摘要:
A recording pulse circuit first divides a recording pulse into multiple pulses in accordance with a recording reference clock signal to generate a short-pulse group. The recording pulse circuit then connects a preset number of pulses of the short-pulse group beginning with a top one of the pulses of the short-pulse group to form a top long pulse. Finally, the recording pulse circuit shifts the positions of the front edge and the rear edge of the top long pulse by a designated time, and outputs the shifted top long pulse and the following pulses of the short-pulse group as recording pulses to a semiconductor laser drive circuit.

In an optical recording method and apparatus, the intensity of a laser beam to be radiated onto a magnetooptical recording medium is raised from an intensity P.sub.pre for maintaining a pre-heat state, in which the temperature on the medium surface has a predetermined temperature .THETA..sub.pre, to an intensity P.sub.W1 higher than P.sub.pre so as to form a mark on the medium, the intensity is reduced to an intensity P.sub.LB lower than P.sub.pre, and after an elapse of a time T.sub.off, the intensity is raised to P.sub.pre. At least one of P.sub.pre, T.sub.off, and P.sub.LB is controlled to achieve the pre-heat state within a time period until the intensity is raised to P.sub.W1 again to form the next mark.

摘要:
In a method of recording optical information, one of correcting ways for correcting the pulse waveform of the input signal to be recorded is selected depending on change in relative velocity between the optical information recording medium and the laser beam spot; and thereafter the laser beam output power is modulated in a range between an erasing level and a recording level in accordance with the corrected pulse waveform of the modulated input signal. Then a digital input signal corrected by modulation in pulse width is overwritten onto an optical information recording medium with a single laser beam spot by forming recording marks corresponding to the input pulse signal.

In a data recording operation, various patterns each having n edge widths (n is an integer), which are considered to appear in the operation, are predicted such that a record pattern sequence including the various patterns is recorded before an actual data recording operation. Using a read-out signal thereof, a shift quantity of each edge of the read-out signal with respect to an inherent edge record position is attained, thereby generating a table containing relationships between the respective patterns and the edge shift quantities. During an actual data recording operation, a record signal of the data is collated in a unit of the n edge widths with the patterns stored in the table so as to correct the edge width.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording apparatus which records information through the processes of: first irradiating a light beam onto a magneto-optical recording medium having a recording film; and next applying an external magnetic field that is inverted in response to a recording signal onto the recording film while continuing the first process. In the above arrangement, the intensity of the light beam is dropped upon inversion of the external magnetic field so that information is not recorded. The intensity of the light beam is raised during non-inversion of the external magnetic field so that information is recorded. Further the magneto-optical recording apparatus is provided with a light intensity control device for varying the intensity of the light beam dependent of the lengths of recording bits so that the high-temperature area of the recording film is not widened. Since the width of the recording bits is uniformly maintained, the remaining of the recording bit after overwriting operation can be reduced; thus, the signal quality in reproduction can be enhanced.

After a laser beam of a high-level laser beam is applied to a multilayer magneto-optical recording medium to record information thereon, a laser beam of a laser power lower than the laser power of a reading laser beam is applied or substantially no laser beam is applied for a period of time .tau..sub.0. If one channel clock period or the period in which the high-level laser beam is of the second laser power is applied is .tau..sub.w, then the ratio R=(.tau..sub.0 /.tau..sub.w).times.100 is selected to be in the range from 15 to 70%.
摘要:
Before a signal is recorded on an optical disk, irradiations are made with plural light irradiation conditions of variable irradiation power or pulse width, optical conditions of irradiated portions are detected by detecting changes in the reflectivity or transmissivity or errors, and the optimum irradiation conditions are determined by comparing the detected results and the light irradiation conditions. In particular, by determining the optimum irradiation conditions in reference to the point where the change in reflectivity or transmissivity is greatest with respect to changes in the irradiation power, the optimum light irradiation conditions can be determined in a short time.

A read out apparatus reads out prerecorded information from a magneto-optic disk by detecting intervals of edges of magnetic domains formed on the magneto-optic disk with different directions of magnetization, where the intervals of the edges of the magnetic domains correspond to data "1"s or "0""1"s of the prerecorded information. The read out apparatus includes a first part for producing a read out signal by scanning the magnetic domains of the magneto-optic disk, a second part for producing an edge detection signal which has rising and falling edges depending on leading and trailing edges of the magnetic domains, and for corecting edge positions of the edge detection signal based on predetermined information, a third part including a phase locked loop circuit for producing a clock signal which is synchronized to the rising and falling edges of the edge detection signal, and a fourth part for separating the data from the edge detection signal output from the second part using the clock signal output from the third part.

In an optical disk apparatus for recording information in pits formed on an optical disk by projecting a light beam onto the optical disk and heating an area of the optical disk corresponding to the pulse pattern of the information, the pulse pattern of the information to be recorded is discriminated, and on the basis of the discriminated pulse pattern, the timing to start on and end the emission of the light beam from the light source to the optical disk is modified, or the number of emissions and the duration of each emission is controlled so that the pattern of the pits are corrected to the shapes that ensure accurate regeneration of the information.
摘要:
Modulating the intensity of directed energy for thermal writing of memory cells overwrites bits of either state in a storage layer of magnetic material irrespective of the preexisting condition of the cell without employing a magnetic field whose origin is external to the storage layer. Directed energy is synchronized with the medium by superimposing, preferably nonmagnetically, self-timing information on the medium itself and synchronously recovering the self-timing information to assist in directing energy to the medium. The medium itself has a magnetic layer plus recoverable timing information fixed in the medium along a predetermined path preferably embodied in a fixed periodic uniform variation in the nonmagnetic reflection properties along the track.
