摘要:
A driving circuit for driving a semiconductor laser by a driving signal containing a pulse signal representing given information and superposed on a DC bias signal includes means for monitoring intensity of laser light emitted when the DC bias is applied, and means for monitoring the intensity of laser light emitted when the pulse signal is applied. The DC bias signal and the pulse signal are varied in dependence on the result of comparisons between the outputs of the monitoring means and respective predetermined reference values.

An optical information processor records predetermined information along a track on a recording medium through the irradiation of a light beam intensity-modulated in accordance with the predetermined information. A tracking signal obtained when the light beam traces the track, is compared with first and second preset values which define a predetermined range. When the tracking signal departs from the predetermined range, the intensity modulation of the light beam or the recording operation is stopped, thereby preventing data destruction which otherwise occurs due to the digression of the light beam from the track.

A method of detecting a light spot control signal is disclosed in which, when information is reproduced from an optical disk for optically recording information, a signal level obtained at a high-reflectivity portion of the optical disk is taken out of a signal reproduced from the optical disk, and is used as a control signal, which controls a light spot so that it tracks information stored in the optical disk.

In an optical position detecting apparatus using moire, two light receiving elements are associated with a single light emitting element, and moire or grating portions of an auxiliary moire i.e., fixed sub-scale opposing the respective light receiving elements are arranged such that detection signals produced from the two light receiving elements upon movement of a movable moire i.e., main scale are substantially 180.degree. out of phase. The difference between the detection signals from the light receiving elements is used as a positioning signal, and the sum of the detection signals from the light receiving elements is used as a signal for controlling the input of the light emitting element.

In an optical memory apparatus wherein predetermined information is optically recorded on a recording medium along guide grooves previously formed and then played back; an optical memory apparatus wherein, using a tracking signal and a signal indicating the quantity of reflected light at the time at which a projected light beam passes through the guide grooves, the directions in which the light beam passes through the grooves and the number of the guide grooves to be passed are detected, a seek control is performed by adding and subtracting the numbers of the guide grooves to be passed, depending upon the directions of passage, and fine positioning is thereafter performed by the use of the tracking signal.
摘要:
An optical information recording system in which predetermined information is recorded by a first laser light beam on a recording medium along a guiding groove previously formed in the recording medium. Second and third laser light beams are projected onto the recording medium at positions deviated from the center of the guiding groove and preceding and succeeding to the first laser beam. A pattern in which no mutual interference of information to be recorded by the first laser beam is present is detected from an information signal which modulates the intensity of the first laser light beam. A difference is determined between the quantity of light reflected upon illumination of the recorded pattern by the second laser beam chronographically succeeding to the first laser beam and the quantity of light reflected upon illumination by the third laser beam. The position of the first laser beam is controlled on the basis of the thus determined difference for effecting an information tracking operation with improved accuracy.

In a light spot control signal generating device, a light spot is irradiated on a recording medium having tracks on which information is recorded. In order to jump the light spot from a track being scanned thereby to an adjacent track, a signal representative of light quantity of reflection or transmission of the light spot and a track error signal are detected. The two signals are used to judge whether the light spot has passed through an edge of the track. The track error signal is also used to detect a signal representative of an instant at which the light spot is present at the middle point between adjacent tracks, and this signal is used as a timing signal for changing the polarity of a control signal applied to a spot light deflector.
