Embodiment
To at length speak of embodiments of the present invention below.In the accompanying drawing that the example of these embodiments is represented, wherein, identical Reference numeral is from first to last represented identical component part.Below, by the reference accompanying drawing these embodiments are described, to explain the present invention.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a kind of method of the information storage medium with a plurality of recording layers being carried out data recording reproducing is provided, when finding out optimal recording power, make the data prerecord on the part of another recording layer that light beam passes through with light beam irradiates target record layer.
But the recorded information storage medium carried out best power control (OPC) before record data, to determine optimal recording power.In order to carry out OPC, according to booking situation power data are write on the OPC district, then data are read out, test reappears feature.In case in test process, found optimal recording power, just in each record slot according to the optimal recording power record data.
But when carrying out OPC in the recorded information storage medium with a plurality of recording layers, the recording feature that shows after finishing OPC is along with from a recording layer to another recording layer and difference for example, depends on and write down order or recording power.Because these differences can cause the OPC out of true, so the condition that must detection may cause the recording feature to change along with the state of each recording layer then, has considered that these conditions carry out OPC.
In order to find the condition that influences the recording feature, test, data are write on the information storage medium of Fig. 1.Wherein, information storage medium has by different order, the first recording layer L1 and the second recording layer L2 that the recording power level is different.
The record condition of information storage medium is: linear velocity is 3.8m/s, and optical maser wavelength is 650nm, and numerical aperture of objective (NA) is 0.6.Information storage medium uses the multiple-pulse wrting method.For the first recording layer L1, use 15.1mW recording power, 1.45T Ttop, 0.65T Tmp and-the Tdtp 3T of 0.03T; And for the second recording layer L2, use 20mW recording power, 1.65T Ttop, 0.70T Tmp and-the Tdtp 3T of 0.03T.What Ttop, Tmp, Tdtp represented respectively is the time span that goes up pulse, the time span of each pulse and the time of relative datum skew.Here, the master record condition enactment is recording power and wrting method by only writing data and can carry out the minimum jitter adjustment on required recording layer.1T represents 38.5ns.
What table 1 was represented is under these conditions data to be write on shake, I3/I14 modulation, asymmetry and the reflectivity that the last back of first and second recording layer L1, L2 is measured.Optics is provided with near the first recording layer L1 first watch.Reference numeral 10 is represented object lens.
Table 1
Figure C20058000039100111
Can find out significantly that from table 1 no matter recording status or order are how, the first recording layer L1 almost keeps identical shake, I3/I14, asymmetry and reflectivity; And showing feature, the second recording layer L2 changes in proper order according to record.That is, when from the first recording layer L1 when the second recording layer L2 writes data in proper order, second recording layer L2 generation marked change aspect shake, asymmetry and reflectivity.When writing data according to opposite order, the second recording layer L2 diminishes in the variation of these characteristic aspect.
Table 2 expression be that 120% and 150% recording power with normal power writes the recording feature that the back is measured with data.In the OPC process, test with different recording power levels, determine optimum recording powers of laser beam.Especially, because in case use the information storage medium of predetermined period can be because surface contamination and recording power that need be higher than normal power, so, must test with higher power.
Table 2
Figure C20058000039100112
Can find out significantly from table 2, even when recording power was bigger, the first recording layer L1 also showed recording feature much at one.When order writes data on the first recording layer L1 and the second recording layer L2, second recording layer L2 generation marked change aspect reflectivity, asymmetry and shake.With compare with normal power record, shake has increased, and is almost constant but reflectivity and asymmetry keep.
From top table 1 and 2 as can be seen, the first recording layer L1 less is subjected to the influence of record order or recording power, and the second recording layer L2 is subjected to the influence of record order or recording power very big.Especially, when order write data on first and second recording layer L1, L2, marked change had taken place in the second recording layer L2 on the recording feature.This variation is caused by transmissivity, and whether transmissivity can change by the record or the non-recorded part of recording layer according to writing light beam.Low transmissivity has reduced the effect of recording power.
Simultaneously, must under the condition that causes the variation of recording characteristic remarkable, test.That is,, so, just can find optimal recording power accurately if the change of recording feature is all little under any condition, and without any need for the special test that is used for determining optimal recording power.Yet,, so, just need under the condition that causes the variation of recording characteristic remarkable, test, to determine optimal recording power if the recording feature changes with record condition.
