摘要:
A phase error detection apparatus and method is disclosed whereby a data signal is played back at a high S/N ratio from a magneto-optical disk making use of a ghost signal by magnetic domain wall displacement detection while the playback laser poser is kept at an optimum level. First, the laser power is controlled so that the time delay of a ghost signal from a data signal may be equal to a fixed multiple of a data detection clock. Thereupon, a laser power control section searches for a point at which the amount of jitters generated is small based on a RF signal. Then, the playback laser power is adjusted so that the time delay amount of the ghost signal from the data signal may be the fixed multiple n=5 of the clock nearest to the phase delay amount set in advance of a ghost which appears in the isothermal region with a laser power with which an optimum signal characteristic is obtained. In this instance, the laser power control section searches for a peak of the 5T amplitude of the displacement phase difference controlling pattern.

According to the present invention, when a land-groove recording method is adopted, thermal crosstalk between a land and an adjoining groove is suppressed effectively. Inhomogeneity of a recording layer between the land and groove is suppressed effectively. A substrate for optical recording media comprises groove-like concave parts (2) and convex parts each created between adjoining concave parts. A border sidewall (4) between a concave part and an adjoining convex part (2) has a plurality of sidewall planes, that is, at least a first sidewall plane (41) that leads to the bed of the concave part and a second sidewall plane (42) that leads to the apical plane of the convex part. The first sidewall plane meets the bed of the concave part at an angle ranging from 120° to less than 180°. The second sidewall plane meets the bed of the concave part at an angle ranging from 90° to 110°. A discontinuous part (6) is produced at least along a borderline between the first sidewall plane and second sidewall plane. The presence of the discontinuous part (6) is effective in minimizing thermal crosstalk between the concave part (2) and convex part (3) and suppressing inhomogeneity of a recording layer between a land and an adjoining groove.

A signal recording/playback apparatus includes a recording data converter. The recording data converter converts on a data pattern having a large influence on adjacent tracks on an optical disk, and outputs the converted data to an optical pickup. Specifically, by performing a data converting process in which, for a data pattern having a predetermined length of at least consecutive bits having identical values, part of the bits is inverted based on a conversion table, the recording data converter compensates a recording operation. Alternatively, instead of inverting the bits, by controlling the output power and pulse width of a laser, the recording operation is compensated. The signal recording/playback apparatus includes a played-back data converter. In the data playback mode of the signal recording/playback apparatus, the data converted by the recording data converter is identified and decoded into the original data by the played-back data converter. The played-back data converter outputs the original data.

摘要:
A laser beam from an LD 11 is irradiated onto a magnetooptic disk 33 by a predetermined power for a heat treatment. After the heat treatment, the laser beam of a power smaller than the power upon heat treatment is irradiated to the heat-treated area. Reflection light of the laser beam of the small power enters photodetectors 24 and 26 and reflection light amounts of a P wave and an S wave are detected, respectively. A differential detecting circuit 27 detects a level of a magnetooptic signal corresponding to the heat-treated area on the basis of the reflection light amounts of the P wave and the S wave. A controller 28 determines whether or not the magnetooptic signal level detected by the differential detecting circuit 28 lies within a permissible range. If it is out of the range, the power of the laser beam to execute the heat treatment is adjusted and the process of a magnetooptic disk is stopped or a message showing such a fact is displayed, or the like.
