JP 2006-294189 A

  Tracking servo stability is important in the reliability of optical disk devices. The stability of the tracking servo is mainly determined by the signal stability that the zero point of the tracking error signal correctly matches the center of the recording information track under various usage conditions. The deviation is called a tracking error signal offset.

  Ideally, the offset of the tracking error signal should be as close to zero as possible (no deviation), but due to manufacturing variations of pickups that are optical heads and media variations such as disk warping and waviness, deviations occur and offsets occur. To do. By shifting the zero point of the signal, it becomes impossible to servo to the center of the track correctly, and this causes a derailment during recording / reproducing of the disk.

  As an improvement measure, a method of correcting an offset that is a deviation amount in signal processing is described in Patent Document 1 and the like, but a sufficient correction effect is obtained because it is affected by the vibration characteristics of the objective lens actuator itself. In addition, there is a problem that the cost of the correction circuit increases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an optical disc apparatus that reliably corrects an offset of a tracking error signal by low-cost signal processing.

  The above object can be achieved, for example, by the invention described in the claims.

  According to the present invention, since the double correction effect can be obtained at high speed by combining the correction by the pickup output signals and the circuit side correction, the circuit side correction itself can be performed with low accuracy and low cost, and the frequency. An optical disk device with good characteristics can be provided.

  Hereinafter, an optical disk device according to the present invention will be described. The optical disk apparatus according to the present invention has a feature that the offset of the tracking error signal can be easily and reliably corrected on the circuit side by using the slight learning information on the LSI side of several tens of bytes by utilizing the characteristics of the pickup output signal. To do. The optical disk apparatus according to the present invention can be realized by a combination of an optical pickup having a signal output corresponding to correction and a signal processing circuit having a correction processing function. Further, by incorporating the signal processing circuit into a single integrated circuit chip having decoding and error correction functions, it is possible to realize low cost, high functionality and high reliability.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in the following examples with reference to the drawings. For ease of understanding, the same reference numerals are given to parts showing the same action in each drawing.

  The optical disc apparatus of this embodiment corrects the offset of the tracking error signal so that tracking servo can be performed correctly.

  First, a problem in the optical disc apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. In the optical disc apparatus, in order to follow the track correctly even when there is disc eccentricity, signal correction is performed to correct the tracking error signal used for servo with respect to the lens center shift (lens shift: LS) caused by the eccentricity. Yes. For example, in the case of the three-spot method, as shown in FIG. 2A, two sub-spot light-receiving surfaces 51 are arranged on both sides of the main spot light-receiving surface 50, and a push-pull signal (main push-pull signal) detected on the main spot light-receiving surface is detected. The so-called differential push-pull method (differential push-pull method) corrects the offset of the signal: MPP) by taking the difference from the push-pull signal (sub push-pull signal: SPP) detected on the sub-spot light receiving surface. Method: DPP method). This corrected push-pull signal is referred to as a differential push-pull signal (differential push-pull signal: DPP). Normally, in the correctly adjusted differential push-pull signal, as shown in FIG. 2B, the vertical fluctuation (offset) of the DPP signal accompanying the lens shift disappears. However, in recent years, multilayer optical discs having two or more recording layers need to use a light-receiving surface in which the central portion of the sub-spot is cut out as shown in FIG. Occurred. In this case, since the light receiving surface shapes of the main spot and the sub spot are different, when the spot shifts due to lens shift, an unbalance occurs between the MPP signal and the SPP signal as shown in FIG. In particular, on the SPP signal side, non-linear vertical fluctuation (offset) occurs with lens shift. For this reason, a non-linear offset with respect to the lens shift occurs in the signal obtained by the conventional DPP method, and the tracking servo is likely to be derailed.

  A similar problem occurs in a tracking error signal generation method called a one-beam method. 4 (a) and 4 (b) are examples of diffraction grating patterns used in the one-beam method. The hatched portion in FIG. 4 (a) is the MPP signal, and the shaded portion in FIG. 4 (b) is the SPP. This pattern corresponds to the generation of a signal corresponding to the lens displacement corresponding to the signal (lens error signal: LE signal). However, since the pattern shapes are different between (a) and (b), a large lens shift is illustrated. A non-linear offset of the DPP signal as shown in 4 (c) occurs. In the future, this non-linear offset will be referred to as a non-linear offset. On the other hand, the linear change of the offset is called a linear offset.