So, when sending test beams and find out optimal recording power, in general, at least a portion recording layer that test beams is passed through, write data.
With reference to Fig. 2, information storage medium D comprises the first recording layer L1 and the second recording layer L2, be used for the optical head 50 of record data be positioned at the first recording layer L1 below., with before carrying out OPC on the second recording layer L2 data are recorded on the part that the test beams of the first recording layer L1 passes through at the transmission test light beam.In this case, data can be recorded in and shine in the corresponding district of channel contained in the light beam of the first recording layer L1.
Referring to Fig. 1, channel number contained in the part of the tested light beam irradiates of the first recording layer L1 is provided by equation (1):
Figure C20058000039100121
Wherein, SL and TP represent the thickness and the channel separation of the wall 15 between first and second recording layer L1, the L2 respectively.
When n is the refractive index of information storage medium, when NA is the numerical aperture of object lens 10, utilize relational expression NA=nsin θ, equation (1) may be summarized to be:
Figure C20058000039100122
Before the test beams that will be used for OPC shines on the second recording layer L2, can write on data on the last zone of the first recording layer L1 corresponding to the defined channel number of equation (2).
As SLtan θ=41.25 (μ m), during TP=0.74 μ m, the channel number that is contained in the test beams approximately is 112.
Under the situation of DVD-ROM driver, optical head is positioned under first recording layer, and data write to second recording layer from first recording layer.In order to keep consistent with the DVD-ROM driver, but the recorded information storage medium can be designed so that data write to second recording layer from first recording layer.
When optical head is positioned at the top of the second recording layer L2, can use identical data recording reproducing method according to one embodiment of the present invention.In this case, data at first are recorded on the second recording layer L2., before carrying out OPC data are being recorded at least a portion second recording layer L2 that test beams passes through for record on the first recording layer L1.
And this method both can be used for opposite channel path (OTP) dish, also can be used for parallel channel path (PTP) dish.Although the present invention is described with reference to dual-layered information storage medium,, this method also can be used to have the multilayered medium of three or more recording layers.
Simultaneously, in order to obtain optimal recording power, be on each recording layer at least a in shake, degree of modulation, asymmetry and the reflectivity of each recording layer of stylus point.Referring to Fig. 3, comprise Lead-In Area 20, user data area 25 and leading-out zone 30 according to the information storage medium of one embodiment of the present invention.
But Lead-In Area 20 is divided into read-only zones and posting field.Control data section in the read-only zones comprises information and the copy protection information relevant with dish.Can be used for carrying out OPC with any in relevant information of dish and the copy protection information.
Be recorded in the control data section with predetermined bite at least a in shake, degree of modulation, asymmetry or the reflectivity of each recording layer.Especially, but the recorded information storage medium can comprise asymmetry information.When light beam under first recording layer during surface launching, be recorded in data on the part that the light beam of first recording layer passes through after, can be to measuring at the asymmetry of second recording layer.
When the material of information recording carrier or type change, can write down control informations such as asymmetry, degree of modulation, shake together.Control information both can be recorded in Lead-In Area 20, also can be recorded in leading-out zone 30, perhaps was recorded on Lead-In Area 20 and the leading-out zone 30.
As another kind of mode,, can be recorded on the different spaces in the control data section about the asymmetry information of each first and second recording layer referring to Fig. 4.In this case, about the asymmetry information of first recording layer with represent level number, i.e. first recording layer, information record together, and about the asymmetry information of second recording layer and the information of representing second recording layer record together.The information relevant with dish can be recorded on first and second recording layer by same way as.
With reference to Fig. 5 A, first and second recording layer L0, L1 comprise the L0-23 and the L1-23 in first and second OPC district respectively.On the regional 21b of the first recording layer L0, carry out OPC, on the regional 22a of the second recording layer L1, carry out OPC.Zone 21b is not arranged to relative with regional 22a.When light beam during through the first recording layer L0 incident, be to carry out before the OPC on the second recording layer L1, the data prerecord is on the regional 21a that is positioned under the regional 22a.
The regional 21b of OPC is carried out in the position of the regional 22b of the second recording layer L1 with respect to the first recording layer L0.Zone 22b can divide and is used in the reserved area.On the second recording layer L1, carry out the regional 21a of the light beam of OPC by the first recording layer L0.For record on regional 21a, can in the process of manufacturing dish, carry out prerecord technology, perhaps by predefined mode data are being recorded on the presumptive area of the first recording layer L0 before the user data.
