  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional shape of an optical disc 15 as an optical recording medium according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  A groove G as a spiral guide groove is formed in the recording layer M of the optical disk 15 shown in FIG. In general, in an optical disc, when viewed from the incident direction of laser light, a convex portion is called a groove G, and a concave portion is called a land L. Here, the groove G is an information recording track, and data is recorded in the groove G.

  As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the track has a lead-in area, a data area, and a lead-out area from the inner circumference side toward the outer circumference side. It is divided into a plurality of areas including The lead-in area is a management information area in which management information and the like are stored. The data area is an area for storing user data. The lead-out area is an area in which information for indicating the end position of data is stored. In FIG. 2, for convenience, the track is shown in a straight line, the left side of the paper is the inner peripheral side of the optical disc 15, and the right side of the paper is the outer peripheral side of the optical disc 15.

  Also, the track meanders (wobbles) with respect to the center of the track as shown in FIG. 3 as an example. The track pitch is 0.74 μm.

  The meandering shape of the track is determined by the ADIP unit and the carrier wave. Various information is included in the ADIP unit. The carrier wave is used to generate a reference clock signal. In this embodiment, a basic unit composed of one ADIP unit and a series of carrier waves is referred to as an information frame. As shown in FIG. 4 as an example, the size of one information frame is 93 wobbles (wobble numbers 0 to 92) when the size of one carrier wave period (also referred to as a wobble period) is 1 wobble. . The wobble numbers 0 to 7 are ADIP units, and the wobble numbers 8 to 92 are carrier parts.

  The ADIP unit includes an area with wobble numbers 0 to 3 (hereinafter referred to as “synchronization information part” for convenience) and an area with wobble numbers 4 to 7 (hereinafter referred to as “ADIP information part” for convenience). Each of the information sections is phase-modulated (PSK: Phase Shift Keying).

  In the ADIP information part, 4 wobbles represent 1-bit data. When the bit data is “0”, as shown in FIG. 5A, the front two wobbles have the same phase as the carrier part, and the rear two wobbles have the opposite phase to the carrier part. On the other hand, when the bit data is “1”, as shown in FIG. 5B, the front two wobbles have the opposite phase to the carrier part and the rear two wobbles have the same phase as the carrier part.

  When the ADIP information part in the next information frame is the first bit of the data, the synchronization information part, as shown in FIG. 6 (A), outputs a word sync signal, that is, all four wobbles are opposite in phase to the carrier part. And Further, when bit data is included in the ADIP information part, as shown in FIG. 6B, the bit sync signal, that is, the leading one wobble is set in the opposite phase to the carrier part, and the remaining 3 The wobble is in phase with the carrier part.