  Generally, if the linear offset is correctly adjusted by the DPP method, it can be canceled out to almost zero. However, the nonlinear offset cannot be completely corrected, and a nonlinear component remains. The optical disc apparatus of this embodiment can correct this nonlinear offset component.

  Even if there is no nonlinear offset of the optical pickup, if the disk medium is warped or partially deformed as shown in FIG. 8, the balance of reflected light is lost, and the disk rotation is similar to the nonlinear offset at first glance. Periodic offset fluctuations synchronized with the period remain. The optical disc apparatus of the present embodiment can correct this periodic offset fluctuation component.

(Specific Configuration Example of Optical Disc Device According to the Present Invention)
Next, an example of an embodiment of the overall configuration of the information reproducing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The overall configuration of the apparatus includes an optical pickup unit 1, an optical disk 2 serving as a medium, a mechanism unit including a spindle motor 3, and other signal processing circuit units.

  An optical disk 2 as a recording medium is mounted on a spindle motor 3 whose rotation speed is controlled by a rotation servo circuit 4. The medium is irradiated with light from the semiconductor laser 6 driven by the laser drive circuit 5.

  The light of the semiconductor laser 6 passes through the diffraction grating 7 for the three-spot method and is divided into three beams. In the case of the one-beam method, this diffraction grating is not provided, and a diffraction grating 8 is provided on the return path instead. In the present embodiment, the three-beam method will be described as an example, but the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to this.

  Returning to the case of the 3-beam method, the description will be continued. The light that has passed through the diffraction grating 7 passes through the beam splitter 9 and goes directly to the collimating lens 10. The collimating lens 10 is held on a movable part of a lens driving mechanism, and this movable part is configured to be movable in a direction parallel to the optical axis by a stepping motor 11. The light that has passed through the collimating lens 10 passes through the λ / 4 plate 12, is condensed by the objective lens 13, and is irradiated onto the optical disc 2 that is a recording medium. The objective lens 13 is mounted on the actuator 14 so that the focal position can be driven in the focus direction and the track direction by the signal of the servo signal generation circuit 25, respectively. A part of the irradiated light is reflected by the disk 2, passes through the objective lens 13 again, passes through the λ / 4 plate 12, passes through the collimating lens 10, and enters the polarization beam splitter 9. At this time, the light beam is reflected by the polarization beam splitter 9 because the light beam has passed through the λ / 4 plate 12 twice, and thus is reflected by the polarization beam splitter 9 (in the case of the one beam method, it passes through the diffraction grating 8 here). ) Go to the detection lens 15. The light that has passed through the detection lens 15 passes through the semi-reflecting mirror 16, is detected by the detection surface on the light receiving element 17, and is converted into an electrical signal. In order to improve the signal / noise ratio (S / N ratio) of the reproduction signal, a semi-reflecting mirror 16 is inserted between the detection lens 15 and the light receiving element 17 so that the reproduction signal detector 18 having a high S / N ratio is obtained. It is attached.

  The electrical signal converted on the light receiving element 17 is amplified by a photocurrent amplifier in the light receiving element, and a light receiving signal 19 is output. The servo signal generation circuit 25 generates a focus error signal 20, a tracking error signal 21, a lens error signal 22, and a reproduction signal 23 (RF signal) from the received light signal 19. In this example, as the three-beam method, a four-divided photodetector is used to detect the focus error by a method that detects the astigmatism method. In the case of the one beam method, the focus error signal is detected by the knife edge method.

