摘要:
An optical disk information recording and reproducing device (100), which is used for recording and reproducing information on an optical disk (10), includes a system controller (19), a tracking control portion (15), a focus control portion (16) and an aberration correction portion (17). The system controller (19) adjusts a control parameter for recording and reproducing control of the optical disk (10) by using a tracking error signal TE that is detected from an region (30) having a wide track pitch on the optical disk (10). The tracking control portion (15), the focus control portion (16) and the aberration correction portion (17) record and reproduce information on the optical disk (10) by using the adjusted control parameter.
摘要:
In an optical disc drive, a laser light source emits a laser beam having an intensity changeable with the amount of drive current supplied. A first photodetector receives the laser beam reflected from an optical disc, thereby generating a readout signal. A second photodetector receives the laser beam, generates an electric signal representing the power of the laser beam received, and outputs the electric signal as a light quantity detection signal. A feedback control loop compares the level of the light quantity detection signal with a predetermined target value and regulates the drive current such that the level of the light quantity detection signal approaches the target value. In reading data from the optical disc, the target value is changed so as to compensate for a variation of the sensitivity of the second photodetector, thereby controlling the power of the laser beam emitted from the laser light source.

An optical disk medium includes a track groove thereon. On the optical disk medium, information is recorded along the track groove on a block unit basis. The block unit has a predetermined length. The block unit having the predetermined length includes a number of sub-blocks that are arranged along the groove. A sub-block mark is provided within each of the sub-blocks and used to identify the sub-block.

An optical disc medium 10 having a wobbled track groove 12 includes three wobble patterns including a flat wobble pattern, a positive pulse wobble pattern, and a negative pulse wobble pattern. In the flat wobble pattern, the amplitude of the wobble from the lengthwise direction of the track groove is zero such that the track groove is flat. In the positive pulse wobble pattern, the amplitude of the wobble from the lengthwise direction of the track groove is positive such that the track groove is wobbled in a first direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction. Further, in the negative pulse wobble pattern, the amplitude of the wobble from the lengthwise direction of the track groove is negative such that the track groove is wobbled in a second direction opposite to the first direction. Then, three data values can be recorded using three distinctive wobble patterns.

At the time of heterodyne detection, information is reproduced constantly in the optimum condition. A method reproduces information recording medium including a reference wobble block which has a first wobble pattern representing a first information content; and an information wobble block which follows the reference wobble block and which has at least one of the first wobble pattern and a second wobble pattern representing a second information and different from the first wobble pattern. The method includes reading the reference wobble block and the information wobble block; comparing a wobble pattern read from the information wobble block with the first wobble pattern of the reference wobble block; judging that information recorded in the information wobble block is the first information or the second information according to the wobble pattern read from the information wobble block; and outputting one of the first and the second information based on the judging result.
摘要:
An optical disc medium comprises a track groove, along which main information is recorded. The track groove is divided into a plurality of blocks. The plurality of blocks each include a plurality of frames. The plurality of frames each include one shape of wobbles indicating sub information, among a plurality of prescribed shapes of wobbles. The plurality of blocks each have address information. The address information is represented by a string of at least one piece of sub information represented by the shape of wobbles of at least one of the plurality of frames.

An optical disc medium, including a plurality of sector groups each being made up of multiple contiguous sectors on a track, is provided. In this optical disc medium, the location information of each of those sector groups is divided into a predetermined number of information pieces and distributed to associated sectors on the same track.
摘要:
In areas on an optical disk wherein defects are detected frequently, recording is carried out while the recording density of information blocks is lowered and the amount of picture information is reduced at the same time so that digital video signals can be recorded even when defects owing to dust and flaws are present on the optical disk and so that picture losses can be prevented from occurring during reproduction.
