Light reflected from an information carrier is injected into one or more VCSELs. The spatial intensity distribution of the emission from the VCSEL(s) is used for the generation of error signals in an optical pick-up unit. Alternatively, the relative timing for the switching of individual lasers of an array of VCSELs is used for the detection of error signals.

    摘要: A recording apparatus for recording channel symbols of a channel data stream on a record carrier (50), said apparatus being adapted for recording said channel symbols as a channel band (cb) of at least two symbol rows (sr) one-dimensionally evolving along a first direction (t) and aligned with each other along a second direction (r), said two directions constituting a two-dimensional lattice of symbol cells (sc) each being associated with a symbol area (sa) of the record carrier (50). To reduce the occurrence of leading and trailing edges of pit-marks in the recorded channel band, and in order to be able to write a small radial extent in said second direction in view of limiting cross-write effects, it is proposed to record a channel symbols in the form of a mark area (rpm) having a longitudial shape of a length in said first direction (1) substantially equal to the length of a symbol area (sa) in said first direction (t) and of a width in said second direction (r) being smaller than the width of a symbol area (sa) in said second direction (sa).