  From the tracking error signal 21 (DPP), the lens error signal 22 (LE), and the reproduction signal 23 (RF signal) output from the servo signal generation circuit 25, the tracking offset correction amount signal generation circuit 24 causes the tracking offset correction amount signal to be output. 29 (ΔDPP correction value) is output. The switch 40 switches between the 3-beam method and the 1-beam method. In this figure, the switching is on the 3-beam method side. The tracking offset correction amount signal generation circuit 24 first generates a lens error signal 31 (corrected LE) that has been subjected to total light amount correction using a divider 26 from the lens error signal 22 and the reproduction signal 23 (RF signal). This is useful for increasing the accuracy of the correction according to the present invention by preventing erroneous detection of the lens shift amount due to fluctuations in the total amount of light reproduced. The lens error signal 31 corrected for the total light quantity is input to the lens error signal fluctuation storage / reproduction circuit 45, and learning is performed by storing the fluctuation (ΔLE) of the lens error signal, and the comparison is made with the reproduced stored value. Thus, the lens shift position can be controlled in accordance with the disk rotation so as to reproduce the variation of the stored lens error signal. At this time, the minute wobble signal oscillator 46 can be vibrated slightly from the lens shift position. Thereby, the amplitude of the tracking error signal 21 at each lens shift position can be reliably detected. Further, the median amplitude generation circuit 27 generates an upper envelope signal based on the maximum value peak detection and a lower envelope signal based on the minimum value peak detection based on the push-pull signal obtained from the tracking error signal 21 during the learning or when the tracking servo is turned off. The DPP offset correction amount signal 32 (ΔDPP learning value) is generated by generating and taking the average value. The correction value storage generation circuit 28 stores / reads / interpolates the DPP offset correction amount signal (ΔDPP) output from the amplitude median value generation circuit 27 in accordance with the spindle rotation clock 44 output from the rotation servo circuit 4. The tracking offset correction amount signal 29 is output. By correcting the tracking offset correction amount signal 29 by adding to or subtracting from the tracking error signal 21, the tracking error signal 30 after the DC offset correction for driving the actuator 14 is generated.

  The reproduction signal 23 reproduced from the disk 2 is selected from the reproduction signal detector 18 output using the switch 33, and then an equalization circuit 34, a level detection circuit 35, and a synchronous clock generation circuit. After passing through 36, the decoding circuit 37 converts the digital signal into the recorded original signal. At the same time, the synchronous clock generation circuit 36 directly detects the synthesized reproduction signal to generate a synchronization signal and supplies it to the decoding circuit 37. These series of circuits are controlled by the main control circuit 38 in a centralized manner. In this configuration, the nonvolatile memory 39 is provided so that the initial parameters of the optical pickup necessary for correction can be maintained even when the power is turned off, and the initialization operation can be speeded up by using the previous learning contents. It has become.

  Next, the configuration of the correction value storage generation circuit 28 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 is a detailed configuration of the correction value storage generation circuit 28. The correction value storage generation circuit 28 stores the DPP offset amount to be corrected and performs interpolation processing according to the disk rotation angle (here, the spindle rotation clock 44). Each of the plurality of correction value storage circuits 41 corresponds to the disk rotation angle range, and one of the correction value storage circuits 41 learns the input DPP offset correction amount signal 32 (ΔDPP learning value) when focus servo is on and tracking servo is off. Work to remember inside. The stored correction value 42 is output to the interpolation circuit 43. In the interpolation circuit 43, using the correction values 42 stored in the four neighboring points and the disk rotation angle, the interpolation circuit 43 whose corresponding interpolation range is matched outputs the interpolated tracking offset correction amount signal 29. As a result, an interpolation waveform output in which the points of the stored correction values are smoothly connected is generated as an output of the correction value storage generation circuit 28.

で示される数式によりａ、ｂ、ｃ、ｄを各区間ごとに求め、 FIG. 6 shows the internal operation of the interpolation circuit 43. The interpolation processing is performed by spline interpolation, and the calculated value is approximated by a smooth cubic function as shown in FIG. 6 and output with the disk rotation angle x and the stored correction value 42 as S. . During learning

A, b, c, and d are obtained for each section by the mathematical formula represented by

Is calculated and output while the tracking servo is on.

  Since the learning is performed only when the push-pull signal amplitude is obtained, the learning is performed while the focus servo is on and the tracking servo is off. A value corresponding to each disk rotation angle (here, spindle rotation clock 44) is stored. Alternatively, this learning can be performed in advance at the time of shipment of the optical disc apparatus. Learning is also performed in the radial direction, so that the correction can be performed with high accuracy corresponding to the variation of the medium.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of the correction learning procedure. The semiconductor laser is turned on, and a focus error signal is scanned by moving the lens up and down (lens swing) to determine the type of the disk. Next, the disk rotation is started and the collimating lens position is moved to roughly adjust the spherical aberration. Next, the focus servo is turned on. Since the DPP signal can be detected at this time, the lens shift is performed to adjust the gains of the two variable gain amplifiers, and the k value adjustment in the so-called differential push-pull method is performed. Thereby, the linear offset of the DPP signal is corrected. Next, the phase lock circuit (PLL) is turned on in accordance with the index signal 62 synchronized with the disk rotation and the spindle rotation clock 63. First, the tracking servo is turned on in an unlearned state, and the one-round fluctuation of the lens error signal (LE) is learned. Next, the tracking servo is turned off, and the lens shift amount is servoed so as to reproduce the circular fluctuation of the lens error signal learned immediately before. Here, this lens shift amount servo is referred to as LE fluctuation reproduction servo. The fluctuation in the offset amount of the DPP signal measured in this state becomes the remaining nonlinear offset to be corrected. The variation of the offset amount of the DPP signal is learned by storing it in the correction value storage generation circuit. At this time, the disk radius position is changed by several points, and the ΔDPP learning value corresponding to each is learned. Typically, at each disk radius position, the median DPP amplitude envelope during one disk revolution is detected and stored. A spline interpolation coefficient is calculated from the plurality of stored DPP amplitude envelope median values learned. Note that the LE fluctuation reproduction servo may be turned off as soon as learning is completed. After the learning is completed, output of the tracking offset correction amount signal (ΔDPP correction value) is started, the tracking servo is turned on, and the reproducing operation or recording operation is started.

