摘要:
A signal processing method for recording and playing back recorded data with decreased detection errors originating from residual marks characteristic of an overwrite medium is performed by 8/9 modulating input data, and by inverting the polarity of the modulated data string at each "1" bit to produce a DC-free recording pulse. The thus-recorded signal is played back through a playback equalizer 8 before being converted by an A/D converter 9 into digitized amplitude data. The digitized data are processed to determine an identification level, which identification level is stored as well as used to determine displacement quantities for quantized bits derived from the analog playback signal. The number of "1" bits is counted by a counter 20, and an error in the number of "1" bits is detected by a comparator 21. An error bit decision circuit 22 determines which bit is most likely to be erroneous on the basis of displacement quantity, and the likely erroneous bit is corrected prior to outputting the data for 8/9 demodulation.

A method of recording data into a recording medium by forming a recording region which is physically different from the nonrecorded portions is disclosed. The optical data recording/reproducing method includes a first trial writing operation in which trial writing data are recorded into the recording medium while changing the recording power conditions, the recorded trial writing data are reproduced, and the reproduced trial writing data are evaluated to set an optimum recording power. The method also includes a second trial writing operation in which trial writing data are recorded into the recording medium while changing the servo conditions, the recorded trial writing data are reproduced, and the reproduced trial writing data are evaluated to set optimum servo conditions.

An optical disk recording/reproducing apparatus includes at least a focus shift mechanism for controlling a lens to focus a laser beam on a disk so as to form a beam spot on the disk, a reproduced signal evaluator for evaluating the quality of the reproduced signal on the basis of the output from a reproduced signal detector, a controller for setting the operation target point of the focus shift mechanism, where the best quality of the reproduced signal is attained, on the basis of the output from the reproduced signal evaluator, and an offset generator circuit for outputting a focus offset signal in response to a command from the controller. The operation target point of the focus shift mechanism is set to the optimal point where the jitter in the reproduced signal is rendered minimum.

摘要:
A magneto-optical disk recording control method using the mark length recording method wherein the marks and gap regions between marks are recorded on the surface of the disk by maintaining a constant temperature distribution during the recording. The laser is driven to a non-recording level in gap regions between marks that exceed a base recording level used for reproduction of the marks. When a mark is recorded, the laser power is increased to a recording power level and after the mark has been recorded, the laser power level is reduced to the base power level, followed by being raised to the gap recording level. Control of the laser is performed by superposing a plurality of pulse trains that are synchronized with respect to a clock having a cycle T. The pulse trains are derived from the code train to be recorded and have pulses with a duration that is an integral multiple of (1/2)T. If the pulse width of the recording code train exceeds 2T, then the laser is controlled to reach a first power level in accordance with pulses of a first pulse train, be reduced to the gap recording level and then raised to a second power level in accordance with a second recording pulse train to maintain the temperature distribution constant during the recording of the mark. For the recording of longer marks, the laser is controlled to vary between the second power level and the gap recording level.

摘要:
An optical recording control method determines an optimum recording laser power by effecting a test recording before information to be recorded is recorded on a disk. The recording laser power is formed of a plurality of powers. A relationship among the plurality of laser powers is regulated by power level ratios between respective powers, whereby a power used when a laser light is radiated on the disk can be controlled to be constant independent of an ambient temperature and a structure of a disk. Therefore, accurate recording marks can be formed on the disk.

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.
