desired amount off track. Alternatively, the DSP amplifies the TES by an amplification function to maintain the TES at a constant value while the objective lens travels out of focus. The TES amplification function is a straight line approximation of an ideal amplification function. The amplified TES is then compared against a fixed TES threshold to determine if the beam is within the desired amount off track. The DSP compensates for head optics astigmatism by shifting the adjustable TES threshold and adjustable TES amplification to a corrected position corresponding to the optimum TES. Dual adjustable and fixed TES thresholds are utilized to filter noise glitches on smaller off track conditions and simultaneously provide fast detection of large off track excursions.

    摘要： An apparatus for attenuating optical crosstalk induced components of a focus error signal in an optical disk drive of the type having a grooved optical disk with servo tracks and tracking and focus servo systems controlled by a digital signal processor. A calibration operation is performed whenever a new disk is inserted into the track. During the calibration operation, the disk is scanned about a tracking axis at a track crossing frequency greater than the focus servo system bandwidth. The focus error signals produced when the disk is scanned are filtered about a pass band including the track crossing frequency. Crosstalk values equal to values of the filtered focus error signals are determined as a function of corresponding values of the tracking error signals, and are stored in memory. A correction operation is performed while reading and writing data on the disk. During the correction operation, the crosstalk values are read from memory as a function of corresponding values of the tracking error signals, and summed with the focus error signals.

    摘要： A system and method for maintaining focus of a laser beam on the surface of an erasable magneto-optic disk during erase operations is disclosed. The laser beam exhibits beam farfield shift during erase operations, complicating the maintenance of optimal focus. An optical detector is exposed to laser light reflected to the disk to generate signals governing operation of a focusing lens' servo system. A digital signal processor is included in the servo system and is programmed to compensate for beam farfield shift by generation of an offset correction signal during periods of erase power operation. The offset correction signal is generated by the digital signal processor by comparison of optical detector output signals generated during operation of the laser source where no beam farfield shift occurs and the output signals generated where beam farfield shift is occurring, but the system is known to be in focus.

    摘要： An optical disk recording system including a record medium is disclosed for providing an accurate track crossing count and an accurate track following signal. A first embodiment utilizes off-centered wobbled areas located in the headers of the record medium. The high frequency content of a first signal is combined with the low frequency content of a second signal, which is generated using the wobbled areas. In another embodiment, light-reflective discontinuities are provided in the header areas of the record medium. A qualifier and an AGC are utilized in providing a corrected track following signal. In still another embodiment, reflective discontinuities are located in the servo areas of the record medium. In such an embodiment, it is preferred that there is a fixed gain adjustment to a radial push-pull signal. With regard to each of the three aforesaid embodiments, a track following signal is corrected to compensate for aberrations that are caused by a shift of the light beam returned from the record medium surface. In yet another embodiment, the track following signal is generated using only the central aperture or wobble signal. In this embodiment, it is preferred that three pits be utilized in connection with the track following operation. The three pits are provided in two servo bytes of information located in the servo areas. Two of the three pits are wobble pits and the third pit is used in clocking.
