摘要:
A first write encoder encodes digital data in a first high density format. A second write encoder encodes digital data in a second low density, i.e. ANSI format. A first read decoder decodes digital data from the first format. A second read decoder decodes digital data from the second format. A disk drive receives a replaceable 90 millimeter optical disk. A read/write head reads encoded data from and writes encoded data to a 90 millimeter optical disk received by the drive. In a first mode, the first encoder is connected between a source of digital data and the read/write head, and the first decoder is connected between the read/write head and utilizing apparatus. In a second mode, the second encoder is connected between the source and the read/write head, and the second decoder is connected between the read/write head and the utilizing apparatus. Control electronics switches between the first and second modes, depending upon the format in which data is recorded on the disk received by the disk drive. An 8/9 GCR encoder and a laser pulse generator are used in the first write encoder to record data on the optical media to increase the storage capacity. Improvement in timing is accomplished with write compensation and signal equalization.

In a magneto-optical recording method and, more particularly, a bit position recording method, laser beam intensity is pulse-modulated between high and low levels according to data to be recorded. The modulated laser beam is radiated on a recording medium under the presence of a bias field. High-level emission time of the laser beam is shortened at the inner portion of the medium, and is prolonged at the outer portion. Low-level intensity of the laser beam is decreased at the inner portion of the medium, and is increased at the outer portion, thereby increasing C/N ratio upon reproduction.

A magneto-optical data recording system comprises magnetic field pulse applying means for applying to a magneto-optic recording medium a magnetic field pulse of a polarity corresponding to code data to be recorded, and means for heating the recording medium in a pulsating manner at a predetermined frequency synchronous with the code data to be recorded. During recording, the magnetic field pulse applying means applies a magnetic field pulse of a polarity corresponding to code data along a track of the recording medium and the heating means continuously heats the recording medium in a pulsating manner at a predetermined frequency synchronous with the code data to thereby directly overwrite the code data. The magnetic field pulse applying means includes a magnetic coil driven by code data from a source of code data (data generator). The heating means includes an optical head which comprises a source of laser beam driven by a laser driver and an optical system which focuses the laser beam from the source of laser beam as a small light spot onto the recording medium.

An apparatus and method for recording an information signal on a record carrier by means of a radiation beam which produces optically detectable marks in parallel track portions thereon having a substantially constant track pitch (q). The write intensity of the radiation beam is adjusted to an optimum level which results in a width (p) of the optical marks which corresponds to the track pitch (q). The optimum intensity level is determined by recording different test signals in adjoining track portions at various write intensities of the radiation beam, reading-out the recorded test signals, and detecting therefrom the write intensity at which signal components of one test signal no longer occur in another recorded test signal. Recording at the optimum write intensity results in a minimum block error rate (BLER) upon read-out of the recorded information signal.

In an optical recording method and apparatus, the intensity of a laser beam to be radiated onto an optical recording medium is raised from an intensity P.sub.pre for maintaining a pre-heat state, in which the temperature of the medium surface becomes a predetermined temperature, to an intensity P.sub.W1 higher than P.sub.pre, and after P.sub.W1 is maintained for a time T.sub.W1, the intensity is reduced to an intensity P.sub.W2 lower than P.sub.W1 to form a mark on the optical recording medium. P.sub.W2 is controlled so that the medium temperature at a peak temperature position or a spot center position of the laser beam radiated onto the medium surface after an elapse of the time T.sub.W1 becomes constant even after the intensity is reduced to P.sub.W2, and at least one of P.sub.pre, T.sub.off, and P.sub.LB is controlled to establish the pre-heat condition within a time period until the intensity is raised to P.sub.W1 again so as to form the next mark.

It is an object of the present invention to reduce a data error ratio in the mark edge recording method. In this invention, a corrected value of a record pulse is set by checking the data recording characteristics of an optically recording medium. For this reason, it is possible to adjust a length of a record mark to a specified value as well as to suppress errors such as data errors when data is regenerated.

A test-writing recording control method of the present invention forms a first recording pattern consisting of a combination of a first microarea in a first state, which is one of a recording mark or a non-mark section, and a second microarea in a second state, which is the other of the recording mark or the non-mark section and is shorter than a light beam diameter, and a second recording pattern consisting of a combination of a third microarea in the first state, which is longer than the first microarea, and the second microarea, to an optical recording medium by emitting a light beam, and sets a recording condition so that a level difference between reproduced signals corresponding to the first recording pattern and the second recording pattern becomes minimum. This makes it possible to set the recording condition for averaging heat interference in different recording patterns and to accurately record information.
摘要:
An optical recording control method determines an optimum recording laser power by effecting a test recording before information to be recorded is recorded on a disk. The recording laser power is formed of a plurality of powers. A relationship among the plurality of laser powers is regulated by power level ratios between respective powers, whereby a power used when a laser light is radiated on the disk can be controlled to be constant independent of an ambient temperature and a structure of a disk. Therefore, accurate recording marks can be formed on the disk.
