Definitions
- the present invention provides a recording condition adjusting method, an optical disc apparatus, a reproducing method, and an information recording method for recording information on an optical disc medium for storing information by forming a recording mark having a physical property different from that of other portions on the recording medium. It relates to a recording method.
- optical disk media such as CD-R / RW, DVD-RAM, DVD ⁇ R / RW, and BD
- CD-R / RW compact disc-read only memory
- DVD-RAM digital versatile disk-read only memory
- DVD ⁇ R / RW digital versatile disk-read only memory
- BD Blu-ray Disc-read only memory
- BD Blu-ray Disc-read only memory
- high-performance drives compatible with BD will become widespread, and the appearance of optical disks with larger capacity is desired.
- Non-Patent Document 1 “Journal of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers CJ90-C, pp. 519 (2007)”, by using such a PRML method, the asymmetry of a reproduction signal and the thermal interference during recording are compensated. It has been shown that a high density equivalent to 35 GB capacity can be realized with a corresponding device.
- an automatic equalizer that minimizes the RMS error between the reproduction signal and the PRML target signal is mounted in order to obtain the best binarization result.
- the automatic equalizer is generally implemented as an FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter with a variable tap coefficient.
- the size of the recording mark is reduced compared to the size of the light spot, and the amplitude of the reproduced signal obtained is also reduced.
- the resolution of the light spot is determined by the wavelength ⁇ and the numerical aperture NA of the objective lens.
- the amplitude of the repetitive signal becomes zero. This is a phenomenon generally known as an optical cut-off. In BD, ⁇ / 4NA ⁇ 119 nm. If the track pitch is constant in BD, the amplitude of the 2T repetitive signal, which is the shortest run length, becomes zero when the capacity of about 31 GB or more is realized. In order to obtain good reproduction performance under such high density conditions, it is essential to use the PRML method.
- a recordable optical disk desired information is recorded by changing the crystal state of the recording film, etc., using a laser beam (hereinafter, a recording pulse) whose intensity has been modulated in a pulse shape.
- a recording pulse a phase change material, an organic dye, a certain kind of alloy or oxide is used, and is widely known.
- code information is determined by front and rear edge positions.
- the position and width of the first pulse that mainly determines the formation condition of the leading edge of the recording mark and the last pulse that mainly determines the formation condition of the trailing edge of the recording mark maintain the quality of the recorded information. Is important for. For this reason, in a recordable optical disk, an adaptive recording pulse that adaptively changes the position or width of the first pulse and the last pulse according to the length of the recording mark and the length of the preceding or following space. It is common to use.
- the recording condition the irradiation condition of the recording pulse (hereinafter referred to as recording condition) with higher accuracy than before.
- the shape of the light spot of the optical disk device varies depending on the wavelength of the light source, wavefront aberration, focus conditions, disk tilt, and the like.
- the impedance and quantum efficiency of the semiconductor laser change depending on the environmental temperature and changes over time, the shape of the recording pulse also changes.
- the adjustment technique for always obtaining the best recording conditions corresponding to the shape of the light spot and the shape of the recording pulse which vary from individual to individual and from environment to environment is generally called test writing. As recording density increases, the technology for adjusting recording conditions by trial writing becomes increasingly important.
- Recording condition adjustment technology can be broadly classified into two methods. One is a method using a bit error or byte error rate as an index, and the other is a method using a statistical index such as jitter.
- the former focuses on events that occur with a small probability for recorded data, and the latter focuses on the average quality of recorded data. For example, considering a write-once optical disc, if data is recorded / reproduced at multiple locations while changing the recording conditions, the former will cause a bit error or byte error if there is a fingerprint at the recorded location even under the best recording conditions. Because it grows larger, this cannot be selected. Since the best recording conditions should optimize the average quality of the recorded data, in storage systems such as optical disks where the effects of media defects, fingerprints, dust, etc. cannot be avoided. It can be said that the method using statistical indicators is superior.

- the SbER and the bit error rate are sufficiently small.
- the required performance (1) is a matter of course, but the required performance (2) is characteristically required in an optical disk system in which the disk medium is replaceable. It can be said that a recording condition adjusting method that does not satisfy at least two required performances is not suitable for a high-density optical disk system.
- FIG. 2 shows the experimental results summarizing the relationship between the recording power and the number of bit errors measured using a prototype three-layer write once optical disc sample.
