Abstract: The present techniques present methods and systems for increasing a data reading rate on optical data disks using a single reading head. The methods take advantage of the difference between a mean focal distance (MFD), or minimum spacing that the detector can distinguish between bits, and the minimum separation of bits in a single track to increase the reading speed. As the bits may be more closely spaced across adjacent tracks or layers, these techniques may be used to increase the reading speed of the disk. Specifically, the data symbols that make up a single bit-stream may be stored in a pattern horizontally across adjacent tracks, or vertically across adjacent layers. Accordingly, the focal point of the detector is scanned across the disk in the same pattern to read the individual data symbols.

Abstract translation: 本技术提出了使用单个读取头来增加光学数据盘上的数据读取速率的方法和系统。 这些方法利用了平均焦距（MFD）或检测器可以区分位的最小间距以及单个轨道中位的最小间隔以增加读取速度之间的差异。 由于位可以在相邻轨道或层之间更紧密地间隔开，所以这些技术可以用于增加盘的读取速度。 具体地，构成单个位流的数据符号可以以相对于相邻轨迹的水平方式或跨越相邻层的垂直方式存储在图案中。 因此，检测器的焦点以相同的图案扫描在盘上以读取各个数据符号。

Abstract: The present techniques provide methods and systems reading a data bit of interest on an optical data disc with a reduced error rate. The data bit estimation may be improved by reducing deterministic noise resulting from an optical reader system and/or the optical data disc. The reader may adjust the position of a detector to detect light scattered from the disc based on parameters of known noise sources. In one embodiment, the detector may be moved vertically in relation to the data bit of interest on the optical disc. In another embodiment, more than one detector may be used to detect light scattered from a data bit of interest. In embodiments, the positioning of the detector(s) may be based on system or disc parameters, and the detected scatterings may provide a data reading, improved for an optical return from a present micro-hologram.
