摘要:
A disk-shaped storage medium allowing the redundancy of an address part to be reduced and data to be recorded with a higher density, and a tracking method using the same are provided. In a disk-shaped storage medium in which a track is divided into a plurality of areas and address data are positioned in the plurality of areas, error detection codes are added to data common to adjacent tracks of the address data for identifying the data common to adjacent tracks. This enables the synchronous process to data in reproducing the address data to be carried out without using a unique synchronization pattern.

An optical disk includes at least one region along a radial direction, and a plurality of tracks provided in the at least one region. The at least one region contains address regions radially positioned on the plurality of tracks. In the address regions, data which is common between two adjacent tracks of the plurality of tracks is recorded at positions aligned along the same radial direction on the two adjacent tracks, and data which is not common between the two adjacent tracks is recorded at positions along different radial directions on the two adjacent tracks.
摘要:
A disklike storage medium on which information is recorded at higher density by reducing the redundancy of the address part and a tracking method using the medium are disclosed. The disklike storage medium where a track is divided into areas and address data is recorded in the areas is so adapted that an error detecting code for identifying the data common to adjacent tracks out of the address data is added to the common data. Thus, a data synchronization processing performed when the address data is reproduced is realized without any special synchronization pattern.

An information reproducing device for reproducing digital signals with an optical head from an optical disk includes a first equalizer for waveform-equalizing a reproduction signal, an adaptive learning device for renewing the equalization properties of the first waveform equalizer with an adaptation algorithm, a memory for storing a reproduction signal, a second waveform equalizer that reads signals from the memory and performs waveform equalization after an adaptive learning operation for the first waveform equalizer has been terminated, and a demodulator for demodulating the output of the second waveform equalizer. Thus, adaptive equalization processing can be performed with constantly superior equalization properties and without sacrificing data capacity.

An optical head includes: a light source; a photodetector for generating a prescribed signal based on light which the photodetector receives; a converging optical system for converging a light beam emitted from the light source to be incident upon a prescribed reflective member; and a reproducing optical system for guiding reflected light from the prescribed reflective member to the photodetector. The reproducing optical system is configured for converging light on a prescribed converging point, and a filter having a light transmissive region for allowing light in the vicinity of a center of the converged light to selectively pass therethrough is provided in the vicinity of the converging point. The light transmissive region of the filter is formed by light which has passed through at least a part of the reproducing optical system and has been converged.

A disk drive apparatus is provided that can reproduce data at low bit error rate even if a crosstalk is large. This apparatus comprises means for writing three or more different states of record marks in a read track and adjacent tracks thereof on a disk storage medium, means for detecting read levels of the record marks in the read track, means for calculating every possible read level regarding every possible combination of the record marks in the read track and adjacent tracks thereof according to the detected read levels, and means for performing most-liklihood decoding of written data in accordance with the possible read levels as reference levels.

An optical disk of the present invention includes a substrate and a recording layer disposed above the substrate, and reproduces an information signal by a DWDD system, using light incident from the substrate side.

A reading method for a magneto-optical recording medium is provided, irradiating laser light as a reading beam and using a magnetic head. High density and high transmission rate are possible and a correct reading can be performed according to the length of recording marks by reading the magneto-optical recording medium while impressing a magnetic field with an orientation promoting the translation of magnetic domain walls. In the magnetic super resolution type magneto-optical recording medium, which attains a signal only from one portion of the irradiation domain of the reading beam and has at least a recording layer and a reading layer on a substrate, the focused laser light is irradiated as a reading beam and the magnetic field is modulated, using the magnetic head, which is equipped with a slider and glides or floats on the recording medium. The magneto-optical recording medium is read, while impressing a magnetic field 161 that accelerates at least the transcription of the magnetization of the recording layer into the reading layer.