- the recording material used for the prototype disc is a Ge-based compound thin film, the layer spacing of each layer is 14 ⁇ m and 18 ⁇ m, and the three-layer structure is used.
- the thickness of the transparent cover layer from the optical head to the innermost layer is 100 ⁇ m. did.
- the track pitch is 320 nm.
- the recording / reproducing conditions were such that the data transfer rate was twice that of BD, the detection window width 1T was about 56 nm, and the recording density was equivalent to 33 GB.
- the recording pulse a general multi-pulse type recording pulse modulated between three power levels (peak power, assist power, and bottom power) was used.
- an 8-bit A / D converter, a 21-tap automatic equalizer, and a PR (1, 2, 2, 2, 1) Viterbi decoder were used.
- the minimum value of the bit error rate was 10 ⁇ 5 or less for each layer.

- the figure summarizes bit errors when the recording power is changed with the ratio of the three powers being constant in the L0 layer.
- FIG. 3 is a simulation result summarizing the relationship between SNR and SbER.
- the impulse response obtained when the recording mark is reproduced by the linear diffraction simulator is obtained, and the reproduction signal when the recording is ideally performed is calculated by the convolution operation with the recording bit string.
- Noise was added as white noise, and SNR was determined as the ratio of the half-value amplitude of the 8T repetitive signal and the standard deviation of the noise.
- the bit error rate, SbER, and the like were calculated by processing this in a reproduction signal processing system using the PR (1, 2, 2, 2, 1) system.
- Patent Document 3 discloses an evaluation pattern in the case where the number of 2T continuations is two. Here, this is used by extending the number of 2T continuations to six (Hamming distance 1 to 7).
- the number of evaluation patterns is 18 per Hamming distance, the total number is 252.
- the value of SbER is almost constant at 2T continuous number 2 (Hamming distance 3) or more. Although this result seems to contradict the experimental result of FIG. 2, it is not so.
- the bit error rate is estimated in consideration of the existence probability of the evaluation pattern, and therefore the overall bit error rate can be estimated even when the number of consecutive 2Ts is 2 or less.

- 3 and 4 are defined as D values.
- the configuration of the reproduction signal processing system is as described above. The results are shown in FIG.
- This distribution is sometimes called a SAM distribution.
- the statistical probability when the distance difference is zero (left end) or negative corresponds to the bit error rate.
- the spread of the distribution increases with the same SNR as the recording density is improved. This indicates that the error rate increases corresponding to the improvement in recording density, and is a reasonable result.
- the filter characteristics obtained by the automatic equalizer are limited, the high frequency component of the reproduction signal increases in the pattern section where the number of continuous 2T included in the reproduction signal is large. Since it approaches the limit of the processing capacity of the automatic equalizer, it can be considered that the deviation from the ideal Euclidean distance becomes large.
- the phenomenon that the distribution peak value (or average value) of the Euclidean distance difference shifts to a smaller side than the ideal Euclidean distance due to the improvement of the recording density is a very important matter with respect to the recording condition adjusting technique. It should be noted that there is no description regarding this phenomenon in the above-mentioned publicly known documents.
- X is the level of the reproduced signal, likely state transition to the target signal level and 1-bit edge shift bit string (2nd against P A and P B are each binarized bit string (the most likely state transition sequence) Column), and d min is an ideal Euclidean distance corresponding to the edge shift.
- FIG. 3 shows that the correlation with SbER (or bit error rate) is not sufficient when focusing only on edge shift under high-density recording conditions.
- Patent Document 2 The method described in Patent Document 2 is also a method for obtaining an index of recording adjustment by paying attention only to edge shift, but by introducing a virtual 1T mark or space, Recording adjustment is also possible at a location where two 2Ts continue.
- SbER or bit error rate
- this method may not be sufficient in view of the required performance (1).
- Method described in Patent Document 5 The method described in Patent Document 5 selects the error bit string so as to satisfy the run length restriction, so that not only edge shift but also 2T shifts continuously. Is a method excellent in the correlation between the index and SbER (or bit error rate).
- the center value and the standard deviation are different depending on the difference in the Hamming distance. Therefore, according to the method described in Patent Document 5, it is necessary to shift the recording mark formation conditions so that the error probabilities (probability that the Euclidean distance difference is 0 or less) of the three distributions are equal.
