Embodiment
With reference to described accompanying drawing, one embodiment of the present of invention are described following.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of overall light disk drive according to an embodiment of the invention.Spindle Motor (SPM) 12 drives the CD 10 that makes it possible to record data with rotation mode, as DVD, CD of future generation (blu-ray) etc.Spindle Motor SPM 12 is driven by driver 14, and driver 14 is by servo processor 30 servocontrol, so that realize needed rotating speed.
Optical pickup apparatus 16 comprises that with laser diode of laser beam irradiation CD 10 (LD) and photoelectric detector (PD) photoelectric detector receives the light that is reflected by CD 10 and converts such light that receives to electric signal.Optical pickup apparatus 16 and CD 10 are relative and be provided with.Optical pickup apparatus 16 is sought rail motor 18 and is driven by driver 20 by seeking the excitation in the radial direction of rail motor (sled motor) 18 at CD 10.As driver 14, driver 20 is by servo processor 30 servocontrol.And driver 22 drives the LD of optical pickup apparatus 16, and driver 22 is according to the amount of controlling the light that LD launches from the instruction of system controller 32.Although in the accompanying drawings, driver 22 separates with optical pickup apparatus 16 to be provided, and will be described to as the back, and driver 22 also can be incorporated optical pickup apparatus 16 into.
During recorded data, the laser beam of reproducing power is from the LD emission of optical pickup apparatus 16 on reproducing CD 10; The light that is reflected by CD 10 converts electric signal to by PD; And electrical signal converted is provided to RF circuit 26 like this.RF circuit 26 produces focus error signal and tracking error signal according to reproducing signal, and supplies with the signal that produces like this to servo processor 30.According to these error signals, servo processor 30 servocontrol optical pickup apparatus 16, thus make optical pickup apparatus 16 remain on state and track alignment in focus.RF circuit 26 is supplied with the address signal that is contained in the reproducing signal to address decoding circuitry 28.Address decoding circuitry 28 demodulates the address date relevant with CD 10 from address signal, and supplies with the address date of such demodulation to servo processor 30 and system controller 32.
An example of described address signal is swinging signal (wobble signal).The modulation signal of the temporal information by expression CD 10 specific address makes the track swing of CD 10.Resulting swinging signal extracts from reproducing signal, and the swinging signal that extracts like this is decoded, so that can obtain address date (ATIP).The RF signal that RF circuit 26 will reproduce like this supplies to binarization circuit (binarization circuit) 34.Binarization circuit 34 is with the RF signal binaryzation of reproducing, and the signal that will as a result of obtain is presented to encoder/decoder circuitry 36.The signal of the described binaryzation of encoder/decoder circuitry 36 demodulation; The error of correction in the signal of demodulation is so that obtain the reproduction data thus; And will reproduce data by interface I/F 40 and output to main frame such as personal computer.When reproducing data and output to main frame, encoder/decoder circuitry 36 will reproduce data temporarily be stored in memory buffer 38 after with its output.
When data were recorded on the CD 10, the data to be recorded that send from main frame supplied to encoder/decoder circuitry 36 by interface I/F40.Encoder/decoder circuitry 36 with data storage to be recorded in memory buffer 38; With digital coding to be recorded; And such coded data is fed to writes strategy circuit 42.Write strategy circuit 42 and modulated data-switching is become multipulse signal (train of impulses) according to the booking situation strategy; And multipulse signal supplied to driver 22 as record data.Because Write strategy influences recording quality, Write strategy is fixed in certain optimal strategy usually.By the LD emission from optical pickup apparatus 16 of the laser beam of record data modulation, data are recorded on the CD 10 power thus.After the record data, the laser beam of optical pickup apparatus 16 emission reproducing power is so that the data of reproducing recorded thus; And to RF circuit 26 supply reproduction data.RF circuit 26 is supplied with reproducing signal to binarization circuit 34, and the data of binaryzation are supplied to encoder/decoder circuitry 36.36 pairs of modulated data of encoder/decoder circuitry are decoded, and contrast the such data of decoding of record data verification that memory buffer 38 is stored.The result of verification supplies to system controller 32.According to the result of verification, system controller 32 determines whether to continue record data or carries out blocked operation.
