摘要:
The laser beam control apparatus according to the invention having a photodiode for outputting a current consisting of high and low-frequency components in accordance with the amount of a laser beam emitted from a laser diode. The current output from the photodiode is separated into high and low-frequency components by a CR filter, and the separated low-frequency current is amplified by an amplifier. The current amplified by this amplifier is added to the high-frequency current separated by the CR filter. The resulting sum current is converted into a voltage by an amplifier, and the amount of the laser beam emitted from the laser diode is controlled in accordance with the voltage converted by this amplifier. With this operation, the laser beam output power of the laser diode can be stably controlled in a wide band.

An apparatus and method for detecting and replacing a defective sector on an optical disk. Recording data and error correction data are recorded on an optical disk at a manufacturing time or an initial time. The recorded data and the error correction data are reproduced in units of one sector. A defective sector is determined when address data in an address field cannot be reproduced or when a number of errors in at least one sector exceeds a specified value. Address data of the defective sector is recorded in a defect list on the optical disk. Recording data and error correction data are successively recorded on the optical disk in a plurality of successive block areas. Defective sectors are skipped and recording data and error correction data are recorded in a unit of one block beginning in a next sector area. When a defective sector is detected after recording the recording data and the error correction data at a time other that the initial time or the manufacturing time, the recording data and the error correction data are recorded in a block area being different than a block area containing the defective sector.

In this invention, in an optical disk on which data is to be recorded in units of one ECC block constructed by 16 sectors, dummy data is recorded at the manufacturing time or at the initial time such as the application starting time, then the dummy data is reproduced to determine a sector with primary defect, the address of the sector which is determined to have the primary defect is recorded on the optical disk, and at the time of data recording, data recording is effected in units of one ECC block while skipping over the sector with the primary defect. The determining condition for the primary defect is a case where address data of the address field cannot be reproduced, or where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or more. Further, in the optical disk on which data is to be recorded in units of one ECC block, data is recorded at the time of data recording other than the initial time, then the data is reproduced to determine an ECC block having a sector with secondary defect, and data of the ECC block which is determined to have the sector with secondary defect is recorded in an ECC block which is separately prepared. The determining condition for the secondary defect is a case where address data of the address field cannot be reproduced (first condition), where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or more (second condition), where the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is not larger than five, the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is three or more and the number of rows in which the number of error bytes in one block area is four or more is ten or more, or where at least two sector areas in which the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is five or less and the number of rows in which the number of error bytes is four or more is three or more are present in one block area.

An apparatus for focusing a light beam onto an object includes a directing element for directing the light beam onto the object, a first detector for detecting the light beam from the object so as to generate a focus signal representing a distance of the directing element with respect to the object. The apparatus further includes a generator for generating a reproduced signal representing the data from the focal signal generated by the first detector. An adjuster adjusts the location of the directing element with respect to the object in accordance with the envelope of the reproduced signal generated by the generator.

In a case where tracking control is carried out by a lens actuator in performing a tracking pull-in operation in which tracking control is started in the state where tracking control is out of operation, the tracking control circuit brings control into stable tracking control by moving the light spot onto a groove on the optical disc. After that, when tracking onto a land is needed, the tracking control circuit moves the light spot onto the land. This enables a pull-in action toward a stable tracking operation.

摘要:
An apparatus for recording data on an M-CAV-formatted optical disk. The disk has a plurality of substantially concentric tracks grouped into a plurality of zones arranged in a radial direction of the disk. Each of the zones is divided into the same number of sectors, each used as a unit area, and has a different assigned frequency at which to read read data from the sectors. Header information is recorded in the start region of each sector and identifies the sector. Provided next to the start region is a data field in which data is to be recorded. The apparatus is designed to record data in the data field by using a master clock signal having a specific frequency assigned to the zone including that data field. The apparatus has a master clock setting circuit for setting the frequency assigned to any zone to which the zone will be switched from the zone in which data is being recorded. When the zone is switched to that zone, the gain of the master clock setting circuit is increased temporarily, thereby switching the frequency of the master clock signal within a short time.
