- the power supply section 84 is provided in the figure, a connection terminal (not shown) for an external power supply (not shown) should be provided instead of the power supply section 84, and the external power supply and the connection terminal should be connected.
- the power supply may be configured to supply power.
- the configuration of the optical pickup head 80 is not limited at all, and the optical pickup head in the present embodiment is the same as the conventional configuration shown in FIG.
- the optical storage medium drive unit 81 is an optical storage medium Rotate body 41.
- the optical pickup head 80 sends a signal corresponding to the positional relationship between the optical pickup head 80 and the optical storage medium 41 to the signal processing unit 83.
- the signal processing unit 83 amplifies or calculates the transmitted signal to generate a focus error signal and a TE signal, and finely moves the optical pickup head 80 or the objective lens in the optical pickup head. Further, the optical pickup head 80 sends a signal from which information recorded on the optical storage medium 41 is read to the signal processing unit 83.
- the signal processor 83 demodulates information recorded on the optical storage medium 41. Actuators 91 and 92 drive the objective lens in the optical pickup head 80.
- the optical pickup head drive unit 82 is generally called a traverse mechanism.
- the optical pickup head drive unit 82 is provided to an optical pickup so that a beam emitted from the optical pickup head 80 is focused on a desired position of the optical storage medium 41. Move the position of the pad 80. Focus servo and tracking servo are performed on the optical storage medium 41 by the signal and the optical pickup head drive unit 82 or the actuators 91 and 92 to read, write, or erase information. Power is supplied from the power supply unit 84 to the signal processing unit 83, the optical pickup head drive unit 82, the optical storage medium drive unit 81, and the actuators 91 and 92.
- the optical storage medium 41 has two information recording surfaces 41b and 41c as in the conventional optical storage medium 40.
- the information recording surface 41b is a semi-permeable film.
- the optical storage medium 41 is different from the conventional optical storage medium 40 in that the conventional optical storage medium 40 records information by 8-16 modulation, that is, a modulation method in which the shortest mark and space length are 3T.
- 1-7 modulation that is, information is recorded in a modulation method in which the shortest mark and space length are 2T and the mark length is limited.

- FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example of a specific configuration of the signal processing unit 83.
- FIG. 2 shows a configuration of a part for demodulating information and a part for generating a recording signal used when recording information on an optical storage medium.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration.
- the signal output from the optical pickup head 80 is input to the equalizer section 81. Since the high-frequency component of the signal output from the optical pickup head 80 depends on the optical frequency characteristics, the high-frequency component of the input signal is emphasized by the equalizer section 81. Then, the deterioration of the high frequency component of the optically degraded signal is corrected.
- the signal output from the equalizer section 8101 is automatically adjusted by an automatic gain adjuster section 810 so that the signal amplitude becomes constant. Since the optical information device functions even without the automatic gain adjustment section 8100, it can be omitted. However, by providing the automatic gain adjustment section 8100, the reflectance of the optical storage medium 41 can be reduced. Even if it fluctuates, it is less susceptible to the influence, so that the reliability of the optical information device is improved. Further, the automatic gain adjustment unit 8100 may be provided in a stage preceding the equalizer unit 8101. The signal output from the automatic gain adjustment section 8104 is input to the binarization section 804 and the partial response section 802, respectively.
- the binarizing section 804 converts the input signal into binary values of 1 and 0.
- the binarized signal is input to a clock signal generator 805, and the clock signal generator 805 generates a clock signal having a timing corresponding to the signal recorded on the optical storage medium 41.
- the clock signal generation section 805 can be configured to have a general phase-locked loop (hereinafter, referred to as PLL) including a phase comparator, a low-pass filter, VCO, and the like.
- PLL phase-locked loop
- the S / N of signals obtained from 2T marks and spaces is often poor. At this time, if a click signal is generated using the edges of all marks and spaces, the jitter of the clock signal will increase, and the information recorded on the optical storage medium cannot be reproduced faithfully. Also occurs.
- a clock signal is generated using the edges of all the marks and spaces, and after the PLL is pulled in, the phase comparison relating to the edges related to the 2T marks and spaces is performed. The result is excluded, and the mouth signal is generated.
- the 2T mark and space are identified by the partial response unit 802, and the result of identifying the 2T mark and space is sent from the partial response unit 802 to the clock signal generation unit 805.
- Optical information equipment first When starting, by using the edges of all marks and spaces,
- the clock signal generation unit 805 in the optical information device increases the recording density of the optical storage medium so that even if the SZN of the signal obtained from the 2T mark and space is deteriorated, the jitter can be reduced. It outputs a clock signal with less noise, and the information can be reproduced with high reliability.
- the clock signal generated by the clock signal generation unit 805 is input to the optical storage medium drive signal generation unit 806 and the partial response unit 802.
- the optical storage medium drive signal generation unit 806 generates an optical storage medium drive signal for controlling the drive speed of the optical storage medium 41 according to the input signal.
- the optical storage medium drive signal generated by the optical storage medium drive signal generation section 806 is supplied to the optical storage medium drive section 81.
- the signal output from the partial response unit 802 is input to the demodulation unit 803, and the signal recorded on the optical storage medium 41 is demodulated.
- Figure 3 shows the relationship between the threshold (SL1, SL2) set by the partial response and the eye pattern.
- the thresholds are the first threshold SL 1 between the signal obtained from the 2T mark and the signal obtained from the 3T mark, and the signal obtained from the 2T space and the signal obtained from the 3T space.
- the second threshold value SL2 is set between the signals.
- the partial response unit 802 samples the signal output from the automatic gain adjustment unit 810 at the timing of the edge of the clock signal, and identifies the length of the mark and the space.
- FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the clock signal CLK generated by the clock signal generation unit 805 and the marks recorded on the information recording surfaces 41b and 41c of the optical storage medium 41.
- Marks 902a to 902c are 2T long marks, and Mark 903 is a 3T long mark.Here, each has a length of 0.15 / im and a length of 0.225 / 5 // m.
- the 2T and 3T marks recorded on the information recording surface 40c are the marks 902a and 903, respectively, and the width W of each mark is equal.
- the two and three T marks recorded on the information recording surface 40b are the marks 902b and 903, respectively, and the mark 902b is smaller in width W and length L than the mark 902a. It will be connected.
- the mark 902b can be changed to the mark 902c. At this time, the length L of the mark 902b can be increased, but the width W is still smaller than the mark 902a.
- the width can be the same as that of the mark having a length of 3T.
- the width cannot be made sufficiently large as compared with a 3T mark. This is because the information recording surface 40b is made of a semi-transparent film, so that the heat diffusion time on the information recording surface 41b is slow, and a kind of erasing effect acts on the recorded mark.
- This phenomenon occurs not only when a phase change material is used for a recording film but also when information is recorded or erased using heat, such as a magneto-optical material.
- the mark of 4 T or more has the same width as the mark of 3 T.
- the decrease in the mark size is more remarkable as the mark length is shorter, and the effect is usually not negligible below ⁇ / ( ⁇ 2.5). That is, when NA is 0.85 and ⁇ is 0.405 jum, the mark length is 0.190 ⁇ or less, and this effect cannot be ignored.
- the aperture ratio of the eye in the eye pattern decreases, and as a result, the jitter after binarization increases. That is, when the length of the shortest mark and space is 2 mm, the jitter is relatively larger than that of the longer mark and space of 3 mm or more.
- the mark length of 2 mm is 0.15 / xm and the mark length of 3T is 0.225 im, as described above, the mark force of 2T is higher than that of other marks. And the jitter after two straight increases significantly increases. Therefore, in this embodiment, two thresholds are provided to detect a signal by a partial response. Even if the width of the 2T mark is reduced, the RF signal does not exceed the two thresholds and does not adversely affect information detection. That is, even if the width of the 2T mark recorded on the information recording surface 4 Ob becomes narrow, the information can be reproduced with high reliability.
- Figure 5 shows the relationship between mark length and signal amplitude.
- the horizontal axis is ⁇ / (ML-NA).
- e is the wavelength of the light source
- NA is the numerical aperture of the objective lens of the optical pickup head
- ML is the length of a pair of marks and spaces of the same length.
- the vertical axis is the signal amplitude obtained when I 2 pp / I 8 pp is a pair of 2T mark and space divided by the signal amplitude obtained when 8 T mark and space are paired. Value.
- I 3 p pZl 8 pp is a value obtained by dividing the signal amplitude obtained when the 3T mark and space are paired by the signal amplitude obtained when the 8T mark and space are paired.
- the conventional method of simply detecting a binary signal deteriorates the edge jitter related to the 2T mark and space, while
- the distance between the signals obtained from the 2T and 3T marks or spaces and the thresholds becomes wider, that is, the 2T length mark and the space and 3T length mark And the difference from the space can be easily identified. Therefore, when ML is the length of the 2T mark and space of the pair, and ⁇ / (ML-NA) is greater than 1.25, use a partial response unit that sets two thresholds or PRML It becomes effective.
- the optical storage medium 41 has two recording layers has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this case.
- the recording layer of an optical storage medium has the property that two marks are thinner than a mark of 3 T or more, or ML is the length of a pair of 2 T marks and a space.
- / (ML'NA) is larger than 1.25, regardless of the number of recording layers, in any case, the information is reproduced with high reliability by using the optical information device of the present invention. It goes without saying that we can do this.
- the optical information device of the present invention is not limited to recording / reproducing of an optical storage medium which can be recorded many times, but may be an optical storage medium which can be recorded only once, or an optical storage dedicated for reading. It is also effective for media.
- the width of the 2T mark is narrower than the width of the mark of 3T or more. It can happen. Considering that the shortest wavelength of the laser applicable to cutting of the master is about 270 nm and the maximum numerical aperture of the objective lens is about 0.9, the shortest mark length is 0.2 ⁇ and the track pitch is In the case of producing a high-density read-only optical storage medium having a height of less than 0.4 Aim, it is inevitable that a mark width of 2T becomes narrower than a mark width of 3T or more. Also in this case, the effect of the optical information device of the present embodiment is particularly exhibited.
- the width of a 2T mark is smaller than that of a mark of 3T or more. Can also be particularly common. Also in this case, the effect of the optical information device of the present embodiment is particularly exhibited.
- the width of the 2T mark can be made the same as the width of the 3T mark, but the time required for cutting is much longer than when a laser beam is used. Because of the length, the cost of the optical storage medium increases accordingly.
- the shortest mark is not limited to the length 2T, and the effect of the present invention can be obtained when the width of the shortest mark is smaller than the width of the mark longer than the shortest mark. It may be T.