The operation of system controller 32 control total systems; Particularly, carry out OPC and ROPC.By means of OPC, by progressively changing the test zone that recording power tentatively writes on test data CD 10; Reproduce the test data that tentatively writes; And the β value of measurement reproduction data, γ value, degree of modulation, error rate etc.Selection makes the quality of reproducing signal such as error rate etc. reach the recording power of expectation value and gets it and is optimum recording power Po.System controller 32 Control Driver 22 are so that realize selected recording power Po.System controller 32 is also carried out ROPC.By means of ROPC, the value of the horizontal B that is realized when forming the hole by the recording laser bundle is sampled as mentioned above, and according to the value Control Driver 22 of the horizontal B that obtains like this, thereby increase or reduce recording power.
By the example of blu-ray, below describe the ROPC that treats by system controller 32 is carried out and handle as CD 10.
Fig. 8 illustrates the data structure of blu-ray.Data are managed on the basis of every recording unit block (RUB).Single RUB comprises that the operation of 2760 channel bit (cbs) goes into district (Runin district); The physical cluster of 496 * 1932 channel bit (Physical Cluster); Go out district (Runout district) with the operation of 1104 channel bit.Physical cluster is a user data area.Moving district, physical cluster and moving out in the district, the top is moved into the district and is provided with the APC zone.This APC zone is corresponding to five swings (that is, 5 * 69 channel bit), and APC carries out by using this zone.Here, term " APC " expression: the drive current of regulating the feasible light emission measure that can obtain to want by the relation between calculating electric current (i) and the light emission measure (L), because the light emission characteristics of laser diode (LD) demonstrates temperature dependency, even and the light emission measure under identical drive current, also can change.Carry out following processing by utilizing the APC zone: detect the light emission measure by means of changing drive current in every way; Calculate the relation between electric current and the light emission measure; And calculate to make realize the drive current of the light emission measure wanted.For example, drive LD, detect the light emission measure of being realized this moment by near the light receiving element (preceding monitor) that is positioned at the LD at 5mW and 15mW; Learn or proofread and correct the i-L characteristic of LD.Although guaranteed the APC zone corresponding to five swings as mentioned above, yet actual learn or proofread and correct the i-L characteristic need be corresponding to the APC area size of five swings, and the remainder in APC zone still keeps not using.
In the present embodiment, untapped part is noted, and by utilizing the untapped remainder in the APC zone to carry out ROPC.For example, among five hunting periods in APC zone, be used for APC two hunting periods; Be used for ROPC remaining three hunting period, or the like.In the blu-ray dish, the data of 2T to the data length (reaching the data length of 9T when comprising synchronizing signal) of 8T only appear having.Yet, because arbitrarily test data can tentatively write on the APC zone, have test data, as have the test data etc. of the data length of 50T greater than the data length of 9T, when carrying out, ROPC tentatively write, thus detection level B.
Fig. 2 illustrates the configuration of major part, and this part is carried out APC and ROPC in the APC zone of recording unit block RUB.Except comprising LD, quadruple photo-detector PD, object lens, object lens driving circuit (driving circuit is used for producing drive actions in focus direction and at tracking direction) etc., optical pickup apparatus 16 also has the driver (LDD) 22 that is used to drive LD and is positioned near preceding monitor (FMT) 16b that LD is, detect the emission light quantity of LD.Preceding monitor 16b converts the emission light quantity of LD electric signal to and this electric signal is outputed to system controller 32.
Quadruple photo-detector detects the amount (amount of back light) of the light that is reflected from the intrafascicular CD 10 of LD emitted laser, and supplies with the catoptrical amount that is detected to low-pass filter LPF 44.