- this method is an ideal method for adjusting the recording conditions of a high-density optical disc. In order to quantitatively consider this point, the above-described simulation was used.
- M 2 , M 3 and ⁇ 2 , ⁇ 3 are the average and standard deviation of the distribution of the Euclidean distance difference when the edge of interest is shifted 1 bit to the left and right, respectively.
- the two distributions were normalized by the ideal Euclidean distance to obtain the result of FIG.
- the edge shift Ec ′ in the time axis direction from the edge shift equivalent amount Ec is used. Can be calculated.
- FIG. 6 shows the distribution obtained by the simulation, and it is understood that the same result as that schematically shown in “FIG. 6 of Patent Document 5” is obtained.
- FIG. 7 shows the result of examining the value of Ec ′ when the SNR is changed. As can be seen from the figure, the value of Ec ′ changes greatly according to the change in SNR.
- the shape of the light spot and the SNR of the photoelectric conversion amplifier change for each individual or according to environmental conditions such as temperature.
- Non-Patent Document 2 based on the technique described in Patent Document 1, paying attention to edge shift, the average value of the distribution of the Euclidean distance difference becomes the ideal Euclidean distance.
- the technique to adjust is described. A method of adjusting this so that the average value of each distribution becomes the ideal Euclidean distance by applying this to the evaluation bit string shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 8 shows the result of experimental confirmation of this phenomenon. This is an experimental result obtained by carrying out a reproduction experiment while changing the reproduction power at L0 of the above-described prototype three-layer disc.
- the horizontal axis in the figure represents the reproduction power of 1.2 mW as 100%. Since the reproduction signal amplitude is proportional to the reproduction power, but the noise (amplifier noise) of the photodetector is constant, this experiment is a result of changing the SNR of the reproduction signal by changing the reproduction power.
- a recording adjustment area (trial writing area) is limited as in an optical disk medium, it is practical to search for a condition that minimizes SbER while randomly changing the recording condition. Is impossible. This is because information on the direction for bringing the edge of the mark to be recorded closer to the ideal state cannot be obtained.
- the conventional technique has both the adjustment performance and the guarantee of the medium compatibility. There was a problem that it was not enough.
- the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a novel evaluation index and method for recording adjustment that solves these problems, and to provide an optical disk apparatus using the same.
- the present invention aims to increase the capacity of 30 GB or more on the basis of the BD system, the following description will be made assuming that the shortest run length of the modulation code is 2T. Further, as described above, since SbER that handles 2T continuous numbers up to 2 from the experimental results agrees well with the bit error rate, the recording signal adjustment according to the present invention is performed on the premise of SbER as an index for evaluating the reproduction signal quality. The evaluation index will be described. Similar to SbER, if the index for statistically evaluating the reproduced signal quality based on the Euclidean distance between the target signal and the reproduced signal, or the index for directly evaluating the bit error rate, etc., the result of adjusting the recording conditions according to the present invention Gives good results.

- the second term of (Expression 6) is obtained by normalizing the Euclidean distance difference shown in FIG. 5 with the ideal Euclidean distance.
- xR is a component value of W in the TR direction and at the same time includes a term relating to the error probability of PRML.
- the equivalent edge shift xL can be calculated by (Equation D1) using the target L shifted to the left.
- the value of the equivalent edge shift changes for each edge to be measured.
- the equivalent edge shift is linearly added on the TR line segment, it is possible to evaluate the edge shift of the recording mark without depending on the SNR by obtaining the average value.
- the cause of this phenomenon is considered to be caused by the frequency characteristic of the filter obtained by the automatic equalizer being limited by the sampling theorem. Therefore, the change in average value that appears when the edge of interest is shifted to the left or right is the same. As shown in FIG. 5, the change in the average value of the distribution can be inferred from the fact that it can be classified according to the number of continuous 2Ts, that is, the Hamming distance.
- V-SEAT disclosed in Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for calculating a normalized sequence error by focusing only on edge shift (Hamming distance 1) and adding a code corresponding to left and right shift to perform addition averaging. is doing. For example, it is natural that the equivalent edge shift in the right direction is positive and the transparent edge shift in the left direction is negative. Applying this, calculating the left and right equivalent edge shifts for the edge of interest, and adding and averaging the codes corresponding to the shift direction as the evaluation value, the distribution of the Euclidean distance difference depending on the SNR The change dM in the average value can be canceled out.
