In a method for recording/reproducing information, a reference pattern is recorded in a certain predetermined domain so that the leading-edge and the tailing-edge of a certain recorded portion are positioned in a predetermined relationship, when coded bits of data are recorded on a recording medium by forming recorded portions physically different from not recorded portions, while making them correspond to leading-edges and tailing-edges of the recorded portions. A first and a second reproduced signal indicating the leading-edge and the tailing-edge of the recorded portion, respectively, are detected independently from each other from a reproduced waveform corresponding to the recorded portion, which has been thus recorded; and the first and the second reproduced signal are reconstructed while correcting edge shifts produced at recording data by storing the first and second reproduced signal in a memory, so that the first and the second reproduced signal indicate the leading-edge and the tailing-edge of the recorded portion corresponding to the reference pattern, respectively, in the predetermined relationship.

In recording and/or reproducing data into and from a disk record medium having a record medium in which a plurality of tracks are arranged radially, the record area is divided into a plurality of zones, and a clock frequency is assigned to each zone. The data recording and/or reproducing are performed according to the clock of the frequency assigned to the respective zone. Each zone is subdivided to include a plurality of tracks, and a clock having a different frequency is assigned to each zone. Each frequency is set in such a manner that the record capacity of the track gradually becomes larger as the zone is nearer to the outer zone.

A method and an apparatus for recording and reproducing information for use with an optical disk apparatus in which a pit edge recording method is used. According to the pit edge recording method, the leading edge and the trailing edge of a hole pit or a record domain generated during a recording operation are dealt with as information. During the recording, the recording pulse width and the recording power are corrected, and during the reproduction, the variation in the edge position is corrected.

In optically coupling a plurality of light sources to an optical system for focusing light beams from the light sources into spots on a record plane, a center axis of a light beam from a first one of the light sources is aligned to an optical axis of the focusing optical system, and the spots other than a first spot formed by the light beam from the first light source are rotated around the first spot on the record plane to position the spots to the respective target tracks, and a tracking error signal for at least one of the first spot and another spot is detected and the positions of the plurality of spots are integrally controlled based on the detected tracking error signal so that the plurality of spots can follow the respective target tracks. The target tracks to which the spots are to be positioned may be either one track or different tracks. The positioning of the spots to the target tracks may be done either manually or automatically. In the automatic method, a tracking error signal is detected for the first spot, and a deflection mechanism for radially swinging beams from the laser light sources is controlled to control the positions of the spots on the record plane and to cause the first spot to follow the target track.

Method and apparatus for optically detecting information from a recording medium in which pits are formed by thermal energy of a light spot to record the information. A reproduction spot is irradiated onto the recording medium to produce a detection signal. From a differential signal of the detection signal, a signal indicative of zero points of the differential signal and a signal indicative of the presence of the pits are detected, and both the signals are used to detect positions of the pits. For stable and accurate detection of the pit position, the relation between pit size W and reproduction spot size W.sub.s is prescribed and the pit size and reproduction spot size are so set as to satisfy 0.45.ltoreq.W/W.sub.s .ltoreq.0.75.
摘要:
When recording domains are formed locally on a recording medium and information is recorded and reproduced by using rise and fall in a reproduced waveform obtained from the recording domains as data, timing patterns indicating start of demodulation are recorded for the lead-edge and the tail-edge of the recording domains, respectively; time interval between the timing signal for starting demodulation detected from the rise in the reproduced waveform and the timing signal for starting demodulation detected from the fall in the reproduced waveform is detected; time shifts of the signals detected from the lead-edge and the tail-edge of the recording domains succeeding the timing patterns for starting demodulation by using the time interval thus detected; and the information is stably detected as time sequential data having no jitter.