Low-pass filter 44 is eliminated the high fdrequency component that is contained in the reflected light signal as noise; And the reflected light signal that will remove noise supplies to sampling hold circuit S/H 46.For example, described high fdrequency component comprises: the modulation product of the Write strategy that is attributable to during record data to be taked.In the present embodiment, the test data experience sampling with long data length of 50T etc. keeps, and therefore the cutoff frequency fc of low-pass filter 44 does not need to be set to high level.Sampling hold circuit S/H 46 makes that sampling keeps from the signal of low-pass filter 44 experience, so that the horizontal B of detection of reflected light quantity thus; And the horizontal B that will detect like this supplies to system controller 32.The sampling of sampling hold circuit S/H 46 keeps sequential to be provided by encoder/decoder circuitry 36.Encoder/decoder circuitry 36 receives the timing control signal Tapc in the APC zone of indicating recording unit block RUB as input from formatter or timing sequencer; And determine the initial timing in APC zone according to this signal.Encoder/decoder circuitry 36 is supplied with clock signal to system controller 32, and by this clock signal, APC carried out in two hunting periods; And supply with the stop timing signals of two hunting periods, the i.e. initial timing signal of ROPC to system controller 32 and sampling hold circuit S/H 46.According to from the initial timing signal of the ROPC of scrambler 36, sampling hold circuit S/H 46 keeps the sampling of catoptrical amount experience, so that detection level B thus.As mentioned above, horizontal B has formed and value that catoptrical amount has become and realized when stablizing in the hole; And be defined as since the initial timing of ROPC, the value through being realized after the predetermined amount of time.
According to the clock signal from formatter or timing sequencer output, encoder/decoder circuitry 36 is supplied with recording pulse signal to driver 22, so that carry out APC and ROPC in the APC zone.In addition, supply with the recording pulse signal that driver 22 is followed the booking situation strategy, so as in physical cluster user data.Employed example record strategy when Fig. 3 is illustrated in user data.Described Write strategy comprises top pulse Ttop, follow-up multiple-pulse Tmp and final pulse Tlp.Described Write strategy changes in every way according to following: the pulsewidth of the pulsewidth of top pulse Ttop and impulse level (Pw), multipulse number and impulse level (Pb), final pulse Tlp and impulse level (Pw), and the pulsewidth (Ts) and the impulse level (Pc) of the pulse that is in the end realized after the pulse Tlp.Although top pulse Ttop, multiple-pulse Tmp and final pulse Tlp are superimposed upon on the bias level Ps, bias level Ps is set to reproduce level or wipes level.When the length of data to be recorded is 2T, only have top pulse Ttop, and multiple-pulse Tmp and final pulse Tlp are non-existent.When the length of data to be recorded is 3T, have top pulse Ttop and final pulse Tlp, and multiple-pulse Tmp is non-existent.When the length of data to be recorded was nT (" n " be four or greater than four), top pulse Ttop, multiple-pulse Tmp and final pulse Tlp existed, and Write strategy is defined as
Ttop+(n-3)×Tmp+Tlp
When carrying out OPC, Write strategy can be fixed maybe and can optimize.
In the time should writing down real data, follow above Write strategy and operate.Yet when carrying out APC, basic demand is to drive driver 22 by the individual pulse signal.And, when carrying out ROPC, can use strategy arbitrarily, because test data tentatively writes.In the present embodiment, encoder/decoder circuitry 36 treats that by employing the Write strategy that uses tentatively writes test data during the record real data, so that carry out ROPC thus.Like this, there is not fault ground to guarantee the validity of ROPC.Particularly, in order to write down test data, tentatively write test data by the Write strategy that is defined as Ttop+47 * Tmp+Tlp in accordance with above expression formula with 50T length.
In response to the clock signal from encoder/decoder circuitry 36, system controller 32 Control Driver 22 are so that carry out APC and ROPC in the APC zone.In ROPC, carry out following processing.Particularly, at first carry out OPC,, and tentatively write test data with 50T length with set optimum recording power Po so that optimum recording power Po is set thus at the blu-ray test zone.This moment, the horizontal B (note is made Bo) of the reflection light quantity that obtained was detected and be stored in the storer.Recording power Po that obtains like this and the value Bo of horizontal B form combination under desirable record condition.During the record real data, the value of horizontal B is sampled, and regulate recording power P so that make Bo/Po n=B/P nBecome constant.Recording power P also can regulate by Po, Bo and the B that obtains like this by another kind of method.For example, B/P nCalculate according to current recording power P and the horizontal B that is obtained, and the B/P that will calculate like this nWith Bo/Po nRelatively.According to comparative result, current recording power P also can (for example, ± 0.2mW) increase or reduce given amount.