- 10A and 10B are schematic diagrams illustrating equivalent edge shifts xL and xR with L and R as target signals.
- W coordinates are represented with T as the origin.
- Equation 9 means this and measurement.
- the line segment TR and the line segment TL do not ride on the geometric line.
- the angle ⁇ formed by the two is obtained by using the inner product of two vectors, and when both are errors of edge shift (Hamming distance 1) as shown in the figure, cos ⁇ is as follows.
- vector (T, L) and vector (T, R) represent the position vectors of L and R, respectively, and the “ ⁇ ” operator represents the inner product. If T is the most probable target signal and L and T are the second most probable (highest error probability) target signals, the extended edge shift D is set to zero from the viewpoint of the error rate in the PRML system. Thus, it can be said that it is reasonable to adjust the recording conditions. It can be said that the fact that the two target signals do not ride on the geometric line is a feature of the edge shift measurement in the PRML method.
- FIG. 11 summarizes the relationship between L, R, and cos ⁇ when the number of 2T repetitions is 2 (Hamming distance 1, 2, 3).
- the shift of the edge of interest can be measured by the average value ⁇ of the extended edge shift D or the difference ⁇ 2 between the average values of the L and R distributions.
- 12A-12D are simulation results showing the relationship between dEDL and dEDR.
- the simulation conditions are as described above, and are the results when a recording mark having a predetermined length is ideally recorded at a recording density corresponding to 33 GB / surface.
- the SNR was 20 dB.
- the Hamming distances are (a) (2, 2), (b) (2, 1) and (3, 1), (c) (1, 2) and (1 , 3), and (d) (1, 1) were used.
- each plot point generally shows a correlation along the broken line, and it can be seen that the fluctuation of the reproduced signal due to the influence of noise is generally symmetric with respect to the left shift and the right shift.
- FIGS. 12A-12D are simulation results showing the relationship between the average value of dEDL and dEDR and the extended edge shift D.
- FIG. Simulation conditions are the same as in FIGS. 12A-12D. Again, each of the four cases of (a) Tsfp (2s, 2m), (b) Tsfp (2s, 3m), (c) Tsfp (3s, 2m), and (d) Tsfp (3s, 3m) Edge results are shown.
- the distribution of the average values of dEDL and dEDR is (1) the spread is greatly different for each edge pattern, and (2) the ideal Euclidean distance difference is shifted to a side smaller than 1 as a result of FIG. Is reflected.
- the distribution of the extended edge shift D does not depend on the edge pattern, (1) the distribution spread is almost uniform, and (2) the center of the distribution is almost zero. In the figure, these differences are represented by a schematic distribution shape.
- These two effects obtained by the introduction of the extended edge shift D are (1) that the shift of the reproduction signal is calculated as an inner product value with the vector TR or the vector TL by the equivalent edge shift, and (2 This is because the left and right equivalent edge shifts are averaged by adding a sign.
- FIG. 14 A summary of the effects of the present invention is shown in FIG. This figure is obtained by adding the average value ⁇ of the extended edge shift defined in (Equation D5) to the relationship between Ec ′ (the method of Patent Document 5) and SNR shown in FIG. Since an optical disk device is a device that handles portable media, it is necessary to be able to record on an unspecified number of media under similar recording conditions. However, the SNR of information that is actually recorded varies depending on the operating environment of the optical disc apparatus and the machine condition. In the case of the conventional method, as shown in FIG. 14, the Ec ′ value changes greatly according to the change of the SNR. This is the ideal recording signal and the recording signal actually recorded on the recording medium. (In FIG.
- the edge shift amount is evaluated as an index) means that it fluctuates in accordance with the operation condition (SNR) of the optical disk apparatus.
- SNR operation condition
- the ⁇ value of the present invention does not depend on the change in SNR and is almost zero and constant, which means that recording can be performed under the same conditions even when the operation condition of the optical disk fluctuates.
- random noise is added to the signal when a recording mark of a predetermined length is ideally recorded.
- the edge shift evaluation value ⁇ is almost equal.
- the measurement result of zero is very excellent from the viewpoint of the playback compatibility of recorded data. This is the second effect of the present invention.
