摘要:
In order to evaluate the quality of a signal recorded on an optical recording medium, a target signal is obtained based on a predetermined data string and a predetermined partial response characteristic, and for each clock cycle, an equalization error is calculated that is a difference between the target signal and a signal reproduced each clock cycle. Further, the product of the equalization errors calculated at different times is obtained, and based on the obtained product, the quality of a signal is evaluated.

A laser power selecting method includes the steps of recording an asymmetry measuring recording pattern in an optical disk trial-writing area while a laser power is being changed, reproducing a signal from the trial-writing area to calculate an asymmetry value from the waveform of the reproduced signal, determining the change rate of asymmetry from the relation between a laser power when the recording pattern is recorded and the calculated asymmetry value, and setting a laser power, at which the determined change rate of an asymmetry value is maximum, as a recording power used when recording on an optical disk.

In a wobble-format type optical recording medium 10 involving a guide groove 11 wherein the guide groove is allowed to meander over substantially the whole length thereof to form wobble, and wobbled intermittent sections 12 where there are no meandrous area are placed at predetermined positions in the wobble; a first wobbled intermittent section 12a for determining reference position is disposed at at least one reference position A in the optical recording medium, and furthermore, a second wobbled intermittent section 12b is disposed selectively at each predetermined position B apart from each reference position by a predetermined distance.

In a method of obtaining a reproduction signal with good quality from a data recording medium, two actual signals are generated as first and second signals I1 and I2 from detection signals obtained from the data recording medium. A coefficient k which has linear correlation with a tilt is calculated based on the first and second signals I1 and I2. A reproduction signal in which influence of the tilt is eliminated, is reproduced by using the coefficient k and the first and second signals I1 and I2.

In a magneto-optical recording medium which includes a guide groove portion having a land area, a groove area, and a boundary area between the land area and the groove area, both of the land area and the groove area may have a V-shaped cross-section. At least one of the land area and the groove area may have a protruding portion which is formed in parallel to the guide groove portion and which has a width which is less than a half of a wavelength of a read laser beam.

A magneto-optical (MO) head has a pair of Faraday rotators between a polarizing beam splitter (PBS) and an objective lens for focusing light onto a MO disk. The pair of Faraday rotators rotate the direction of polarization of the light by 90.degree. or pass the same as it is depending on the data area where data are read by the optical head. This enables the MO head for reproducing data recorded by a land-groove technique to reduce output level difference and cross-talk between a land area and a groove area, thereby improving C/N of the reproduced signal.

The present invention provides a light-reproduction medium, data stored therein being reproduced by detecting light transmitted therethrough and/or light reflected therefrom, including (a) a substrate formed on a surface thereof with at least two recording pits having different level from the surface of the substrate, each of the recording pits having a cross-section selected from at least two different shapes, the cross-section being defined as viewed in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the light-reproduction medium is moved relative to an optical head, and (b) a magnetic film formed on the surface of the substrate. The present invention provides high density without improving mastering technology. That is, the present invention provides a light-reproduction medium having memory density several times greater than a conventional CD-ROM without changing CD-ROM fabrication technique, driving method and an optical head structure, resulting in significantly increased capacity of an optical disc or an optical card.

An object is to provide a system in which components can overall operate in concert with one another by using only functions about the components, without using the theory of probability. The system includes a plurality of function blocks correlated to one another. The plurality of function blocks each include: a storing unit including an evaluation function that is associated with its own function block; a profit maximization control unit for adjusting the operation level of its own function block by information about the evaluation function of another of the plurality of function blocks that has a relation with its own function block; an activation/shutdown problem solution control unit for adjusting a suppression of the operation level by profit maximization control based on an active state/shutdown state of its own function block; and a restraint condition fulfillment control unit for adjusting the operation level of its own function block based on a restraint condition that is to be fulfilled by its own function block and all of the plurality of function blocks together.

A position verifying apparatus is provided with: a first recording device for recording the information into a first area of the first recording layer; a second recording device for recording a part of the information by laser light which has penetrated the first area and for recording another part of the information by laser light which does not penetrate the first area, into a second area of the second recording layer including at least a partial area which faces the first area; a reproducing device for reproducing the information; and a judging device for judging whether or not the relative shift is within tolerance, on the basis of a transit position at which reproduction quality transits from the reproduction quality indicated by the part of the information reproduced to the reproduction quality indicated by the another part of the information reproduced.
摘要:
In an optical disk system using a PRML identification system, a method for deriving an optimum recording wave in a short period of time is provided. Parameters of the recording wave are adjusted by using an evaluation value obtained by a signal evaluation method which is suitable for the PRML identification system as an index. In this case, as a parameter adjusting method, a plurality of adjusting methods are utilized.