Fig. 4 illustrates APC and ROPC pending sequential in the APC zone.APC zone 100 is present in the top of recording unit block RUB, and APC zone 100 is divided into two zones; That is, be used for the zone (after this being called " APC operating area ") of APC operation and be used for the zone (after this being called " ROPC operating area ") that ROPC operates.At the APC operating area, as described, LD drives by two power source P1 and P2.The amount of the light that launched this moment detects by preceding monitor 16b, so that obtain the i-L characteristic thus.Make the drive current of realizing expectation light emission measure according to the i-L property calculation of obtaining like this, and LD drive by the drive current that calculates like this.The i-L characteristic of LD fluctuates under Temperature Influence.Therefore, be necessary on the basis of every RUB, to carry out APC, so that always proofread and correct thus or calibration i-L characteristic.As mentioned above, the test data with length of 50T is recorded in the ROPC operating area, and the sampling of catoptrical amount experience keeps in that test data is tentative during writing, so that detection level B thus.Have the result of test data of the length of 50T as employing, the low-pass filter 44 of reflected light signal by having enough low frequency band thus, can be removed noise fully from multipulse signal.For example, under the situation of the channel bit rate of 66MHz, 50T is corresponding to 0.76 μ s, and thus, the cutoff frequency fc of low-pass filter 44 can be reduced to the value of 1.32MHz.Accompanying drawing illustrates catoptrical waveform (waveform of back light), passed through the waveform of the light of low-pass filter 44, and the sampling of sampling hold circuit S/H 46 keeps timing waveform.Although the modulation product of Write strategy is superimposed upon on the catoptrical waveform, should understands modulation product and remove by low-pass filter 44.
As mentioned above, ROPC carries out in the APC zone that occurs with preset frequency, and data are record when recording power increases or reduces.As described, ROPC the term of execution, horizontal B also can detect by tentatively writing the test data that only once has the length of 50T.Yet, when APC zone 100 corresponding to five hunting periods, and when distributing to ROPC three hunting periods, can guarantee 3 * 69=207 channel bit.Therefore the test data that has the length of 50T can tentatively be write four times rather than only once.Thereby, as in the following cases, promptly when carrying out OPC, progressively changing under the situation of recording power in the presumptive test zone, the test data with length of 50T also can tentatively write when changing recording power with multistep, so that carry out ROPC thus.
Fig. 5 A illustrates the sequential chart that obtains when tentatively writing the test data of the length with 50T by the sequence change recording power with P4, P5, P6 and P7 to 5C.Fig. 5 A illustrates the waveform of recording pulse signal, and the Write strategy that wherein is used for tentatively writing the test data of 50T repeats four times.The waveform of the light (back light) that Fig. 5 B illustrates at that time to be reflected, wherein the waveform of the signal by low-pass filter 44 is represented with solid line in the drawings.The sampling that Fig. 5 C illustrates sampling hold circuit S/H 46 keeps sequential.Respectively comprise recording power and horizontal B value altogether four groups obtain by following: carry out the processing that is used for tentatively writing the test data of 50T altogether for four times and the sampling of reflected light experience is kept.These group notes are made (P4, B4), (P5, B5), (P6, B6) and (P7, B7).Carry out ROPC in order to utilize these to make up, reflectance R=B/P is calculated.Particularly, R4=B4/P4, R5=B5/P5, R6=B6/P6 and R7=B7/P7 determine by calculating.And the relational expression between reflectance R and the recording power is calculated.Fig. 6 illustrates the relation between recording power P and the reflectance R.System controller 32 according to the relation between recording power P and the reflectance R calculate f (Px, Rx).Ideally-reflecting than Ro according to OPC the term of execution ideal relationship that obtained (Po Bo) calculates.This ideally-reflecting than Ro by substitution relational expression f (Px, Rx) so that can obtain for the desirable recording power in the position of pending ROPC.ROPC handles and is summarized as follows.