- bit error rate is evaluated by these combined standard deviations ⁇ LR . Therefore,
- the right side is twice the value of the L-SEAT jitter shown in (Equation D6).
- the coefficient 2 shown here is not essential.
- L-SEAT the jitter caused by a conventional time interval analyzer is used. Similar to the measurement, this is a coefficient generated when the error margin is ⁇ 1 / 2T.
- the error rate values by the error function when both are Gaussian distributions are equal. It can be seen that the L-SEAT jitter represents a combined standard deviation when the Euclidean distance difference distributions shown in FIG.
- L-SEAT jitter is an evaluation index having a good correlation with SbER and bit error rate. More specifically, as can be seen from (Equation D4), the SNR factor by definition has the same value as the amount by which the distribution of the Euclidean distance difference deviates from the ideal value 1 depending on the SNR and recording density. Therefore, the contribution of the SNR factor in the L-SEAT jitter defined in (Equation D6) takes into account the deviation of the average value of the Euclidean distance difference distribution. As described above, in the L-SEAT of the present invention, the component corresponding to the edge shift of interest (extended edge shift) and the component dependent on SNR (SNR factor) can be separated and evaluated.
- the L-SEAT of the present invention is compared with the conventional recording adjustment signal evaluation indexes including the V-SEAT disclosed in Patent Document 2 and the conventional reproduction signal quality evaluation indexes such as jitter and SbER. And is an excellent signal evaluation index. Therefore, the present invention provides an unprecedented superior signal evaluation index, which is the third effect obtained by the present invention. Experimental verification on this point will be described later along with experimental results.

- the same method can be applied to radial tilt, tangential tilt, spherical aberration, and various adjustments. By such a method, step S103 of FIG. 40 can be performed.
- the length of the 2T mark or space is smaller than the size of the light spot (about 500 nm, wavelength 405 nm, NA 0.85). Since it becomes as small as about 100 nm, the influence of thermal interference between adjacent marks is increased. In particular, in a multi-layer disc, it is impossible to secure a sufficient thickness of the metal reflection film, which is a thermal buffer, from the viewpoint of obtaining good transmittance.
