Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical head having a novel configuration and an optical disk recording apparatus using the optical head, and performs an optimum laser in real time during recording while performing high-accuracy tracking using a differential tracking system. It enables power adjustment, verification, prediction of scratches on the disc, and the like.

ッキングエラーを検出するものである。(1) Tracking control The tracking control method of the conventional optical disk recording device is as follows.
The three-beam method and the push-pull method were common. In the three-beam method, two sub beams are irradiated before and after the main beam with a slight shift from the center of the track in the left-right direction, and a difference in the amount of reflected light of the two sub beams on the disk is detected to detect a tracking error. . In the push-pull method, light reflected and diffracted by pits and guide grooves on a disc is received by a two-segment photodetector symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the track, and the difference in the amount of light received by the two light receiving units is obtained. This is to detect a tracking error.

フセットが生じる欠点があった。[0003] The three-beam method is the most stable method for reproduction. However, when this method is used for recording, the spot of the preceding sub-beam passes through the unrecorded portion, whereas the spot of the subsequent sub-beam passes. However, since the light passes through a recorded portion, the amount of reflected light is different, and there is a disadvantage that an offset occurs in the tracking error signal.

った。On the other hand, in the push-pull method, if the objective lens is shifted, or if the objective lens is warped or tilted in the radial direction, an offset occurs in the tracking error signal,
There is a disadvantage that the tracking amount cannot be sufficiently secured.

を検出するようにしたものである。There is a so-called differential push-pull method as a tracking control method which has solved the disadvantages of the conventional three-beam method and push-pull method. In this method, three beam spots are arranged at positions in the front-rear direction of the track and shifted by 1/2 track pitch in the left-right direction of the track, and the reflected light of each spot is detected by a two-segment photodetector. Each time, two signals are subtracted to obtain three push-pull signals, which are calculated by a predetermined arithmetic expression so as to cancel the offset, and a tracking error is detected.

Therefore, test writing is performed in advance before actual recording (actual recording) of the input signal. To set the optimum write power. For example, CD-Write
In the Once (CD-WO) standard, an area for performing the test writing is provided on the innermost periphery of the disc as a PCA (Power Calibration Area), and the OPC (Optimum Powe
The optimum write power is set by a series of operations called rControl).

In the operation, test recording is performed by changing the write power by a certain step at a time, the area in which the test recording is performed is reproduced, an asymmetry value (an index indicating the asymmetry of the HF signal) is calculated, and a value to be an optimum asymmetry value is calculated. (For example, 0.04)

ことがあった。In the conventional optical disk recording apparatus, since the OPC operation is performed prior to the actual recording,
There was a problem that it took time to start actual recording. In addition, the ALPC operation while performing actual recording requires a complicated circuit configuration, has a large number of parts, and has a problem of increasing cost and size. Further, even if the actual recording is once performed by obtaining the optimum recording laser power by the OPC operation,
It was not possible to cope with a variation in the optimum laser power value due to a variation in characteristics at the time of recording depending on the position in the disk radial direction. In addition, since the verification is performed by reproducing the recorded portion after the end of the actual recording, it takes a long time from the start of the actual recording to the end of the verification. Further, if the disc is damaged, an error may occur at the time of actual recording and writing may not be possible.

And the beam spot of the + 1st-order diffracted light is the same as the beam spot of the 0th-order diffracted light.
The beam spot of the −2nd-order diffracted light is located on the inner track adjacent to the track where the beam spot of the 0th-order diffracted light is located in the middle of the beam spot of the 2nd-order diffracted light. The beam spots are arranged so as to be located between the beam spot of the 0th-order diffracted light and the beam spot of the -2nd-order diffracted light, and the reflected light of each diffracted light from the disk is individually detected (however, ± 2nd-order diffracted light In some cases, it may be sufficient to receive only one of the + 2nd-order diffracted light and the -2nd-order diffracted light depending on the use form.)

An optical disk recording device that modulates a laser beam with a recording signal using the optical head and irradiates the optical disk with an optical signal to sequentially record data from an inner track to an outer track of the disk, using 0-order diffracted light. Recording is performed, and tracking control is performed by the differential push-pull method using the received light signals of the 0th-order light and ± 1st-order diffracted light. Also,
The asymmetry value of the reproduction signal component included in the received light signal of the −2nd-order diffracted light (light following the recording 0th-order diffracted light) is detected, and the optimum power adjustment is performed while recording with the 0th-order diffracted light, or −2. By comparing the reproduced signal component included in the received light signal of the next-order diffracted light with the original recording signal, verification is performed while recording is performed with the zero-order diffracted light. Further, a defect such as a scratch on a track before recording is detected using + 2nd-order diffracted light (light preceding the 0th-order diffracted light for recording), and if a defect is detected, the loop gain of the tracking servo system is reduced. By doing so, the track is prevented from coming off due to the scratch.

The signal component is removed and only the reproduced signal component is extracted. As a method of removing the recording signal component from the received light signal of the −2nd-order diffracted light, for example, since the received light signal of the + 2nd-order diffracted light tracing on an unrecorded track consists only of the recording signal component, There is a method of subtracting the received light signal of the +2 order diffracted light from. Alternatively, instead of the received light signal of the + 2nd-order diffracted light, the signal itself before recording (the drive signal of the semiconductor laser) may be used to subtract from the received light signal of the −2nd-order diffracted light.

While passing through the position (the position of the zero-order diffracted light), the loop gain of the track servo is reduced to prevent unnecessary off-track.

The intensity of the laser light 38 is fine-tuned in real time so that the asymmetry value of the reproduction signal component in the received light signal detected by the step 8 becomes the optimum asymmetry value (for example, 0.04). This fine adjustment does not require sample hold and AD conversion in the conventional ALPC control, so that the circuit configuration can be simplified.

Recording is started (S2). Alternatively, the optimum laser power value may be obtained in advance by the OPC operation and set as the initial value. After the start of recording, the asymmetry measurement circuit 100 detects the asymmetry value (S3), determines whether or not the value is the optimal asymmetry value (S4), and adjusts the laser beam intensity when the value is out of the optimal asymmetry value (S3).
5) When the optimum asymmetry value is obtained, the laser beam intensity at that time is held (S6).

Are recorded in advance. Therefore, a standard value of the optimum recording power value for each disc type (for example, when ID = 1 (XX disc of XX), 6 mW, ID = 2 (□ of △△)
□ ROM for 7.5mW for disk)
The disk ID is read at the time of recording, the type of the disk is identified, the optimum power value determined for the disk is read from the ROM, and recording is started using the value as an initial value.

The PC operation is realized. If the disk ID is used as the initial value, the prior OPC operation becomes unnecessary. Further, even when the initial value is obtained by the OPC operation in advance, an effect is obtained that can cope with a change in the optimum recording power value due to the radial position after the start of recording.

At 8, the signal R (reproduced signal) is compared with the signal So (recorded signal) to perform verification. This compares the EFM signals (the bit strings "1" and "0" are directly compared).
This can be done easily. Since the signal R is detected with a delay of about one turn with respect to the signal So, the signal So is delayed by this delay and compared. Further, instead of directly comparing the signals R and So, the signals R and So may be EFM demodulated and then compared. Also, the comparison can be made by using a signal itself before recording (a drive signal of a semiconductor laser or data before EFM modulation) instead of the signal So as a recording signal.
