On a base are provided an optical system having a light emitting element and a light sensing element, as well as an optical path deflecting element which performs a precision tracking. Further, an objective lens and a light guide element are provided on a rotating element which performs track seek and rough tracking. The light guide element comprises two reflecting members which are opposed in parallel with each other.

An optical disc recording apparatus records a digital content onto an optical disc so that the perfect copying of the digital content is difficult without proper authorization. The optical disc recording apparatus includes a formatter for generating a channel signal corresponding to primary digital information, a secret key storing unit for prestoring secondary digital information, a pseudo random number generator for generating a pseudo random number series, an XOR for logically inverting the pseudo random number series according to each bit of the secondary digital information, a PE modulator for generating a PE modulation signal according to the logically inverted pseudo random number series, a phase modulator for modulating the phase of each edge of the channel signal by a fixed slight time according to the value of the PE modulation signal, and a recording channel for forming recording marks on a DVD according to the modulated channel signal.

Pairs of synchronizing marks are formed on a record carrier periodically. At least one of the marks in every pair is located away from a track center line on which information data are to be recorded. Those marks are recovered by a reading head and fed to a phase lock loop in order to minimize phase error of synchronization. The phase lock loop produces a pair of synchronizing signals so as to derive a phase error signal from either of the marks. Therefore, continual phase error signal for the phase lock operation is obtained even when the reading head locates away from the track center line. Accordingly, stability of the synchronization will be improved.

An apparatus is described for reading/writing an optical recording carrier, which have information pits aligned in a track. In order to get a focus error signal, the apparatus has two pairs of photo sensor elements, two phase detection circuits for the two pairs of photo sensor elements, and an adder circuit for adding outputs of the two phase detection circuits. The elements are placed symmetrically about an optical axis in a far field area of the pits.

A digital modulator converts M-bit data words to N-bit code words (N>M) each containing a specific number of bits `1`. The specific number is one of a plurality of predetermined numbers which are different by at least 3 from one another. A specific data word may be converted to either one of two code words having different numbers of bits `1` from each other so as to reduce DC components of a channel code constituted by the code words.

A system for encoding/decoding an 8-bit binary code into/from a 4/11 channel code is disposed such that an 8-bit binary code is encoded into a 11-bit channel code by adding a 3-bit extension code as a parity code which keeps the number of "1"s in the channel code at four. When the 8-bit binary code cannot be encoded by this rule, it is converted to a temporary 8-bit code by a table encoder and then a 3-bit extension code is added. The 4/11 channel code is decoded referring to the 3-bit extension code, which indicates the encoding rule by which the 4/11 channel code has been generated. When the 4/11 channel code is detected to have been encoded by the bits-adding rule, an original 8-bit binary code is derived from the 4/11 code by removing the 3-bit extension code. When the 4/11 channel code has been encoded by the table-encoding rule, it is decoded by a table decoder.

An optical head for a recording/reproducing apparatus optically recording and/or reading information onto or from a recording medium, collimates a divergent light beam radiated from a light source into a parallel light beam using a collimator lens comprised of the first and second lenses. Collimation can precisely be adjusted by adjusting only the position of second lens. The first lens is a positive lens. The second lens has a power less than the total power of the collimator lens. Collimation adjustment can be done with extreme accuracy even when disposing a prism in the path of the parallel light beam.

The information such as address is to be efficiently formed into wobble components and further the S/N ratio in reproducing the information formed into the wobble components is to be improved. In an optical disc of the present invention, there are recorded in a wobble the address information modulated in accordance with the MSK (minimum shift keying) system and the address information modulated in accordance with a modulation system in which even harmonics signals are added to a sinusoidal carrier signal and in which the polarity of the harmonics signal is changed depending on the sign of the data for modulation.

摘要:
An apparatus is described for recording/reproducing to/from an optical record carrier by means of a laser light beam. The record carrier has pre-recorded sarvo marks aligned in a track. In order to get a focus error signal, the apparatus measures phase difference between signals from two photo sensor elements which receive the laser light beam through the record carrier. A circuit for measuring the phase difference has a first and a second phase shift circuits, RS flip-flops and a focus error converter which has a shift register and a low-pass filter. The signals from the photo sensor elements are fed to the first and second phase shift circuits, respectively. The second phase shift circuit is composed of a plurality of delay elements, output of which are fed to the S inputs of the RS flip-flops. Data at the S inputs are latched in response to an output signal of the first phase shift circuit which is fed to R inputs of the RS flip-flops. Latched data are fed to the shift register for converting to a serial signal. The serial signal, then, is low-pass-filtered to become a focus error signal.
