摘要:
An optical disk apparatus includes a semiconductor laser for emitting a light beam, and an automatic power control or APC circuit for driving the laser. A compound prism structure is optically coupled to the laser in an optical head section, and defines a first optical path for causing a front laser light to be projected onto a rotating optical disk and guiding a reflected light therefrom toward a first photodetector, and a second optical path for guiding a part of the reflected light toward a second photodetector. An output signal of the first photodetector is used to generate a reproduced information signal. An output signal of the second photodetector is fed back to the APC circuit as a front light monitor signal. A part of a laser control signal internally generated in the APC circuit is supplied through a wiring line to a noise reduction circuit as a laser noise monitor signal. The noise reduction circuit subtracts this noise monitor signal from the reproduced information signal to provide a noise-suppressed information signal.

According to this invention, general addresses are given to a multi-layer information storage medium to facilitate handing of information. That is, it is possible to set generalized addresses for multiple information layers, and information indicating a condition for setting the general addresses, e.g., the contents of a disk ID zone in a rewritable zone of a lead-in area, is recorded on an information reproducing layer.

Signal processing systems can be switched according to the optical system selected from a plurality of optical systems and set to the operating state. A system controlling portion 100 finally sets an appropriate optical system according to the kind of an optical disk 11, and sets an appropriate signal processing system corresponding to the set optical system for setting an appropriate mode depending upon CD (compact disk) or DVD (high density recording disk).

According to one embodiment, an optical disc is the following the distance between a light incidence plane and the first recording layer is a minimum of 550 μm. The distance between the first and the third recording layer is a maximum of 72 μm. The distance between the second and the third recording layer is a minimum of 15 μm. The distance between the first and the second recording layer is about 31 to 40 μm. The reflectivities of the first and the second recording layer with respect to the first laser beam range from 18 to 27%, and the ratio therebetween is about 1.1 or less. The reflectivity of the third recording layer is below about 6%. The areal recording density of the third recording layer is three times or more as high as that of the first recording layer and the second recording layer.
