A method for determining an optimal combination of focus bias and spherical aberration compensating value (SA value) in an optical disc drive is provided. Firstly, a first focus bias is set, the SA values are adjusted and the corresponding tracking error signal values are measured. Second-order-approximation is performed to obtain a first maximum value of tracking error signal. Secondly, a second focus bias is set, the SA values are adjusted and the corresponding tracking error signal values are measured. Second-order-approximation is performed to obtain a second maximum value of tracking error signal. Thirdly, a third focus bias is set, the SA values are adjusted and the corresponding tracking error signal values are measured. Second-order-approximation is performed to obtain a third maximum value of the tracking error signal. The three maximum values are compared to obtain the optimal combination of focus bias and SA compensating value in the optical disc drive.

An optical disc identifying device includes an optical pickup head, a digital signal processor and a radio frequency amplifier. The optical pickup head has a plurality of laser diodes and a lens. During a start-up procedure, a non-blue laser diode of the optical pickup head is turned on to irradiate a loaded optical disc, thereby generating an electronic signal. The digital signal processor outputs a driving signal, thereby controlling a motor driver to move the lens in a focusing direction. The radio frequency amplifier receives the electronic signal during the movement of the lens, thereby generating a first signal. The digital signal processor includes a detecting unit for comparing the first signal with a slicing signal to generate a pulse signal, and determining whether the optical disc is a blue-ray disc or a non-blue-ray disc according to a pulse number of the pulse signal.

A spherical aberration compensation method is provided. A first thickness of a cover layer at a first radius position of an optical disc is measured. A second thickness of the cover layer at a second radius position of the optical disc is measured. A spherical aberration calibration is performed at a third radius position of the optical disc to obtain an optimal spherical aberration compensation value. According to the first and second radius positions, the first and second thicknesses, and the optimal spherical aberration compensation value at the third radius position, a spherical aberration compensation formula is acquired. Afterwards, an updated spherical aberration compensation value is calculated by the spherical aberration compensation formula according to a fourth radius position where an optical pickup head of the optical disc drive is located. The updated spherical aberration compensation value is inputted into a spherical aberration compensator of the optical disc drive.

An optical storage system and a spherical aberration (SA) compensation apparatus and method thereof are provided. The SA compensation apparatus includes a microprocessor and a digital-signal-processor (DSP). The microprocessor regulates a compensation value of an SA compensation driver in the optical-pickup-head (OPH) several times after the microprocessor has determined the type of an optical storage medium and before the OPH has not focused on the optical storage medium. The DSP processes a plurality of electrical signals converted through the OPH whenever the microprocessor has regulated the compensation value of the SA compensation driver, so as to obtain width values of a plurality of focus-error (FE) signals. Accordingly, the microprocessor makes the SA compensation driver to drive an SA compensation unit according to the width values of the FE signals, so as to compensate an SA of the light point generated by the OPH and focused on the optical storage medium.
