    摘要: An optical disk apparatus has a galvanic mirror error signal generation circuit for detecting that the galvanic mirror rotates more than an allowed limit value in directions P and Q. When it is detected by the galvanic mirror error signal generation circuit that the galvanic mirror rotates more than the allowed limit value, the light intensity of the light spot is changed from the recording-use (or erasing-use) light intensity into the reproducing-use light intensity. Accordingly, recording and erasing of information is always carried out by the projection of the light beam having a predetermined light intensity, thereby always providing a high grade of optical disk apparatus.

    摘要: An optical disk using both grooves and lands as a recording track is provided with {circle around (1)} a data area for recording/reproducing data and {circle around (2)} DMAs (Data Management Areas) for managing a defective sector in the data area. The DMAs include four DMAs A–D all formed on the lands. The DMA B(D) is formed behind the ending sector of the DMA A(C). This arrangement realizes a DMA format having high resistance to defects and improving a processing rate. Consequently, highly reliable optical disk and optical disk apparatus can be provided.

    摘要: A clock extracting section generates a first clock synchronized with a reproducing signal, and a second clock with a frequency twice a frequency of the first clock. An AD converter quantizes the reproducing signal at timing of the second clock. A data classifier classifies the quantized data into two quantized data streams with a period of the first clock. Each equalizer equalizes the two quantized data streams to (1,1) and (1,2,1) partial response characteristics. Each branch metric arithmetic unit calculates a corresponding branch metric respectively. A synthesizer calculates a sum of them so as to generate a synthetic branch metric. An ACS circuit and a data decoding section Viterbi-decode data according to the synthetic branch metric. As a result, even if an SN ratio is lowered by increase in interference between codes and a noises at the time of recording at high density, an error of decoded data can be decreased.

    摘要: An optical disk device of a simple structure using an optical pickup alone as read mechanism for detecting a thickness of the substrate of an optical disk. The optical disk device (1) carries out the focus search by moving the focal point of a laser beam emitted through an objective lens in a direction along the thickness of the optical disk in a region covering both the substrate surface and the recording layer, (2) converts S-shaped wave forms produced in a focus error signal FES from a two-piece photo-diode when the focal point passes through the substrate surface and recording layer, respectively into a digital signal CP.sub.out, and (3) detects a pulse interval of the digital signal CP.sub.out, by means of an MPU. Since the MPU detects the number of pulses of the digital signal CP.sub.out, the optical disk device can also detect the number of the recording layers.

    摘要: A feedback control apparatus in an optical recording and reproducing device for recording, reproducing and/or erasing data from an optical recording medium projects a light beam emitted from an optical head onto the optical recording medium. The apparatus includes an actuator for controlling the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the optical recording medium, a detection unit for detecting the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the optical recording medium, and a control amplifier for driving the actuator in accordance with a detection signal outputted from the detection unit, thereby controlling the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the recording medium. The apparatus further includes a switching device for selectively switching from a detection signal from the detection unit to a reference signal, or vice versa, and for inputting into the control amplifier, the reference signal having the same signal level as that of a detection signal which is expected to be outputted from the detection unit when the illuminating conditions of the light beam projected onto the recording medium are appropriate. An offset compensation device outputs an offset compensation signal to the control amplifier. The offset compensation signal is set such that a control signal generated in the control amplifier has a predetermined signal level when the reference signal is inputted into the control amplifier. The apparatus prevents a DC offset from being included in the control signal from the control amplifier and reduces the procedures required for adjustment during the manufacturing process without employing expensive parts and devices and the like, thereby lowering the production costs.
