A new tracking error detection method using amplitude difference detection for signal waveform modulation multi-level discs

The sub-land/sub-pit affects the characteristic of the tracking error signal which is generated by the conventional differential phase detection (DPD) method in the signal waveform modulation multi-level (SWML) read-only disc. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a new tracking error detection method using amplitude difference. Based on the diffraction theory, the amplitude difference is proportional to the tracking error and is feasible to be used for obtaining the off-track information. The experimental system of the amplitude difference detection method is developed. The experimental results show that the tracking error signal derived from the new method has better performance in uniformity and signal-to-noise ratio than that derived from the conventional DPD method in the SWML read-only disc.     

Experiments of Multi-Level Read-Only Recording Using Readout Signal Wave-Shape Modulation

An innovative multilevel read-only recording method is proposed. In this method, a short pit/land is deliberately inserted to the original land/pit. This modifies the wave-shape of readout signM. Taking the wave-shape as the symbol of level detection, a signal wave-shape modulation （SWSM） multilevel method is realized. This method is carried out and validated on the DVD read-only manufacture and readout system. A capacity of 15 GB can be expected, and a bit error rate of 10-4 is achieved. The capacity can meet the demand of high definition movie publication. This method also provides a potential multi-level solution for other storage formats and systems.     

Pit Depth and Width Modulation Multilevel Run-Length Limited Read-Only Optical Storage

When the techniques of integrating the variation of the conventional DVD,the high-density multilevel run-length pit depth and width simultaneously are adopted to limited read-only optical storage method is achieved. The dynamic range of readout signal is greatly enlarged in comparison with keeping one parameter varied, and the recording levels number can be obviously increased. The discs can be manufactured using standard photoresist mastering and replication techniques with great compatibility to conventional binary read-only discs. Experimental results show that eight-level read-only optical disc can be realized and the capacity can be increased to 20 GB.

Approximated Vector Diffraction Theory for Readout Signal of Multi-Level Run-Length-Limited Discs

Multi-level run-length-limited read-only optical storage is a kind of high density storage method. The width and height of recording marks are varied with different levels, which is the key technology for the optical storage. Then the readout signal of these discs with complex recording marks is computed by vector analysis method, it is very hard and time-consuming. Approximated vector computation combines the convenience of scalar method and precision of vector method, which is effective for multi-level run-length-limited read-only optical storage.     

Effect of amplitude modulation on the read-out signal in an optical disc system with a residual aberration

We conducted a numerical calculation for the point spread function and the variation of the read-out signal in optical disc systems using several apodizing filters, taking into account a spherical aberration and the variation in the bump shape. Based on calculations using the scalar diffraction theory, we are able to determine the best bump size and shape giving the maximum read-out signal for each incident beam modulated by an apodizing filter. This work facilitates the fabrication of high density optical disc systems with a spherical aberration and can then be applied to a real optical disc system like a commercial digital video disc (DVD) system.

An Advanced Signal Processing Technique Designed for Multilevel Signal Optical Disc System

We propose a novel signal processing technique by which we can increase the effective signal to noise ratio of optical discs. This technique is capable of reducing the influence of random noise even when the playback signal contains a distortion. We apply this signal processing technique to single carrier independent pit edge recording optical disc system. When a linear recording density of 0.2 μm/bit and a track pitch of 0.8 μm for an optical pickup is used in a DVD pickup (γ =635 nm, NA=0.6), the experimental results show that the system can obtain tangential and radial skew margins of ±0.5° and ±0.75°, respectively. From the experimental results, we estimate that the proposed method is capable of increasing the capacity of DVD by a factor of about 1.2.     

Movement dynamics analysis for an optical pickup head lens actuator in a digital versatile disc system

With the rapid development of CD/DVD(compact disc/digital versatile disc)technology,the disc rotation speed and the information density have increased greatly to fulfil the demand of high informatiopn bit rate transfer,As one of the most important elements in a DVD pickup head,objective lens actuators are required to provide a more precise means to accurately follow the disc deviation.The design of the lens actuator becomes all the more important and critical.In order to give complete suggestion to the design of the lens actuator,we put forward the movement differnetial equations as a new theoretical means to analyse the characteristics of the lens actuator reliably and rigorously.Based on the theoretical analyses,many important and effective methods are propsed.A typical experiment verifies that the performance of our lens actuator head,which adopts these methods,can satisfy the high speed and high density requirement of DVD systems.     

Improved partial response maximum likelihood method combining modulation code for signal waveform modulation multi-level disc

In this paper, we describe an improved adaptive partial response maximum likelihood （PRML） method combining modulation code tbr signal waveform modulation multi-level disc. This improved adaptive PRML method employs partial response equalizer and adaptive viterbi detector combining modulation code. Compared with the traditional adaptive PRML detector, the improved PRML detector additionally employs illogical sequence detector and corrector. Illogical sequence detector and corrector can aw）id the appearance of illogical sequences effectively, which do not follow the law of modulation code for signal waveform modulation multi-level disc, and obtain the correct sequences. We implement the improved PRML detector using a DSP and an FPGA chip. The experimental results show good performance. The higher efficient and lower complexity can be obtained by using the improved PRML method than by using the previous PRML method. Meanwhile, resource utilization of the improved PRML detector is not changed, but the bit error rate （BER） is reduced by more than 20%.     

Simulation of Differential Phase Detection Method Combined with Astigmatic Method using a Half Mirror in an Optical Pick-up

In an error detection optical system for optical pick-ups using a parallel plane type half mirror, influence on the differential phase detection (DPD) signal by a coma aberration was simulated. The coma aberration deforms the spot profile on the photodetector and influences the DPD signal level characteristics and the offset characteristics with respect to the objective lens shift. In the 4-segment-type DPD, the coma aberration caused by a half mirror 2.75 mm thick hardly affects the DPD signal if the photodetector is not misaligned. On the other hand, the 2-segment-type DPD has a small offset variation with respect to the objective lens shift and a large variation of the DPD signal level against the misalignment of the photodetector in comparison with the 4-segment-type DPD when there is no coma aberration. In the presence of a coma aberration, however, these variations of the 2-segment-type DPD are suppressed by choosing a pair of elements without the coma apex part of the spot.

Sb-Bi alloy flms are proposed as a new kind of super-resolution mask layer with low readout threshold power. Using the Sb-Bi alloy film as a mask layer and SiN as a protective layer in a read-only memory disc, the superresolution pits with diameters of 380 nm are read out by a dynamic setup, the laser wavelength is 780 nm and the numerical aperture of pickup lens is 0.45.

The super-resolution mechanism of the Sb-Bi alloy mask layer is discussed based on its temperature dependence of reflection.
