    摘要: A magnetooptic disk has circumferentially-spaced-apart, radially-aligned embossed sector areas which indicate data storage tracks. The sector areas include embossed signals which indicate track following information, and in a second area which trails the track-following information, track-seeking information is carried by the embossed signals. A magnetooptic coating covers the entire disk including the embossed sector areas. Readback clock synchronization signals are recorded over the track seeking area to enable synchronizing a readback phase locked loop such that more of the areas between adjacent sector areas can be used for recording data signals. During track seeking, the track seek controlling embossed signals are read using intensity demodulation, while in track following, during a readback, the clock signals recorded over the embossing are read for synchronizing the readback circuits. During recording, the synchronization signals are recorded over the embossed area dedicated to track seeking.

    摘要: A system to monitor write power calibration values in an optical drive to detect media and lens contamination, and take appropriate remedial action when contamination is found. A laser device writes data to an optical medium housed in the optical drive by imparting a laser beam upon the medium. The laser device provides the laser beam with a level of output power selected in accordance with a W/C value. A controller generates and repeatedly updates the W/C value, and provides it to the laser device. The controller samples the W/C value at selected times, and compares it to a predetermined value. If the W/C value exceeds the predetermined value, the controller executes a specific operational sequence. For example, the controller may issue a contamination warning. When the W/C value exceeds a second predetermined value, the controller may logically write-protect the optical medium, or shift the medium to another optical drive. Where the controller is implemented in an optical library with multiple optical drives, the controller may store a comprehensive list of W/C values for the drives.