Referring to Fig. 5 B, first and second recording layer L0, L1 comprise first and second OPC district L0-23 and L1-23 respectively.On zone 21 ' a of the first recording layer L0, carry out OPC, on zone 22 ' b of the second recording layer L1, carry out OPC.Zone 21 ' a is positioned at the week of an OPC district L0-23, and zone 22 ' b is positioned at the periphery of the 2nd OPC district L1-23.
When light beam during through the first recording layer L0 incident, be to carry out before the OPC on the second recording layer L1, the data prerecord is on the zone 21 ' b that is positioned under the 22 ' b of zone.
Zone 21 ' a of OPC is carried out in the position of zone 22 ' a of the second recording layer L1 with respect to the first recording layer L0.Zone 22 ' a can be the reserved area.Identical recording mechanism can be used for the periphery and the interior week of information storage medium.
Referring to Fig. 6 A, at each recording layer in the information storage medium with a plurality of recording layers, the method for carrying out OPC comprises: when injecting information storage medium in the driver, upwards carry out OPC at recording layer from nethermost recording layer; Before carrying out OPC on the last recording layer that covers, record the user data in the same recording layer that carries out OPC.In this case, behind first recording layer record, on second recording layer, carry out OPC.But, because this method allows user data to continue input in the process of carrying out OPC at second recording layer, so, need storer or buffer to come storing predetermined quantity data, up to finishing OPC.
Referring to Fig. 6 B, the another kind of method of carrying out OPC at each recording layer comprises: when injecting information storage medium in the driver, sequentially carry out OPC on each recording layer, sequentially data are recorded on each recording layer then.This method does not need storer or buffer, and therefore, its advantage is a continuously record data interruptedly not.
Referring to Fig. 2, the equipment (disk drive) that information storage medium D carries out data recording reproducing is comprised optical head 50, recording signal processor 60 and controller 70 according to embodiment of the present invention.More particularly, the collimation lens 52 that optical head 50 comprises the laser diode 51 of launching light beam, beam collimation that laser diode 51 is sent is parallel beam, change the beam splitter 54 of incident beam travel path and will focus on object lens 56 on the information storage medium D by the light beam of beam splitter 54.
Be subjected to the reflection of beam splitter 54 by information storage medium D beam reflected, incide photodetector 57 (for example four fens photodetectors) then.The light beam that is received by photodetector 57 is converted to electric signal by operating circuit 58, exports as RF or with signal through channel C h1, and h2 exports as push-pull signal through the differential wave channel C.
Before data being recorded in the information storage medium D with first and second recording layer L1, L2, controller 70 is tested on the test section of information storage medium D, determines optimal recording power.In order to realize this function, after on data being recorded in the first recording layer L1, in opc test process at the second recording layer L2, whether controller 70 detection data have been written on the part of the last tested light beam irradiates of the first recording layer L1, and control optical head 50 is recorded in data at least a portion that light beam passes through on the first recording layer L1 before testing then.
In the opc test process, controller 70 also reads control informations such as reflectivity, shake, degree of modulation or asymmetry through optical head 50, utilizes these control informations to determine optimal recording power then.Then, it is the normal power that obtains the test process that controller 70 makes the writing light beam of launching from optical head 50, like this, can use this writing light beam that data are recorded on the information storage medium D.
In order to reappear the data of such record, by object lens 56 and beam splitter 54, be incident on then on the photodetector 57 from information storage medium D beam reflected.The light beam that is input to photodetector 57 is then converted to electric signal by operating circuit 58, exports as the RF signal.
The driver of another embodiment can comprise the OPC information on the information storage medium according to the present invention.For example, OPC information can comprise such information, promptly whether is recorded in the influence to OPC that causes on the part that light beam passes through on the information storage medium about data in the OPC process.Driver with such information no longer needs the data prerecord in district that light beam on the information storage medium passes through in the OPC process.
That is to say that according to present embodiment, the driver with this OPC information does not require and data is being recorded on the adjacent recording layer of information storage medium before the OPC.For OPC, data are recorded on the information storage medium, even in driver, also can increase the data recording time, and because the record of data has reduced the OPC district with OPC information.
Like this, the driver that has OPC information by utilization provides predetermined information, needn't data be recorded on the adjacent recording layer for OPC.Therefore, by using this predetermined information, this driver can use the OPC information of embedding accurately, promptly to carry out OPC, even data do not write on the part that the light beam that is used for OPC passes through.