(1) carries out OPC at the test zone of blu-ray dish, and tentatively write the test data of 50T, so that detection level B thus with optimum recording power Po.Determine that (Po, Bo), it is the combination of the value Bo of desirable recording power Po and horizontal B in combination.
(2) according to (Po Bo) determines that ideally-reflecting compares Ro=Bo/Po.
(3) when after APC is carried out in APC zone, when changing recording power, repeat the test data that test of many times ground writes 50T, and detect the horizontal B that is realized each time with multistep, thus the combination of definite recording power P and horizontal B.
(4) determine reflectance R according to the combination of recording power and horizontal B.
(5) calculate relational expression f between recording power and the reflectance (Px, Rx).
(6) calculate recording power according to ideally-reflecting than Ro and relational expression " f ", thereby increase or reduce current record power.
In the present embodiment, because ROPC repeats in the APC zone, recording power can always be adjusted to optimal value.In addition, have the test data that reaches 50T length by utilization and carry out ROPC, therefore also can increase writing speed.
In the present embodiment, in five hunting periods, be used for the APC operation two hunting periods, be used for the ROPC operation remaining three hunting period.Yet, can be provided with arbitrarily; For example, distribute to the APC operation three hunting periods, distribute to the ROPC operation all the other two hunting periods, or the like.Also can adaptively change with the ratio of the hunting period that is used for the ROPC operation hunting period that is used for APC operation, with adapt to each CD or or even monochromatic light dish situation under adapt to each radial location.For example,, distribute to the APC operation three hunting periods, distribute to the ROPC operation two hunting periods at interior rail.And, distribute to the APC operation two hunting periods at outer rail, distribute to the ROPC operation three hunting periods.Because at interior rail the chance that applies in good condition by the set optimum recording power Po of OPC is arranged, can distribute to APC and not relate to the ROPC operation five hunting periods at interior rail.The necessity of ROPC is usually along with to the increase of the distance of outer rail and increase.Therefore, consider the execution precision that strengthens ROPC, the ratio that increases the hunting period that is used for the ROPC operation is preferred.
Fig. 7 illustrates the example of the ratio in ROPC operating area and APC zone; I.e. three kinds of situations.The fixed ratio to 60% of ratio " a " expression ROPC operating area (that is three hunting periods in five hunting periods) and with the irrelevant situation of radius.Ratio " b " expression, until a certain radial location r2, the ratio of ROPC operating area is 40% situation.Than the long radius position, ratio is increased to 60%.The situation that ratio " c " expression is such: until a certain radial location r1, the ratio of ROPC operating area is 0%, promptly only carries out APC and does not relate to ROPC; The ratio of ROPC operating area increases along with radial location in the scope of r2 at r1 subsequently; And in radial location r2 or bigger position, the ratio value of ROPC operation is 100%; Promptly only carry out ROPC.The situation that ratio " c " expression is such: by utilizing the APC zone to carry out APC and ROPC, rather than always carry out APC and ROPC at the All Ranges of CD 10 at least some zones.
In the present embodiment, ROPC the term of execution, by utilizing B/P or B/P 2Increase or reduce recording power.Yet, B/P n(" n " is the real number more than 1 or 1) also can more generally use, so that increase or reduce recording power thus.