Even when relative tilt and defocus between the optical storage medium and the head occur, data can be recorded correctly. Further, as in the present embodiment, the edge jitter including the shortest mark and the shortest space can be obtained. By setting the threshold of the data and the threshold of the jitter of the edge not including the shortest mark and the shortest space, more optimal recording and reproduction can be performed.

- the edge interval measuring circuit 906 can measure the jitter of the edge that does not include the shortest mark and the shortest space that do not measure the edge interval masked by the output signal 902 of the selector circuit 901. Any other method may be used. Also, the edge interval is measured based on the output signal 1 1 1 of the binarization circuit 6 04 and the output signal 1 1 2 of the PLL 6 05, but the measurement of the edge interval is not limited to this. The edge interval of only the output signal 1 1 1 of the binarization circuit 6 04 may be measured.
- the jitter value at the edge interval of only the output signal 1 1 1 of the binarization circuit 6 4 Based on 1 1 1 and the output signal 1 1 2 of PL 605, the jitter value at the edge interval is about 1.4 1 times, and the edge of only the output signal 1 1 1 of the binarization circuit 6 0 4 Even when the jitter value at the interval is detected, it has a corresponding effect.

If a mark is recorded so as to have at least an amplitude that can detect the presence of a signal, data can be correctly reproduced even if the jitter value in all edges is large. It is very effective to determine the recording condition by detecting the jitter of the edge that does not include the mark and the shortest space.
- the edge jig that does not include the shortest mark and the shortest space is used. And the ability to detect both the jitter of the edge including the shortest mark and the shortest space Even if only the jitter of the edge not including the shortest mark and the shortest space is detected, it has a corresponding effect.
- the shortest mark is specified in the case of the RLL code, so that the shortest mark and the shortest space can be easily detected.
- the RLL (1, 7) modulation method if a 2.5T signal is detected from the reproduced waveform, there is a possibility of 2T and a possibility of 3T, but a signal shorter than 2T was detected. In that case 2 T is more likely. Therefore, when recording is performed using the RLL code, it is effective to detect the jitter of the edge that does not include the shortest mark and the shortest space as in the present embodiment.
- the optical entity straight as the threshold varies depending on the shape condition of the error correction capability and an equalizer of an optical information apparatus, assuming a bit error rate of about 1. 0X 10-3 from 1.0 10_ 4 before error correction

- the reproduction signal quality detection means B 105 about 7% to 10% is desirable for the normal linear equalizer shown in the present embodiment, and 5% to 10% for a non-linear equalizer such as a limit equalizer whose boost amount is larger than the linear equalizer. About 8% is desirable.
- the jitter value serving as the threshold value of the reproduction signal quality detection means A 104 is equal to or larger than the jitter value serving as the threshold value of the reproduction signal quality detection means B 105. Note that the jitter value may vary by about 1 to 2% depending on the configuration of the reproduction system and the like.
- recording may be performed on both tracks after the center track is recorded.
- the influence of erasure by adjacent tracks can be included, and the jitter value can be detected under conditions closer to actual data recording.
- the data may be recorded at a peak power higher than the peak power of recording the center track on the adjacent track. By obtaining the peak power under more severe conditions, more reliable recording can be performed.
- the adjacent track may be recorded on the central track after recording.
- the influence of the adjacent track can be reduced, and the peak power can be obtained correctly.
