    摘要: Disclosed is an optical disk apparatus having a zero-cross signal generating unit for differentiating a reproduced signal read from an optical disk and outputting a zero-cross signal when the differentiated signal crosses the zero level, and a gate signal generating unit for generating a gate signal using the reproduced signal, wherein a data pulse is outputted when the zero-cross signal is generated while the gate signal is being produced. A clamping circuit clamps the peak of a reproduced signal from an optical disk, an amplitude comparator compares the amplitude of a clamped signal, which is outputted by the clamping circuit, with a reference voltage, and an AGC control unit controls the gain of a variable-gain amplifier by generating a control voltage signal in dependence upon an amplitude difference. The gate signal generating unit generates the gate signal upon comparing the clamped signal outputted by the clamping circuit with a prescribed signal level. A data-pulse output unit outputs the data pulse when the zero-cross signal of the differentiated reproduced signal is generated while the gate signal is being produced.

    摘要: A magnetooptic recording medium having a writing layer and a readout layer on a substrate is used. Data is recorded in the writing layer of the magnetooptic recording medium at a recording density smaller than a diameter of a focal spot of a laser beam. The data recorded in the writing layer of the magnetooptic recording medium at the recording density smaller than the beam diameter is reproduced by setting a reproducing laser power to a proper value. A reproduction laser power calibrating module executes the reproducing operation for calibration of the magnetooptic recording medium, thereby deciding the optimum value of the laser power which is used upon reproduction. For example, the reproduction laser power calibrating module measures a change in reproduction signal while raising the reproducing laser power by using a predetermined minimum reproducing laser power W0 as an initial value and a value obtained by adding a predetermined value Wc to the reproducing laser power (W) when the reproduction signal doesn't change to the optimum reproducing laser power.

    摘要: The present invention provides an information storage apparatus that generates a tracking error signal based on a detection signal, and performs various control operations based on the tracking error signal. When the operation mode is a seek operation mode, the information storage apparatus generates a tracking error signal by holding the peak value of the detection signal. When the operation mode is a tracking operation mode, the information storage apparatus generates a tracking error signal directly from the detection signal. With this information storage apparatus, stable control operations can be performed, regardless of changes of conditions.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for optical recording addresses a problem of edge shift which occurs during the recording. The apparatus includes a rotating mechanism for rotating an optical medium, and an optical head having a light source for recording information on the optical medium. A moving mechanism moves the optical head to a predetermined position on the optical medium, and a recording controlling device controls light source of the optical head in accordance with a recording pulse. The recording controlling device includes a pulse width measuring device for measuring the pulse width of a recording pulse, and fall controlling device effects a recording compensation by advancing a fall of the recording pulse with a lead, such that the lead increases with the measured pulse width. A pulse interval measuring device is provided for measuring a pulse interval preceding the recording pulse, and a rise controlling device effects a recording compensation by delaying a rise of the recording pulse with a delay, such that the delay decreases with the measured pulse interval.

    摘要: An optical disk apparatus adapted to a mark edge recording method having a structure such that a data pattern experimentally recorded on an optical disk with one write power is reproduced plural times while changing reproducing conditions (for example, a slice level for binary-coding a reproduced analog signal) and the number of errors is calculated whenever the reproducing process is performed. The thus-structured process is repeated for using a plurality of write powers. An appropriate write power for the optical disk is determined in accordance with the obtained results of the calculations of the number of errors. In a case of a read-only optical disk, a data pattern experimentally and previously recorded on the optical disk is reproduced plural times by changing the reproducing conditions (for example, a slice level for binary-coding a reproduced analog signal), and the number of errors is calculated whenever the reproducing process is performed. In accordance with the obtained results of the calculations of the number of errors, an appropriate reproducing condition for the optical disk is determined.