- the pattern having the largest thermal interference is a pattern in which the 2T mark and the 2T space are continuous. As described above, this is also the pattern with the highest error frequency under high-density recording conditions. Therefore, when the 2T mark and the 2T space are continuous, it is effective to expand the adaptive recording pulse table by considering this as one preceding pattern.

Abstract
Description
(1)非特許文献2に記載の方法
非特許文献2では,特許文献1に記載の技術に基づいて,エッジシフトに注目して,ユークリッド距離差の分布の平均値が,理想ユークリッド距離となるように調整する技術が記載されている。「非特許文献2の式(1)」では,特定のエッジのシフト量MDは以下として定義される。
(2)特許文献2に記載の方法
特許文献2に記載の方法も,エッジシフトだけに注目して記録調整の指標を得る方法であるが,仮想的な1Tマークやスペースを導入することによって,2Tが2個連続する箇所についても,記録調整が可能である。しかしながら,上と同様に,エッジシフトのみに注目することから,SbER(またはビットエラー率)との相関が良好とは言えないため,本方法も要求性能(1)に照らして十分ではないことが判る。
(3)特許文献5に記載の方法
特許文献5に記載の方法は,誤ビット列についてもラン長制限を満たすように選択しているため,エッジシフトだけでなく2Tが連続してシフトするケースについても,指標とSbER(またはビットエラー率)との相関に優れた方法である。本方法では「特許文献5の図3」に示されるように,2Tマークを含む記録条件を調整するために,注目するマークエッジが左側にシフトする場合と右側にシフトする場合とで,評価する誤ビット列と正ビット列とのハミング距離が異なる。例えば,非特許文献2の表記に従って,Tsfp(3s,2m)について見てみると,記載されるビット列は以下である。
(4)従来技術の組み合わせによる方法
非特許文献2では,特許文献1に記載の技術に基づいて,エッジシフトに注目して,ユークリッド距離差の分布の平均値が,理想ユークリッド距離となるように調整する技術が記載されている。これを「特許文献5の図3」に示される評価ビット列に適応して,各分布の平均値が理想ユークリッド距離となるように調整する方法が容易に類推される。しかしながら,図5に示したように,記録密度を高めると各分布の平均値が理想ユークリッド距離から小さくなる方向にずれてしまう。同様にSNRに応じても各分布の平均値は変化する。図8はこの現象を実験的に確かめた結果を示すものである。これは,前述の試作3層ディスクのL0において,再生パワーを変化させながら再生実験を実施して得た実験結果である。図の横軸は再生パワー1.2mWを100%として表したものである。再生信号振幅は再生パワーに比例するが光検出器のノイズ(アンプノイズ)は一定であるため,本実験は,再生パワーを変化させることによって再生信号のSNRを変化させた結果である。図に見られるように,各分布の平均値は理想ユークリッド距離(=1)よりも小さく,かつ再生パワーが小さくなるのに応じて小さくなることが判る。この方法についても,ドライブ装置の状態によるSNRの違いが,記録調整に用いる指標に影響してしまうことは明らかである。
(5)SbERを最小とする方法
図4に示したように,33GB/面の実験においてSbERはビットエラー率と良好な相関を示す。したがって,記録調整のための評価指標を用いずに,記録条件の全ての組み合わせに対して,記録再生を行い最小のSbERが得られる条件を選択する方法が考えられる。しかしながら,光ディスク媒体のように,記録調整用の領域(試し書きエリア)の大きさが限られている場合,無作為に記録条件を変化させながら,SbERが最小になる条件を検索することは実質的に不可能である。なぜなら,記録するマークのエッジを理想的な状態に近づけるための方向に対する情報を得ることができないためである。上に示した従来の技術のように,記録パルスの各パラメータに応じて,それぞれ独立に目標値からのずれを定量化できる方法でなければ,光ディスク装置に応用して試し書きを実施可能な方法とはならない。また,ディスクの試作を繰り返しながら,その性能向上を図るような場合においても,短時間で記録条件の調整が完了することが望まれる。この意味においても,前述の要求性能(1)と(2)を満たし,かつ記録パラメータに応じてそれぞれ独立に調整が可能となる新規な記録調整のための指標とその調整方法が望まれていた。
(課題1)調整結果に基づいて記録したデータの再生互換性について
SNRの変化に依存せずに調整目標点が一定となる評価指標と調整方法である必要がある。
(課題2)調整結果に基づいて記録したデータの品質について
SbERが十分に小さいことを保証するためには,少なくとも連続する2Tの数が2個までの評価ビット列が,SbERの評価ビット列と一致,もしくは実質的に一致する必要がある。
(課題3)短時間での記録調整の実現に関して
記録パルスの条件,もしくは適応型記録パルスの各パラメータに対応して,それぞれ独立に評価可能な評価指標と調整方法である必要がある。
