Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical medium determination method which can effectively distinguish a DVD disk and a CD disk in order to be favorable to an optical drive to read. The method makes an optical pickup reciprocate between two limit positions, which makes a focused beam pass through a data layer of the optical disk twice; then the time difference or the range difference of two reflection peaks, exceeding the threshold value of a reflection quantity is measured. Thereby, the disk type can be judged according to the result. Because the reflection peak of a transparent layer of the disk does not need to be detected, the erroneous judgment opportunity is reduced, which can effectively promote the reading efficiency of the optical drive.

Description

The optical medium determination methods
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical medium determination methods, especially a kind ofly can effectively distinguish DVD disc and CD disc, to help the method that CD-ROM drive reads.
Background technology
Therefore media for storing optical information is subjected to gazing at of industry and consumer because there is capacity to reach the untouchable advantage that reads greatly always.From the read-only compact video disc (LD) that occurs the earliest, music CD (CD), optical data disk (CD-ROM) and erasable CD (CD-RW) etc., because physical arrangement, specification and technology limitation, so capacity there is no very big breakthrough.Come out up to Video CD (DVD), owing to have the light source of less gauge, minimum pit hole length and use shorter wavelength, so the more known optical data disk of capacity promotes more than seven times.
The specification formulated of Video CD (DVD) can roughly be sorted out as follows so far.
1.BOOKA:DVD-ROM the DVD-ROM machine must be compatible forward with known optical data disk (CD-ROM).
2.BOOK B:DVD-Video, the DVD-Video machine must be compatible forward with known videodisc (VideoCD).
3.BOOK C:DVD-Audio, the DVD-Audio machine must be compatible forward with known music CD (CD).
4.BOOK D:DVD-R, the DVD-R machine must be compatible forward with the CD (CD-RW) of known read-write.
5.BOOK E:DVD-RAM uses phase change optical disk.
In aforesaid four kinds of Video CDs, since must with known optical data disk (CD-ROM), videodisc (video CD), music CD (CD), and erasable CD (CD-RW) compatible forward, therefore general DVD-ROM machine also wants to read the CD of CD-ROM form.Right in the DVD disc has different physical arrangements and reads mode with the CD disc, therefore must to differentiate disc kind fast be Video CD (being called for short the DVD disc) and general disc (being called for short the CD disc) to digital laser video disk machine (DVD drive), to take the suitable mechanism that reads.
As shown in Figure 1, read the synoptic diagram of a disc 20 for optical head and associated component thereof in the known CD-ROM drive.This optical head comprises a laser diode 10, it launches the laser beam of a specific wavelength, this light beam through one the polarization optical splitter 11 after, by a collimator 12 with its converge parallel beam, parallel beam will become Circular Polarisation for the linearly polarized light beam originally through a quarter wave plate 13.The Circular Polarisation light beam forms a luminous point SP on disc after via the focusing of object lens 14.One drive circuit 30 drives an actuator 32, controlling these object lens 14 by moving along the optical axis fore-and-aft direction, and changes luminous point SP position, and luminous point SP can be focused on the data Layer of disc.Luminous point SP oppositely via behind object lens 14, the quarter wave plate 13, is become linear polarization by original Circular Polarisation by the reflected light of disc data layer, arrives polarization optical splitter 11 via collimator 12 again.This moment, folded light beam was because linear polarization direction and original light beam polarised direction were vertical, therefore can be reflected to behind the condenser lens 15 again by a device for testing light 16 receptions.
Referring to Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, be the synoptic diagram of known discs determination methods.Because the distance on DVD disc data layer 22 and hyaline layer border is about the distance on 0.6mm, CD disc data layer 22 and hyaline layer border and is about 1.2mm (the disc gross thickness is 1.2mm, data Layer is very near the printed layers right with the hyaline layer borderline phase), therefore in known technology, be that light beam is judged disc kind by the hyaline layer edge reflection and by the range difference that data Layer reflects when measuring flying optical head.More specifically, as shown in Figure 3, trace reflection spike (peak) can be caused to luminous point in the hyaline layer border, and data Layer can cause bigger reflection spike to luminous point.For the DVD disc, the distance of these two reflection spikes is about 0.6mm; And for the CD disc, the distance of these two reflection spikes is about 1.2mm.By differentiating range difference or the mistiming between the spike, know that promptly disc is DVD disc or CD disc.Yet because trace reflection only can be caused to luminous point in the hyaline layer border, therefore be difficult for differentiating the position of hyaline layer, related can't the judgment data layer and the distance on hyaline layer border, so cause erroneous judgement.