  The above configuration and its correction principle are summarized as shown in FIG. In the normal DPP method, the DPP signal and the LE signal are generated from the MPP signal and the SPP signal. However, in this configuration, the nonlinear offset amount remaining in the DPP signal in synchronization with the disk rotation is further learned while the tracking servo is off. Thereafter, while the tracking servo is turned on and the recording operation or reproduction operation continues, a correction value (ΔDPP) of the learned nonlinear offset of the DPP signal is generated while performing spline interpolation to correct the vertical fluctuation of the DPP signal. . At this time, first, a lens error signal corresponding to the lens shift amount signal is generated, and the lens error signal fluctuation is reproduced while the tracking servo is turned off by using the lens error signal fluctuation storage / reproduction means that receives the lens error signal. Servo lens shift amount. During the lens shift amount servo, a change in tracking offset corresponding to each disk rotation angle is learned and stored as a tracking offset correction amount. During the recording / reproducing operation, the disk rotation angle detection signal is input, the tracking offset correction amount signal corresponding to the disk rotation angle is generated, and the DPP signal is corrected. As a result of the correction, a tracking error signal (DPP2) after the DC offset correction is generated. Here, the exact value of the lens shift amount (LS) is unknown in this circuit, and instead of the lens shift amount, a lens error signal (LE) including distortion is used for generating a correction value. Although a differential push-pull signal (DPP signal) is considered as a normal tracking error signal, a signal obtained by subtracting the lens shift amount signal corresponding to the lens shift from the MPP signal in the one-beam method is called a DPP signal for convenience. In some cases, a signal that can be used as a tracking error signal for both the three-beam method and the one-beam method is called a DPP signal.

  That is, in this configuration, correction corresponding to factors other than the pickup such as periodic offset fluctuation of the tracking error signal due to warpage or deformation of the disk medium is possible, and correction can be made particularly at low cost and with high accuracy.

  In addition, when the error signal itself is feedback-controlled to zero, in the conventional example, estimation during tracking servo on cannot be performed, whereas in this configuration, the LE signal corresponding to the shift amount is detected even during tracking servo on. Therefore, a normal k value correction value is possible.

  In addition, it first learns the offset fluctuation associated with the disk rotation angle, and corrects the tracking error signal fluctuation synchronized with the disk rotation based on the learning result, so it can be generated only by adding and subtracting the signal, attenuator is unnecessary and low cost is there.

  Further, even when the LE signal value is distorted with respect to the actual lens shift amount (LS), by referring to the same LE signal during correction learning by the LE fluctuation reproduction servo, it is possible to correctly correct the DPP offset regardless of the distortion of the LE signal. A correction amount signal (ΔDPP) can be generated, and accurate correction can be realized.

  Further, since the mechanical neutral position accuracy of the objective lens is unnecessary, the learning result is not disturbed by the influence of surrounding vibration, and accurate learning and correction can be performed even under vibration such as on-vehicle. Further, since only the nonlinear offset component of the tracking error signal is corrected, the correction accuracy of the tracking error signal is improved. The correction value storage bit number and A / D conversion bit number are small, the calculation accuracy of the linear interpolation for correction is low, the correction value calculation time (sampling rate) and the correction output response frequency are also low. Cost is low. In addition, since the learning accuracy of the correction value is low, the time required for learning is shortened, and the preparation operation is fast.