前述のように,記録調整用の評価指標ではSNRの変化に依存せずにエッジシフトの評価指標が一定である必要がある。各ユークリッド距離差の分布はSNRに応じて平均値が変化する。W,T,L,Rは複数の時刻t(t=t0+1,t0+2,t0+3,t0+4,t0+5)に対する信号レベルであるので,これを多次元空間の座標として考えてみる。簡単のため,ハミング距離1の右シフト誤りついて考えると,PR(1,2,2,2,1)方式では,T(T1,T2,T3,T4,T5),W(T1+δ1,T2+δ2,T3+δ3,T4+δ4,T5+δ5),R(T1+1,T2+2,T3+2,T4+2,T5+1)とすることができる。さらに,この5次元空間の原点をTとする座標系を考えると,W,Rの位置ベクトル(=座標)を改めてW,Rとすると,W(δ1,δ2,δ3,δ4,δ5),R(1,2,2,2,1)となる。T,L,Rを含む平面におけるこれらの関係を摸式的に図9Aに示す。図においてx軸は線分TRの方向に取っており,点Rが1となるように規格化している。また,y軸はx軸に直行する方向としているため,Wの値によってy軸は変化するものであって一定の方向を示すものではないことに注意されたい。W,T,Rに関するユークリッド距離には以下の関係がある。
図ではLとRの1時刻分のずれを考慮して,t(t=t0,t0+1,t0+2,t0+3,t0+4,t0+5)の6次元に対するL,R,Wの座標をTを原点として表している。
物理的に記録されたマークのエッジシフトxは,1T右側の点Rからの距離(=1-x),と1T左側の点Lからの距離(=1+x)を用いて,x={(1-x)+(1+x)}/2で求められる。(式9)は,これと計量を意味している。一方,W,T,L,R間のユークリッド距離に関しては,L,Rに時刻ずれがあることから,線分TRと線分TLは幾何的な直線上には乗らない。両者のなす角度θは2つのベクトルの内積を用いて求められ,図のように両者がエッジシフト(ハミング距離1)のエラーである場合,cosθは以下となる。
(課題2)調整結果に基づいて記録したデータの品質について
本発明による記録条件の調整の結果,SbERが十分に小さい必要がある。これを実現するためには,記録パルスの調整によってdEDLとdEDRが最小になり,かつT,L,Rの評価ビット列とSbERの評価ビット列が実質的に等価である必要がある。
図15は,拘束長5のPR(1,2,2,2,1)方式に対応した評価ビット列の例であり,同様なものは特許文献4に記載されている。図に見られるように,拘束長5のPRML方式を用い,PRMLデコーダ2値化ビット列の中から評価ビット列を検索・抽出して再生信号の品質評価を実施する場合,ハミング距離ごとに18組で合計54組,すなわち108個の評価ビット列が列挙される。再生信号の評価を行う場合,これらの評価ビット列の検索・抽出処理を並行して実施する必要がある。
(課題3)短時間での記録調整の実現に関して
記録パルスの条件,もしくは適応型記録パルスの各パラメータに対応して,それぞれ独立に評価可能な評価指標と調整方法を提供する必要がある。一般の光ディスク装置としては,単一の規格だけに対応するだけでなく,CD,DVD,BD,あるいはBDを基本とした高密度の光ディスクについても,同様に対応する必要がある。これらの規格に応じて,適応型記録パルスはそれぞれ異なるものである。また,記録調整のための評価指標としても,タイム・インターバル・アナライザーで測定する時間軸方向のエッジシフトおよびジッター,V-SEAT,本発明のL-SEAT等,それぞれに適したものを使うことが望まれる。これを実現するためには,先ず,記録調整用のパラメータ・テーブルとして選択すればよい。その上で,再生信号の各エッジごとにそのエッジシフトやSNRファクタのような評価値を算出する回路を前段に配置することによって,包括的な対応が可能になる。こうした,記録条件の調整用の回路のブロック構成の例を図22に示す。図において,光ディスク媒体から再生され,図示しないアナログフィルター処理を施された再生信号51はA/D変換器21によって6から8ビットのデジタル・データに変換され,自動等化器22によって等化された後PRMLデコーダ23によって2値化され,2値化ビット列52が出力される。記録条件調整用の信号品質の評価回路30はエッジ品質評価回路40,41,42,とセレクタ60,及び記録パルス品質評価テーブル35,およびタイミング調整器36から構成される。エッジ品質評価回路40はエッジごとにCD/DVD用の時間軸方向のエッジシフトの評価を行い,エッジ品質評価回路41はBD用にV-SEATの評価を行い,エッジ品質評価回路42は高密度BD用にL-SEATの評価を行う。各エッジ品質評価回路ではエッジごとにエッジシフト量,あるいは拡張エッジシフトやSNRファクタの算出を行う。セレクタ60では記録再生を行うディスクの種別に対応して,エッジ品質評価回路の出力を選択する。記録パルス品質評価テーブル35では,2値化ビット列52と,エッジ品質評価回路から出力されたエッジの評価指標を同期して,適応型記録パルスに応じたパターンの仕分けを行い,4x4テーブル等に分離して,各テーブル要素ごとに平均値や標準偏差の算出を行う。CPU140ではこの結果を参照しながら,適応型記録パルスの各パラメータの調整処理を実施する。以上の構成によって,複数の光ディスク媒体に対応した適応型記録パルスのパラメータ調整が可能になる。こうした構成によって,複数の適応型記録パルスのパラメータを並列して調整することが可能となり,単一の再生信号品質の評価指標を用いた方法に比較して,短時間の内に,かつ限られた試し書き領域を用いて記録パルスの条件調整が実施できる。
本発明の他の目的、特徴及び利点は添付図面に関する以下の本発明の実施例の記載から明らかになるであろう。
上記記載は実施例についてなされたが、本発明はそれに限らず、本発明の精神と添付の請求の範囲の範囲内で種々の変更および修正をすることができることは当業者に明らかである。
