摘要:
A method for controlling intensities of a plurality of laser beams respectively emitted on a track of an optical disk by a plurality of laser diodes according to the present invention includes a step of performing focusing servo control for focusing one of the plurality of laser beams emitted by one of the plurality of laser diodes onto the track, and concurrently controlling an intensity of the laser beam emitted by each of plurality of laser diodes to be within a predetermined range by comparing a signal which is in accordance with an intensity of the laser beam emitted by that laser beam with a reference signal. A period during which the one of the plurality of laser diodes used for the focusing does not emit the one laser beam is shorter than a response time of the focus servo control.

According to the present invention, an optical disk recording method for recording data on an optical disk including a land and a groove by forming a mark representing the data on the optical disk by irradiating a light beam onto the optical disk is provided. In this method, conditions for irradiating the light beam are varied depending upon whether a position at which the mark representing the data is formed on the land or on the groove so that a size of the mark formed on the land is equal to a size of the mark formed on the groove.

Address groups are composed of two of address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19, where the address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19 are disposed in a sector address region 5 and include identifiable information of address numbers 13 and overlapping sequential numbers 14. The address groups are disposed so that each group is alternately shifted from a track center 2 toward the inner periphery side or the outer periphery side, by a width substantially equal to half the track pitch, along the radius direction.

摘要:
When information is reproduced from an optical disk, a comparator compares a reproduced signal with a slice signal to generate binarized signals, while the slice signal is corrected continuously for external disturbances in a reproduced signal. A switch changes the time constant of the frequency response of the slice signal according to the reproduced signal. For example, the frequency response of the slice signal is set faster in a first region in a prepit area of the disk and in a record area of the disk so that the slice level converges quickly, while the frequency response is changed thereafter to a low time constant for normal signals. Thus, inaccuracy in binarization of the reproduced image signal is minimized, and the sector format is performed efficiently.

When data is reproduced by an apparatus which is different from an apparatus used for recording the data, the fluctuation of edge positions of the reproducing data increases, making reproduction incompatible, and the present invention solves this problem. The present invention comprises reproducing learning means 13 and 24 for switching a frequency characteristic of the reproducing system, which detects the changes of the local optical constant, to a predetermined frequency characteristic, and recording learning means 20 for correcting the start edge or end edge position of the recording pulse for each combination of length of a mark block and length of the preceding or subsequent space, so that the edge position of the binarized reproducing data comes to a desired position, and since the frequency characteristic of the reproducing system is unified before learning the edge shift amount caused by the thermal interference between marks, the length of the recorded marks and spaces can always be constant, which improves the reproducing compatibility among reproducing apparatuses.

An analog-to-digital converter executes analog-to-digital conversion of a first analog video signal at a predetermined sampling frequency "fs". A time base converter converts a time base of an output signal from the analog-to-digital converter at a predetermined time base conversion frequency "ftci". A digital output signal from the time base converter is converted into a corresponding second analog video signal in response to a clock signal of a frequency corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The second analog video signal is converted into an FM video signal recorded on a video region of an optical disk. A binary audio digital signal is converted into a multi-level form digital audio signal. The binary audio digital signal has a data rate corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The multi-level form digital audio signal has a data rate "ftci/n" and 2.sup.n discrete amplitude levels where "n" denotes a predetermined integer. The multi-level form digital audio signal is converted into a corresponding analog audio signal in response to the clock signal of the frequency corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The analog audio signal is converted into an FM audio signal recorded on an audio region of the optical disk. A data signal generator generates a digital data signal at a data rate "ftci/m" where "m" denotes a predetermined integer. The digital data signal is converted into a corresponding analog data signal in response to the clock signal of the frequency corresponding to the frequency "ftci". The analog data signal is converted into an FM data signal recorded on a data region of the optical disk.
