This device is an arrangement for detecting a signal for effecting a focus control of an optical head with respect to an optical information recording medium by making use of a reflected light beam from the optical information recording medium. On an optical path for a reflected light beam reflected from the recording surface of the optical recording medium, a photodetector is provided. This photodetector is composed of a plurality of elements arranged symmetrically in the transverse cross section of the light beam. Thus, an output of the outside element and an output of the inside element of the plural elements arranged in the transverse cross section of the light beam are used to detect a focus error, thus to utilize the signal detected for the focus control.

The present invention provides an optical card wherein the irradiation position of laser beams is pulled back into an information recording section 1 in such a manner that the operation of recording or reproducing information can continue. In this optical card, information is recorded on or reproduced from a prescribed information recording section on a card surface in accordance with optical scanning along guide tracks provided in the card surface, and the optical card is provided with a mirror section arranged adjacent to the information recording section in the direction parallel to the direction of optical scanning of the information recording section. The optical card is characterized in that the mirror section is provided with at least one pair of curved auxiliary guide tracks that are connected to the guide tracks in the information recording section.

The present invention relates to the improvement in an apparatus for reproducing information from a card-like optical information recording medium including tracks for guiding and tracks for information. At least three light spots are formed in said card-like recording medium by light-spot forming means. Signal detection means then detects focusing control signals and tracking control signals by scanning said tracks for guiding with a spot among said light spots. Further, signal reproducing means reproduces information signals of plural tracks by scanning the information tracks with the remaining at least two light spots. The reproduced information signals of the plural tracks are stored in plural memories separately for each track. Subsequently, read-out means sequentially and successively reads the stored information by the time sharing system from each of the plural memories with a speed larger than that when said reproduced information has been input.

A write once type information recording medium having a recording format that includes sectors. Each Sector includes x pieces of p-bit frames. Each frame contains an f-bit synchronization signal region and a d-bit data region. Each bit of at least one x-bit packet in which a v-bit error correction code has been added to u-bit data, is distributed to each one of the data regions of the x pieces of frames. This makes it possible for the write once type information recording medium to have an increased data storage efficiency and an effective error correction capability for a burst error.
摘要:
A laser light beam generated from a light source is divided by a diffraction grating into a plurality of light beams, i.e., a single main beam to be used for recording information and plural auxiliary beams distributed on two imaginary straight lines crossing each other. One of the straight lines extends parallel to tracks of a recording medium. The resultant divided beams are converged to be irradiated onto a recording medium, and reflected components, from the recording medium, of the beams are received by corresponding light receiving elements. Thus, the main and auxiliary beams distributed on one of the two imaginary straight lines are used to perform focusing and tracking. Further, one of the two auxiliary beams distributed on the other straight line are used to determine whether a track where information is to be recorded is a blank area or not, and the other of the auxiliary beams is used to verify whether the information has been recorded correctly.

In an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus, information is recorded or reproduced by moving a recording medium relative to an optical head. In order to execute information recording onto the medium in the course of the relative movement involving acceleration and deceleration, the generation timing and intensity of a light beam to be generated in correspondence with the information to be recorded are controlled in response to a varying speed of the relative movement so that data pits to be formed in the recording medium can be standardized in pitch and size irrespective of the relative movement speed. Also, in order to permit information reproduction from the medium in the course of the relative movement involving acceleration and deceleration, reproduction timing of data read by the optical head is set in synchronism with variation in the relative movement speed so that the data can be reproduced at proper timing irrespective of the relative movement speed. With such arrangements, there can be achieved a highly increased information recording/reproduction speed, extended information recording area, reduced size and cost of the apparatus, and reduced power consumption in the apparatus.
摘要:
A position detector detects a relative position of an optical head to a recording medium, and on the basis of the thus-detected relative position, a position detection signal is generated in response to movement of a light beam over a predetermined distance. Then, in response to the position detection signal, a comparison is made between the number of track crossing counted for the predetermined movement distance on the basis of reception of reflection of the light beam, and a predetermined reference value for the predetermined movement distance. Then, track crossing count compensation data is generated which corresponds to a difference between the counted number of track crossing and the reference value, and the counted number of track crossing is corrected by use of such compensation data.