  In the nonlinear offset correction method for the DPP signal according to this configuration, the correction function using the DPP offset correction amount signal (ΔDPP) can be used as an additional correction function for normal linear offset correction. That is, the learning operation for generating the ΔDPP signal is performed only when the amplitude median value generation circuit 27 detects that the DPP signal generated by the normal linear offset correction contains a large amount of nonlinear offset components. As a result, in a normal time when the nonlinear offset in the DPP signal is not a problem, the learning operation for nonlinearity correction is skipped, and the optical disk apparatus can be started at a higher speed. When the learning operation is skipped, the DPP offset correction amount signal may be set to zero (ΔDPP = 0).

  Further, in this configuration, correction corresponding to variations of individual pickups can be performed at low cost by learning.

  As shown in FIG. 8, by learning in synchronization with the rotation of the disk, even in a disk with unevenness according to the rotation direction, it is possible to grasp the fluctuation in the circumference with good reproducibility and learn a stable correction value. Specifically, the DPP signal may fluctuate up and down in one rotation period 71 with respect to time 70 due to the influence of the warp of the disk, etc., even if the k value can be adjusted correctly. Therefore, the learning of the correction value can be stabilized by learning these fluctuations in synchronization with the disk rotation, regardless of factors other than the lens shift characteristics of the pickup.

  Alternatively, by learning one point for each rotation of the spindle, it is possible to learn a stable correction value by grasping the variation of the entire circumference of the disk at the fastest speed. In this case as well, the learning of the correction value can be stabilized by taking the time average during one rotation.

  Further, in this configuration, as shown in FIG. 9, the correction value learning corresponding to the disc variation (warping, waviness, film thickness change) according to the radial position of the disc is used to cope with individual disc variations. Correction value learning capable of stable control can be performed. In this case, the correction value learning sequence is repeated at each disk radius position. These operations are performed only when it is detected that the tracking signal is an unstable disk, and the initialization operation is speeded up by skipping learning in a normal disk.

  In this configuration, since learning is performed using spline interpolation, the number of lens shift positions to be learned can be minimized, and highly accurate optimal correction values can be predicted, so the time required for learning can be minimized. The speed of the optical disk preparation operation can be increased. By performing the fitting process on the correction value in advance, an abnormal correction value due to noise can be prevented by averaging, and the control can be highly accurate. Further, since the nonvolatile memory 39 capable of storing the learning result is provided and the processing after the tracking servo is turned on can be completed in advance, the servo processing can be speeded up.

  Further, in this configuration, since the lens error signal is corrected by the total reproduction light amount, the difference in the recording / unrecorded area on the disc / recording / reproduction and the like can be achieved by combining with the correction circuit for the lens shift amount signal itself. Regardless of the difference in operating conditions, a signal corresponding to an accurate lens shift position can be obtained by correction, so that an accurate tracking offset correction amount signal with high reproducibility can be obtained, and the correction can be made highly accurate.

  This configuration can also be used for the 1-beam system. In the 1-beam system, the field of view (the deviation between the forward and backward paths of the beam within the effective beam diameter) changes in principle with lens shift. Compared with other systems such as the system, the nonlinearity of the lens shift amount signal change accompanying the lens shift is large, and the effect of improving the nonlinear component correction is large.

  In addition, this configuration can also be used for a three-beam method in which sub-spots are removed, and the normal three-beam method has a small nonlinearity because the linearity of the lens shift amount signal change with respect to the lens shift is relatively good. In the case of the modified three-beam method in which a part of the sub-spot light receiving surface is hollowed out as a countermeasure against double-layer interference light, other methods such as the normal three-beam method are available due to the difference in the shape of the light receiving surface of the sub spot and the main spot. As compared with the above, the non-linearity of the lens shift amount signal change accompanying the lens shift is large, and the effect of improving the non-linear component correction is large.

  In addition, this configuration can provide a great effect even with a multilayer optical disc as shown in FIG. In particular, in a multilayer optical disc having three or more layers, a large amount of stray light is incident on the light receiving element due to the reflected light between the layers. Under the influence of stray light, the nonlinearity / distortion of the tracking offset at the time of lens shift obtained in each layer causes different symptoms for each layer. By correcting each layer, good tracking servo stability can be obtained by utilizing the effect of this correction even when a multilayer optical disk medium is used. In this case, for example, by learning the ΔDPP value at each disk radius position for each layer, the nonlinear offset of the tracking error signal due to the stray light peculiar to the multilayer can be corrected.

  The present invention is also applicable to other optical recording apparatuses that perform tracking detection using interference, for example.
