摘要:
A storage device includes a storage medium having a plurality of data tracks. At least one data track of the plurality of data tracks includes a number of super parity sectors. The number of super parity sectors selected for the at least one data tracks is selected based on a distance between an inner diameter of the storage medium and the data track. The number of super parity sectors provides error correction code for the at least one data track.

The present invention relates to a method, apparatus and record carrier for controlling read-out and/or synchronization between an external magnetic field and written data during a reading operation from a magneto-optical recording medium comprising a storage layer and a read-out layer. An expanded domain leading to a pulse in a reading signal is generated in said read-out layer by copying a mark region from said storage layer to said read-out layer upon heating by a radiation power and with the help of the external magnetic field. The waveform of the reading signal is analyzed, and the analyzing result is used for correcting a phase deviation and/or for controlling a copy window size of the mark copying. Thereby, phase errors can be corrected for any size of the copy window. Even small changes in the copy window can be detected and corrected.

摘要:
If regeneration is not performed normally when data is regenerated from a medium, a read retry processing unit changes the intensities of the laser beam and of the regeneration magnetic field respectively to prearranged stages to perform the regeneration again. A regeneration condition change unit remembers the regeneration sector number for one read command from the higher order. When retry occurs, the regeneration condition change unit counts the number of the sectors for each stage which can be regenerated at each stage, and by providing a coefficient for each stage in advance, changes the default regeneration condition using the sum of products of the coefficients and the number of the counted regenerable sectors.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling read-out and/or synchronization between an external magnetic field and written data during a reading operation from a magneto-optical recording medium includes generating a pulse in a reading signal in a read-out layer by copying a mark region from a storage layer to the read-out layer upon heating by a radiation power and with the aid of the external magnetic field. The waveform of the reading signal is analyzed, and the analysis result is used for correcting a phase deviation and/or for controlling a copy window size of the mark copying. Phase errors may thus be corrected for any size of the copy window. Even small changes in the copy window can be detected and corrected.

A high-density magneto-optical recording medium having excellent jitter properties is provided. A pattern-dependent shift of the length of a recorded mark does not occur even when a minute mark has increased sensitivity to a recording magnetic field. A magneto-optical recording medium has at least a displacement layer, a memory layer, and an auxiliary memory layer. A mark with a length up to the diffraction-limit of the optical system is recorded and read out. The magneto-optical recording medium includes an in-plane magnetization-inducing layer principally made of cobalt on the auxiliary memory layer.

A magnetooptic recording medium has at least a recording layer for recording data and a reproducing layer for reproducing the data recorded in the recording layer onto a substrate and reproduces the data by setting a proper reproducing laser power upon reproduction. According to the magnetooptic recording medium, magnetizing directions of a buffer area, a sector address area, and a gap area which are sandwiched between data areas in which the data is recorded are uniformly magnetized in the recording direction.

In a magneto-optical recording medium, a first magnetic layer is made of a material using a Gd—Fe film or a Gd—Fe—Co film as a base so that a magnetic field normalized based on saturation magnetization of a magnetic domain wall driving field can be smaller than 1. A second magnetic layer is made of a material using a Tb—Fe film or a Dy—Fe film as a base, to which a nonmagnetic element such as Al or Cr, and Co are added. A third magnetic layer is made of a material using a Tb—Fe—Co film or a Dy—Fe—Co film as a base, and an element concentration ratio (at. % ratio) of Tb or Dy to Fe—Co is set in a range of 24.5≦Tb≦26.5 or 26.5≦Dy≦29.5. Addition amounts of Co and a nonmagnetic element to each magnetic layer are adjusted to set Curie temperatures Tc11, Tc12, and Tc13 of the first, second and third magnetic layers to Tc13>Tc11>Tc12.
摘要:
The present invention provides a disk playback device comprising a laser drive circuit 15 for feeding a drive signal to an optical head 4 and adjusting the power of a laser beam irradiated by the optical head 4, an error correcting circuit 11 for detecting an error rate of a reproduced signal, and a system controller 10 for controlling operation of the laser drive circuit for signal reproduction and signal recording based on the output of the error correction circuit 11. The system controller 10 retrieves one limit value of two limit values of a reproduction power wherein the error rate is not beyond a prescribed value, and calculates an optimum reproduction power based on the one limit value retrieved. Accordingly it is possible to move to signal reproduction in a short period of time and to reproduce signals with high accuracy by setting the optimum reproduction power.