Figure 15 illustrates the data structure of blu-ray dish once more.The protection zone is provided with predetermined repetition bits mode region (predetermined iterative bit pattern area) and APC zone.The protection zone is corresponding to distributing to this repetition bits mode region (8 * 69 channel bit) three hunting periods in these cycles eight hunting periods.Distribute to the APC zone remaining five hunting period.Although five hunting periods guarantee to be used for the APC zone, actual learn or proofread and correct the i-L characteristic do not need described five hunting periods.All the other cycles of distributing in cycle in APC zone still keep not using.And, also providing the APC zone in the zone because move at the top of RUB, the APC zone in the protection zone is with regard to unnecessary use.In this case, all still remain and do not use the zone all five hunting periods.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, the APC zone after the repetition bits mode region in the protection zone that intercourse write down of data record is noted.By review methods its evaluate parameter quoted and the relation between the recording power are obtained by utilizing the APC zone.Particularly, after the interruption of data recording, assessment is and then in the quality of recorded data before, and the relation between recording power and the evaluate parameter is calculated by utilizing the APC zone.By utilizing and then in that the quality of recorded data and the relation of being calculated increase or reduce current record power before.Pass between recording power and the evaluate parameter ties up to zone that the record of data interrupted rather than calculates at the test zone of carrying out OPC.Thereby recording power can accurately be regulated.
Fig. 9 illustrates the configuration of major part, and this part is regulated the recording power in the APC zone in the protection zone that is included in recording unit block RUB.Except having LD, quadruple photo-detector PD, object lens, beyond the object lens driving circuit (driving circuit is used for producing drive actions in focus direction and at tracking direction) etc., optical pickup apparatus 16 also has driver (LDD) 22.

(4) record repetition bits pattern in the protection zone, and in the APC zone of protection zone, progressively change recording power, thus tentatively write test data.
(5) after finishing tentative the writing of data, reproduce the arbitrary portion of the data of and then before the interruption of recording operation, being obtained, and the quality (for example, β value) of the such data division that reproduces of assessment.
(6) reproduce the test data that tentatively writes, and assess the quality of the data of being reproduced, thereby calculate the relation between recording power and the evaluate parameter.
(7), regulate current record power according to the relation that exists between result calculated performed in (6) or (5) and (6).
Figure 10 illustrates the recording pulse signal pattern of the light that LD launched (or by), and it is used to tentatively write test data in the APC zone of protection zone (Guard 3) to be recorded after recording operation interrupts.In Figure 10, recording power divided for five steps changed: power (0.7Po), and it reduces 30% with respect to current record power P o; Power (0.85Po), it reduces 15% with respect to current record power P o; Power (1.15Po), it increases by 15% with respect to current record power P o; And power (1.3Po), it increases by 30% with respect to current record power P o.Power level is distributed to a hunting period in five hunting periods, and test data is tentatively write.In first hunting period, recording power is 0.7Po.In second hunting period, recording power is 0.85Po, or the like.Test data can be at random or have a predetermined length.In the accompanying drawings, data with shortest length and the repeat pattern with data of maximum length are arranged.
Figure 11 A illustrates the waveform of the reproducing signal that has been obtained when test data shown in Figure 10 has tentatively write to 11D.Figure 11 A illustrates test data and waveform signal; Figure 11 B illustrates owing to peak holding circuit 43 has detected the waveform that the peak value with the waveform of signal obtains; Figure 11 C illustrates owing to averaging circuit 44 has detected the waveform that the mean value with the waveform of signal obtains; And Figure 11 D illustrates owing to bottom holding circuit 46 has detected the waveform that the bottom with the waveform of signal obtains.The β value defined of reproducing signal is β=(A-B)/(A+B), supposes that the peak level note of the reproducing signal of RC coupling is made A, and the bottom level note of the reproducing signal of RC coupling is made B.By utilizing these values, system controller 32 calculates the β value for each recording power, and the β value that will calculate like this stores storer into.Demoder 36b sends to system controller 32 with sequential (the reproduction sequential of test data), and system controller 32 calculates the β value according to clock signal for each recording power.
Figure 12 illustrates a curve map, has wherein drawn the β value of being calculated at the corresponding power level (note is made P1 to P5) of dividing for five steps changed (note is made β 1 to β 5).(P, β) these organize calculated relationship expression formula β=f (P) to system controller 32 by utilizing.With this relational expression of target beta value β m substitution, thereby calculate target record power P m and increase or reduce current record power.
