PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable recording with higher density in an RPR(radial partial response) disk. SOLUTION: Data generated by an information source 1 are recorded on a glass original disk 5 and an RPR disk 7 is prepared based on the data. The prepared RPR disk 7 is actually reproduced and at first a co-channel interference is calculated in a record compensating amount calculator 9. At this time, the data from which the influence of disk defects is removed are used. The data being used taken the influence of at least two adjacent edges and of at least two adjacent edges on the adjacent tracks into consideration. A pre- emphasis compensating amount corresponding to the calculated co-channel interference is calculated and the calculated result is stored in a ROM 10. The data of the compensating amount recorded in the ROM 10 are recorded on a compensating amount table present in a record compensating circuit 3. The record compensating circuit 3 processes the recorded data from the information source 1 corresponding to the calculated compensating amount and performs a cutting operation again.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase recording capacity by increasing the recording density of marks on a recording layer of an optical recording medium having a reference plane, which carries information recorded by CAV system, and a recording layer formed at a depth different from the reference plane.SOLUTION: Marks are recorded on the recording layer based on recording clocks which are generated by modifying the frequency of a reference signal corresponding to radius position information recorded on the reference plane. Compared to a case where recording is simply made by CAV on the recording layer according to the rotation of an optical recording medium driven at a constant speed, the recording density of marks on the recording layer is increased by carrying out the mark recording based on the recording clocks in which the frequency is modified in accordance with the radius position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical drive device and a signal generation method which can accurately detect amplitude values at pit and mark parts, with respect to an optical recording medium on which pits or marks are position recorded, even when sampling timing indicated by a clock relatively varies due to the influence of jitters of reproduction signals and the like.SOLUTION: Reproduction signals are sampled at leading edge timing and trailing edge timing of a pit or a mark, and the sampling values are averaged. Averaging the sampling values sampled at both of the leading and trailing edge timing prevents detected amplitude values (namely, the values obtained by the averaging) from varying even when the sampling timing indicated by a clock varies with the reproduction signals. That is, the same amplitude value can be properly detected for a part where the same amplitude value is to be detected normally.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an error (residual error) on a focus servo system side of the recording/reproducing laser beam from being applied to a focus servo system of a servo laser beam as disturbance, by focus servo control during reproduction. SOLUTION: A first focus error signal obtained by receiving a first light beam is subtracted from a second focus error signal obtained by receiving reflected light of the second light. Based on the second focus error signal obtained by subtracting the first focus error signal, second focus servo control is performed by driving the second focus mechanism. Residual error components in a first focus servo control system is prevented from being superimposed on a second focus servo control system. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably perform a repetitive servo control with a simple configuration without needing an encoder synchronized with rotation of a disk and a PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuit. SOLUTION: A disk drive includes a main control part 2 controlling an object to be controlled and a repetitive control part 3 sampling error signals and obtaining a repetitive signal component. The main control part 2 controls the object to be controlled based on the error signals calculated from target signals of the object to be controlled necessary for recording or playback of a disk medium and observed signals of the object to be controlled. The repetitive control part 3 samples the error signals by using a sampling clock and obtains a repetitive signal component synchronized with the rotation of the disk medium from the sampled error signals. A sampling clock generating part 4 resets a timing of generation of the sampling clock by a rotation detection pulse and limits generation of the sampling clock at a timing directly before generation of the rotation detection pulse.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control accurately gap between a converging optical system and an information recording medium with comparatively simple device constitution when recording and reproduction are performed by irradiating an information recording medium with proximity field light. SOLUTION: The device has a light source 1, a converging optical system 10 in which the information recording medium is irradiated with light from the light source 1 as proximity field light, a photo-detecting part 9 detecting whole reflected return light quantity from an information recording medium 20, a control part 15 generating a control signal based on the detected signal obtained from the photo-detecting part 9, and a driving part 11 driving the converging optical system 10 to the prescribed position on the information recording medium 20. Then, in the control part 15, a gap servo signal GES is generated by performing feedforward of a push-pull signal Rpp in the direction crossing a relative running direction for the information recording medium 20 for a gap error signal obtained from the photo-detecting part 9.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a servo device capable of enhancing tracking or focusing (gap) accuracy after sufficiently assuring stability without raising a servo band. SOLUTION: Eccentricity servo is performed by an eccentricity signal to perform rough tracking servo in a step S1. Next, tracking servo is performed (step S2). A head is made to follow up a recording pit train by the tracking servo. Thence, a tracking residue error Δe is compared with a preset threshold α (for example, 60 nmpp in a CD) in a step S3. If Δe α in the step S3, the specifications are not satisfied and therefore, the rotation synchronous component (repeating signal component) of the tracking error signal is learned and the repeating servo is performed in the step S4.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tracking servo device capable of enhancing tracking accuracy after sufficiently assuring stability without raising a servo band. SOLUTION: An eccentricity signal generation section 4 generates the eccentricity signal ES based on the tracking error signal obtained in the state of not applying tracking servo from a tracking actuator 12 which performs tracking for the information tracks of a disk-shaped optical recording medium. An eccentricity servo section 14 performs the eccentricity servo based on the eccentricity signal ES generated by the eccentricity signal generation section 4. A tracking servo section 15 performs the tracking servo in the amount remaining after servo taking by the eccentricity servo section 14. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
