When user data is recorded on a write-once medium, linking variations can be reduced that are produced as management information for managing the user data is updated by additionally recording on and off, thereby assuring the reliability of the reproduction compatibility of the DVD player.Before the final file of the management information is recorded, dummy data of a plurality of successive blocks are recorded at a time by a single operation, and then the final file is additionally recorded after the dummy data. Therefore, the linking precision can be prevented from being degraded in the linking portions of the management information, and thus the management information can be properly read when the DVD player makes compatible reproduction of the medium.

An optical disc apparatus capable of restraining thermal deformation of an optical disc due to transmission of a heat from a spindle motor to the disc, comprises a turn table rotated by the spindle motor, for holding the disc, a bearing portion provided in the spindle motor, for holding a rotary shaft of the table, and a cooling element provided at the outer periphery of the bearing portion, for thermoelectrically cooling the bearing portion. The bearing portion can be directly cooled by the cooling element. Since the heat from the spindle motor is transmitted to the table through the bearing portion, the heat generated from the motor can be prevented from being transmitted to the table by cooling the bearing portion, and further, the table can be cooled. Thus, no heat is transmitted from the table to the optical disc, thereby thermal deformation of the optical disc can be retrained.

An optical disc apparatus including a system controller that receives a recording control command via an interface. A recording control block that receives a recording method command signal indicative of one of recording with verify and real time recording and recording data from the system controller. An optical head that modulates the power of laser beam using a recording pulse sent from the control block and records the recording data on an information recording medium. The recording data is recorded in the information recording medium according to the recording with verify and the real time recording using different recording power respectively, in which under the recording with verify, the recording power determined by recording compensation learning is used, and under the real time recording, the recording power higher than the recording power obtained by the recording compensation learning is used.

There is provided an optical disk apparatus that can inhibit, during recording or reproduction of data on or from an optical disk, a side runout that may occur in the optical disk in its circumferential direction as a result of Coriolis force when a disk rotating shift is subjected to procession movement, thereby allowing recording and reproducing quality to be stabilized and a reduced size of the apparatus. The disk apparatus provided has pressure pawls arranged at intervals smaller than those in the prior art, each of which is provided with a plurality of pressing points arranged at intervals larger than those in the prior art. Particularly, an interval between the pressure pawls is an acute angle in terms of the center angle of the disk. An interval between the pressing points is an angle of 35° or larger.

A recording method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along tracks formed on the substrate, each of the tracks being divided into a plurality of units, each of the units including a dropout portion of the groove structure which is a non-groove portion along the track in a circumferential direction of the track, the groove structure being wobbled in a fixed cycle in a radial direction which continues in the circumferential direction along the track. When the wobble is formed in the circumferential direction of the track, the dropout portion is formed so that a phase of the wobble is continued with a phase of the wobble of the groove structure within another unit adjacent to the dropout portion. The method includes providing the optical medium, and recording information by irradiating an optical spot on the medium.

An apparatus for reproducing information recorded on an optical recording medium, including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along tracks formed on the substrate, each of the tracks being divided into a plurality of recording units. Each of the recording units includes a dropout portion in a circumferential direction of the groove structure with the dropout portion being a non-groove portion. The groove structure is formed with a wobble in a fixed cycle in a radial direction which continues in the circumferential direction along the track. Each length of the recording units is an integer multiple of the cycle of the wobble. The apparatus includes an irradiation source for irradiating a light spot on the medium, an optical detector for detecting a reflected light from the medium, and a reproducer for reproducing information by using a signal from the optical detector.

Disclosed is an optical recording and reproducing apparatus comprising a light source directing a light spot toward a recording medium, a detection system detecting light reflected from the recording medium to derive an electrical signal from the reflected light, an information processing circuit modulating the intensity of the light spot according to writing pulses to record information on the recording medium and using the electrical signal to reproduce information from the recording medium, and a tracking servo circuit carrying out tracking servo operation on the basis of the electrical signal and including an extracting circuit connected to a source of extracting pulses having a pulse width at least equal to the writing pulse width so that writing pulse parts contained in the electrical signal are extracted during recording information, whereby a track offset occurring during information recording can be minimized, and the stability of the tracking servo system can be improved.
摘要:
Because a series of data is recorded continuously, the recording quality of data recorded in course of recording cannot be evaluated. Accordingly, the laser output cannot be controlled properly and there are a deterioration and dispersion of the recording quality. Further, when the recording lasts for a long time, the temperature in the vicinity of laser rises due to the heat from the inside of a disc drive and the recording quality is deteriorated.To solve this, a series of data to be recorded is split and recording is made intermittently in a split data unit. The recording quality is evaluated by reproducing the data recorded nearby before each split data is recorded using a duration and control is performed by reflecting the evaluation result in the laser output so that the recording quality can be maintained satisfactorily over a series of the whole data to be recorded. Further, control is performed so that good recording quality can be maintained even in the recording that lasts for a long time by stopping the function of each part that ought to be operated even at recording or reproduction inside the disc drive in the duration, thereby suppressing a temperature rise.