For example, a kind of driver has a kind of OPC information, and whether this OPC information representative data has been recorded in the influence to OPC that causes on the part that the light beam that is used for OPC passes through.If this driver is driver A, establishing the driver that does not have this information is driver B, and the district that establishes by the light beam irradiates that is used for OPC is district Y.
For data are recorded on the information storage medium, driver A read before carrying out OPC and coils relevant information.In this case, when the expression data have write on information on the district Y of the light beam process that is used for OPC and have not been recorded on the information storage medium, driver A utilizes the OPC information of its embedding to carry out OPC, do not need independent data are recorded on the district Y, therefore saved the time of spending data being recorded on the district Y.In contrast, when the expression data had write on the fate that the information of district on the Y is recorded in information storage medium, driver A carried out OPC.The recording power that carries out OPC will consider that the data that write on the district Y adjust.
For data are recorded on the information storage medium, but driver B read before carrying out OPC and coils relevant information and write on information on the posting field.In this case, when the expression data had write on the information of district on the Y and are not recorded on the information storage medium, driver B at first was recorded in data before carrying out OPC on the district Y of information storage medium.When carrying out OPC, driver B OPC light beam irradiates district Y, but then representative data has been write on the posting field (for example information section) that the information of distinguishing on the Y is recorded in Lead-In Area or leading-out zone.
For example, in order to carry out OPC on second recording layer, whether representative data has write on information on the district Y of first recording layer, and can to use byte X to write down on the information section as follows:
Byte X:00000000 (00h)--〉there is not a record
00000001 (01h)--〉record
Meanwhile, interior week or the information on the periphery that whether has write on OPC district L0-23 and L1-23 about the OPC data shown in Fig. 5 A and 5B can use the X byte records as follows:
Byte X:00000000 (00h)--〉be not recorded in internal and external circumferential
00000001 (01h)--〉be not recorded in interior week, be recorded in periphery
00010000 (10h)--〉be recorded in interior week, be not recorded in periphery
00010001 (11h)--〉be recorded in internal and external circumferential
As mentioned above, preceding 4 representatives of a byte are about the information in interior week, and back 4 representatives are about the information of periphery.As another kind of scheme, every kind of information can be with two byte records.
Specifically, information storage medium comprises first and second recording layer L0 and L1, and data are carried out record from the first recording layer L0 to the second recording layer L1.Optical head can be positioned at the below of the first recording layer L0.Driver can use about data whether write on information in the district of the test beams process that is used for OPC individually in the process of carrying out OPC, to carry out record at the second recording layer L1.Do not write this district if be used for the information of OPC, so, driver can use the OPC information of its embedding to carry out OPC, and needn't write down the OPC data separately.
Multilayer information memory medium for having three or a plurality of recording layers can use identical method.In this case, when carrying out the recording layer of OPC with the test beams irradiation, whether write on information in the district that test beams passes through at record representative data on the presumptive area of information storage medium, used this information on these a plurality of recording layers, to carry out OPC then.
Here, the opc test section can be located at user data area district in addition.Although expressing Lead-In Area 20, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 contain test section,, the position of test section can separate with Lead-In Area and leading-out zone.
Meanwhile, when representing data to write on the fate that the information of district on the Y is recorded in information storage medium, driver B carries out OPC.Carry out the recording power of OPC and will consider that having write on the data of distinguishing on the Y adjusts.
Driver control optical head 50 according to one embodiment of the present invention reads the information that whether has write about data at OPC, carries out OPC according to the special mode of this driver then.
Contain representative data according to the information storage medium of one embodiment of the present invention and whether be recorded in the district that the light beam that is used for OPC passes through, so can whether write down independent data according to the type selecting of driver for OPC.The driver that contains OPC information need not to write down independent data just can carry out OPC, therefore, has reduced writing time, has increased the utilization ratio in OPC district.
According to one embodiment of the present invention information storage medium is carried out the method for data recording reproducing, can determine best read-out power, but the recorded information storage medium with a plurality of recording layers is carried out data recording reproducing.This method need be tested, and finds the optimal recording power that is used to write down, and therefore realizes effective recording feature.The present invention make data according to the distance optical head from closely carrying out recording to the order of recording layer far away, therefore, but provide a kind of recorded information storage medium, can realize consistent with DVD-ROM.
