    Abstract: The invention relates to a "jump gap" servo mode provided to position an optical tape medium relative to a pickup head so that tracking may be reestablished after gaps in the servo tracks which occur in the pre- and post-amble fields. These gaps arise periodically because of a seam in the drum used to emboss the servo track on the tape medium. Also disclosed herein are other aspects of optical tape technology, tape manufacturing, and tape usage including: configurations, formulations, markings, and structure of the optical tape; manufacturing methods, systems, and apparatus including curing processes, coating methods, embossing, drums, testing, tracking alignment stamper strip; pick up head adapted for the disclosed optical tape; and optical tape uses including optical storage media devices for multimedia applications.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are aspects of optical tape technology. A segment (1210) on media (1110) includes tracks (1220) with length (1230). Segments (1210) may be separated by gaps/defects (1310). Within segment (1210), tracks (1220) each exhibit fields of modulated wobble indicative of a physical track address. Tracks (1220) may not line up across gaps (1310). While focused on a particular track and prior to encountering the first gap, servo system (1150) may record the specified physical address of the particular track. Once gap (1310) has passed the optical sensing element (1120), servo system (1150) may command sensing element (1120) to refocus and determine/record the physical track address of the post-gap track it is focused on. Servo system (1150) may then assign a single logical address to the recorded physical addresses.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for data storage on an optical medium having a plurality of tracks include splitting a light beam into a higher power main beam and at least one lower power side beam that form corresponding spots spaced along a selected one of the plurality of tracks and selectively positioning and aligning the beams/spots along the selected one of the plurality of tracks using the higher power main beam to write data while reading previously written data using the at least one lower power side beam. The systems and methods may include correlating the read signal with a time-shifted write signal to provide a direct read after write capability to verify data written to the optical medium. In one embodiment, an optical tape drive includes an optical pickup unit (OPU) that generates a lower power satellite beam to read data directly after writing by a higher power main beam.

    Abstract: In an optical tape drive system, a movable planarizer subsystem (16) includes a tape planarizer support structure (28) for supporting an optical tape planarizer (10). The support structure (28) is moveable between an operational position and a non - operational position. The movable planarizer subsystem (16) also includes an actuator (36) for moving the support structure (28) and the optical tape planarizer (10) between the operational position and the non - operational position. The operational position of the support structure (28) positions the optical tape planarizer (10) to permit reading/writing of information from/to an optical tape (18) via an optical pickup unit (OPU), and the non - operational position of the support structure (28) positions the optical tape planarizer (10) to permit passage of a tape leader (34) though the tape drive system without damage to the OPU.

    Abstract: A suspension system is provided for an objective lens housing. The objective lens housing is supported by the suspension system and is moved in either a tracking direction Y or focusing direction Z by an electro-magnetic actuator. The objective lens housing is supported by upper and lower suspension springs. The suspension springs are moveable in the tracking direction by flexing the suspension springs and are moveable in a focusing direction by compressing a front portion and a back portion to fold the suspension spring at bends formed in an intermediate portion of the suspension springs.
