Definitions
- the present invention relates to an optical recording medium recording / reproducing apparatus and spherical aberration correction method, and more particularly, to a recording / reproducing apparatus having a control unit such as aberration correction, focus servo, tracking servo, and spherical aberration correction. It is about the method.
- Optical discs such as CD (Compact disc), DVD (Digital Video Disc, Digital Versatile Disc) and Blu-ray Disc are known as information recording media on which information is recorded or reproduced optically.
- Different types of optical discs have been developed, such as a read-only optical disc, a write-once optical disc capable of additionally recording information, and a rewritable optical disc capable of erasing and re-recording information.
- the influence of the aberration of the light beam caused by the optical disk increases, and the accuracy of information recording and information reproduction can be improved.
- the problem becomes difficult.
- the influence of aberration due to the warp of the optical disk or the error in the thickness of the cover layer that protects the disk recording surface increases.
- the aberration due to the disc cover layer thickness error is called spherical aberration.
- a correction element in correcting spherical aberration a collimator lens, a beam expander, or a liquid crystal of an optical pickup is used.
- a spherical convergence detection signal (error signal) is required to correct spherical aberration.
- the generation of an error signal that is linear with respect to spherical aberration complicates the configuration of the pickup because it is necessary to add a detection system.
- spherical aberration correction is usually performed to maximize the RF signal amplitude wobble amplitude, focus error signal sensitivity, amplitude balance, or tracking error signal sensitivity, amplitude, balance, or the RF signal Jitter value ⁇ This is done by so-called optimum value search, which drives the correction element to minimize the error rate.
- the spherical aberration correction value and the focus target value interfere with each other. That is, when spherical aberration correction is performed, the optimum value of the focus target value varies. For example, assuming that the optimum value of the target value of the focus servo on the disc with the appropriate cover layer thickness is the center of the S-shaped signal, if the spherical aberration is corrected when recording / reproducing discs with different thicknesses, the focus target value Has an optimum value at a position shifted from the center of the S-shaped signal.
- FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the interference between the spherical aberration correction value and the focus target value in correcting the spherical aberration.
- Figure 10 shows the contour of the jitter value of the read signal with respect to the spherical aberration correction value and the focus target value, and X represents the optimum value (jitter best or system margin center value). Also, if the contour line is an axis object, there is no interference, but if the contour line extends in an oblique direction, it indicates that there is interference.

- This device changes the spherical aberration correction value and the focus target value independently, and searches for the optimum value two-dimensionally based on the tracking error amplitude that is the reference for correction.
- the spherical aberration correction element is driven from a certain initial value to obtain the optimum value A.
- This optimum value A is far from the true optimum value X if the initial focus target value is not appropriate.
- the focus target value is driven to obtain the optimum value B. That is, a two-dimensional search that searches in two directions is performed.
- Patent Document 2 As another conventional aberration correction apparatus, there is one disclosed in Patent Document 2. This device applies a disturbance to the spherical aberration correction value and the focus target value alternately or simultaneously, calculates the direction of change from the change in the reference signal, and searches for the optimum value in two dimensions.
- the device of Patent Document 2 is a method that attempts to reach the optimum value in the shortest path possible while detecting the direction approaching the optimum value (sensitivity analysis) as shown in Fig. 11. A dimension search is performed.

- the spherical aberration correction value CT and the focus target value FT where the characteristic value is the optimum value (for example, interpolation calculation, approximation calculation, multivariate analysis, etc.) and calculate Set spherical aberration correction value CT and focus target value FT as optimum values.
- the controller 90 selects the light transmission protective layer thickness D1 of the correction table 91 (see FIG. 2) (step S301), and reads the corresponding spherical aberration correction value CT1 and focus target value FT1. (Step S302). Controller 90 then sends spherical aberration correction value CT1 and focus target to spherical aberration correction control unit 80 and servo control unit 70. Each value FT1 is set (step S303).
- the servo control unit 70 drives the objective lens 11 by supplying a focus error signal and a drive signal corresponding to the set spherical convergence correction value CT 1 to the actuator in the optical pickup 10. Further, the spherical aberration correction controller 80 supplies a drive signal corresponding to the set spherical aberration correction value CT1 to the aberration correction unit 12 to drive it (step S304).
- the characteristic value detector 60 detects the characteristic value of the read signal input from the read signal detector 50 and supplies it to the controller 90 (step S305).
- the controller 90 stores the set spherical aberration correction value CT1, the focus target value FT1, and the characteristic value of the detected read signal as a data string (step S306).
- the controller 90 determines whether or not the parameter (e.g., the light transmission protection layer thickness (Dl, D5, D10, D15, DN)) has been changed (step S307). If it is determined that the change has not been completed (“No” in step S 307), the process returns to step S301, and the thickness D5 of the light transmission protective layer in the correction table 91 (see FIG. 2) is set.
- the parameter e.g., the light transmission protection layer thickness (Dl, D5, D10, D15, DN)
- step S307 the controller 90 determines whether or not the stored data string (spherical aberration correction value CT, focus target value FT, read signal characteristic value). No! Then, calculate the spherical aberration correction value and focus target value at which the characteristic value is the optimum value (for example, interpolation calculation, approximation calculation, multivariate analysis, etc.) (step S308), and calculate the spherical aberration correction value and focus target value.
- the controller 90 determines whether or not the stored data string (spherical aberration correction value CT, focus target value FT, read signal characteristic value). No! Then, calculate the spherical aberration correction value and focus target value at which the characteristic value is the optimum value (for example, interpolation calculation, approximation calculation, multivariate analysis, etc.) (step S308), and calculate the spherical aberration correction value and focus target value.
- the spherical aberration correction control unit 80 and the servo control unit 70 are set as optimum values
- the optimum value of the characteristic value of the read signal is not limited to the case where the characteristic value is minimum or maximum, but the allowable limit of deterioration of the read signal when the spherical aberration correction value and the focus target value are deviated.
- the so-called margin, away from force The central value may be selected.
- the present invention can be easily extended to an apparatus having a servo control mechanism including a tracking servo, a tilt servo, a sled servo, a spindle servo, etc. in addition to the focus servo control, and an optimum value search can be performed.
