摘要： A method of recording information on an information medium, especially on an optical recording medium with light. It has been hard to determine optimum power accurately due to the influence of the linearity and the mark length dependence on rewrite deterioration when a write parameter calibration on a phase change optical disk is performed by a conventional asymmetry method prior to information recording. According to the present invention, a single pattern or a random pattern is recorded on an information medium, and the difference between the clock and the data edge is detected using a reproduced signal. On the basis of this difference, the threshold power of the recording is determined and multiplied by a constant to optimize the recording power.

摘要： An optical disk device including a head amplifier for recording/reproducing a signal onto/from a disk. In DVD-RAM disks, the signal level differs depending on whether the section is the PID area or the data field. The highest level in the PID area is a mirror level, whereas the highest level in the data field is a land/groove level. The gain of the head amplifier is limited so that the mirror level will not exceed the dynamic range of the head amplifier. Therefore, the head amplifier needs to assure a sufficient signal quality and send such a signal to a subsequent processing circuit. The signal is amplified with different suitable gains respectively for the PID area and the data field. Or an offset voltage corresponding to a difference between the mirror level and the land/groove level is applied to the PID area. As a result, the gain for the signal of the data field can be increased.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention provide a disk drive that is capable of determining the offset of a magnetic head position through simple and easy processing in a case where the shingle write method is adopted, and that is capable of increasing the accuracy. In one embodiment, a disk drive comprises: a recording medium including data tracks, each of which is formed with part of the data track being overwritten by an adjacent data track on the inner circumferential side or by an adjacent data track on the outer circumferential side; a head assembly including a write head for writing information to the recording medium, and a read head for reading out information from the recording medium; and a control device for controlling a position of the head assembly relative to the recording medium. Position-error detection signals whose phases differ from each other are repeatedly written to the recording medium in the track direction with written positions of the position-error detection signals being deviated from each other by a track pitch in the track width direction; and the control device controls a position of the head assembly on the basis of a burst signal read by the read head.

摘要： In a partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) signal detection and processing technique, reduction of data detection error events caused due to medium noise is achieved. For a PRML detection data result obtained after PRML data demodulation, a code error event that depends on a signal distance, and which has a high frequency of occurrences, is noticed and its occurrence probability is estimated. A locally-existing medium noise quantity is estimated from preceding and subsequent code patterns of the PRML detection data result. Based on this, the occurrence probability of the error event is compensated to improve the detection precision. As a result, data modulation with reliability higher than conventional maximum likelihood detection can be realized with a simple circuit structure.

摘要： An optical tape apparatus having improved focus and tracking control. An optical head records, reproduces, or rewrites data on an optical tape by helically scanning the tape with a laser beam. A guide plate is disposed between the optical head and the tape to prevent the beam from becoming unfocused due to fluctuation of the tape cuased by an air film between the optical head and the tape. The optical head contains a semiconductor laser and an optical system exhibiting chromatic aberration for directing the laser beam onto the tape. The optical system includes a condenser lens for focusing the beam onto the tape. Fine focus control is achieved by changing the wavelength of the laser beam by directing part of the beam reflected from the tape back to the laser, thereby changing the focal point of the beam by virtue of the chromatic aberration of the optical system. Coarse focus control is achieved by mounting the condenser lens on a piezoelectric actuator which moves the consenser lens to focus the beam onto the tape. A recording head for recording timing marks and tracking signals on the tape is disposed in advance of the optical head. A reading head reads the timing marks and the optical head reads the tracking signals. The timing marks and tracking signals are used to control the operation of the apparatus such that the tape is transported with a constant speed and data on diagonal signal tracks on the tape is accurately recorded, reproduced, or rewritten.

摘要： To effectively suppress a signal in a low frequency region in which the medium noise and the signal distortion are concentrated, and in order to effectively utilize a detected component of the reproduced signal in the low frequency region, a target of partial response equalization to the perpendicularly recorded/reproduced signal is set so that the low-frequency component around the direct current is suppressed to a regulated quantity for both the effective suppression and the effective utilization. Accordingly, a maximum-likelihood decoding process is carried out through the target of partial response equalization. Reliability of data detection is made higher and a signal-to-noise ratio is improved, so that the noise from the recording medium can be reduced more and it is possible to provide a high-density magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus.

摘要： When jitter-like noise is prominent, sampling-phase control and amplitude control in a preamble pattern region is affected. It is possible to reduce effects of jitter-like noise without increasing the length of the preamble pattern. By altering a preamble pattern from that of a conventional 4T-cycle to 6T-cycle or over, amplitude data at a peak point of a reproduced signal, which is less affected by jitter-like noise, is utilized. Thus, the stability of the amplitude control can be improved. As to the phase control, a shift of the sampling timing is estimated by sample data of one cycle of the preamble pattern, and an acquisition procedure of the timing control is made faster.
