【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、多層記録媒体に記録再生を行う光記録再生装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、光ディスク等の光記録媒体の記録層を多層化して高密度化する試みがなされている。
特許文献1には、光ディスクの複数の記録層への情報の記録、消去又は再生を行う光記録再生装置において、所定情報を複数の記録層のトラックに異なる条件で試験的に複数記録する試験記録手段と、いずれかの記録層のトラックから再生された所定情報を示す再生信号を検出する再生信号検出手段と、所定の記録層上の情報トラックに対して、前記試験記録手段により所定情報を複数記録するとともに前記再生信号手段によりこれら所定情報を示す再生信号をそれぞれ検出し、これら再生信号に基づいて前記情報トラックに対する記録、消去又は再生条件を選択する試し書き手段と、この試し書き手段により、各記録層上の情報トラックに対する記録等の条件を選択し、これらの条件に基づいて各記録層上の情報トラックに対して情報の記録等を行う制御手段とを備えて、各記録層に適切な光パワーで記録、消去又は再生できる光記録再生装置が開示されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、記録層が多い場合には、光ビーム照射側から最も遠い記録層に記録するための光パワーは、光ビーム照射側に最も近い記録層に記録するための光パワーの数倍以上が必要となるため、このような光パワーを出力させる半導体レーザやこれを駆動するための駆動回路に大幅な負荷がかかり、最適記録が行えないといった不具合を生じることがある。
また、記録に必要な光パワーが半導体レーザの出力限界を超えてしまうといった問題も生じる。
【0005】
例えば、2層の記録層を有する次世代高密度光ディスクの場合には、光ビーム照射側から遠い2層目の記録層に記録するための光パワーは、光ビーム照射側に近い1層目の記録層に記録する光パワーの2倍を必要とする。2層以上の場合には、光ビーム照射側から最も遠い記録層に記録するためには、更に大きな光パワーが必要とされる。
【0006】
そこで、本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、複数の記録層を有する光ディスクへの記録を行う際、半導体レーザやこれを駆動するための駆動回路への負荷を低減する光記録再生装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明における第1の発明は、複数の記録層を有する光ディスクへの記録再生を行う光ディスク記録再生装置において、前記複数の記録層への記録再生を行う、少なくとも半導体レーザを備えた光ピックアップと、前記光ピックアップで検出された検出信号からウォブル周波数を検出するウォブル検出手段と、前記ウォブル周波数に基づいて、前記複数の記録層への全ての記録が一定線速度となるように設定して前記光ディスクの回転制御を行う信号を出力する回転制御手段と、前記ウォブル周波数に基づいて、前記光ピックアップに近い側の記録層に記録する程速い記録クロックを出力するクロック生成手段と、前記ウォブル周波数に基づいて、各記録層毎の記録再生条件を設定する記録再生条件設定手段と、前記記録再生条件と前記記録クロックに基づいて、記録再生制御信号を出力する記録再生制御手段と、前記記録再生制御信号に基づいて、前記光ピックアップ内の半導体レーザを駆動させる信号を出力するレーザ駆動手段と、からなることを特徴とする光記録再生装置を提供する。
第2の発明は、複数の記録層を有する光ディスクへの記録再生を行う光ディスク記録再生装置において、前記複数の記録層への記録再生を行う、少なくとも半導体レーザを備えた光ピックアップと、前記光ピックアップで検出された検出信号からウォブル周波数を検出するウォブル検出手段と、前記ウォブル周波数に基づいて、前記光ピックアップに近い側の記録層に記録する程速い線速度となるように設定して前記光ディスクの回転制御信号を出力する回転制御手段と、前記ウォブル周波数に基づいて、線速度に比例して速く、かつ各記録層に最短記録マークが形成できる記録クロックを出力するクロック生成手段と、前記ウォブル周波数により、前記複数の記録層のうち記録する記録層がいずれであるかを判定し、その判定された記録層の記録再生条件を設定する記録再生条件設定手段と、前記記録再生条件と前記記録クロックに基づいて、記録再生制御信号を出力する記録再生制御手段と、前記記録再生制御信号に基づいて、前記光ピックアップ内の半導体レーザを駆動させる信号を出力するレーザ駆動手段と、からなることを特徴とする光記録再生装置を提供する。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の光記録再生装置について、図1及び図2を用いて説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施形態の光記録再生装置を示すブロック図である。
図2は、各記録層への光パワーとの関係を示す図である。
【0009】
図1に示すように、本発明の実施形態の光記録再生装置1は、複数の記録層を有する光ディスク2への記録再生を行う、少なくとも半導体レーザを含む光ピックアップ3と、この光ピックアップ3で検出された複数の記録層の記録再生信号からウォブル周波数を検出するウォブル検出回路4と、ウォブル検出回路4で検出されたウォブル周波数と線速度との相関テーブルを有し、複数の記録層への全ての記録が一定線速度となるように設定して、光ディスク2の回転制御信号を出力する回転制御回路5と、ウォブル検出回路4で検出されたウォブル周波数と記録クロックとの相関テーブルを有し、このウォブル周波数に基づいて、光ピックアップ3に近い側の記録層に記録する程速い記録クロックを出力するクロック生成回路6と、からなる。
【0010】
更に、複数の記録層構成及び記録クロックにより決められる各記録層毎の記録パワーや記録パルス幅等の記録再生条件を設定する記録再生条件設定回路7と、クロック生成回路6から出力される記録クロックと記録再生条件設定回路7により設定されている記録再生条件に基づいて、記録再生制御信号を出力する記録再生制御回路8と、記録再生制御回路8から出力される記録再生制御信号に基づいて、光ピックアップ3内の半導体レーザを駆動させる信号を出力するレーザ駆動回路9と、からなる。
【0011】
一定線速度の場合には、記録クロックを遅くすると、記録に必要な光ビームパワーを小さくできる。このことを利用すると、複数の記録層の全てについて一定線速度で、かつ光ピックアップ3からの距離が遠い記録層ほど遅い記録クロックで記録する場合には、複数の記録層の全てについて一定線速度で、かつ同一記録クロックで記録する場合に比較して、光ピックアップ3から遠い記録層への記録を小さい光パワーで行うことができる。
【0012】
言い換えると、図2に示す通りになる。
図2中、Aは、複数の記録層の全てについて一定線速度で、かつ光ピックアップ3からの距離が遠い記録層ほど遅い記録クロックで記録した場合を示し、Bは、複数の記録層の全てについて一定線速度で、かつ光ピックアップ3からの距離に無関係に一定記録クロックで記録した場合を示している。記録層は、光ピックアップからの距離が近い方から順にLn、Ln−1、…、L1、L0である。
【0013】
図2から明らかなように、Aは、Bに比較して、光ピックアップ3からの距離に対する記録層位置での光パワー依存性が小さくなっている。
この結果、Aの条件で記録層への記録を行うと、光ピックアップ3に最も近い記録層と最も遠い記録層とで大きな光パワー差を生じることがないので、光ピックアップ3内の半導体レーザやこれを駆動するための駆動回路への負荷を低減することができる。
【0014】
次に、その動作について説明する。
最初に記録する場合について説明する。
回転制御回路5から回転制御信号を出力して光ディスク2を回転させる。
次に、記録再生条件設定回路7から出力される所定の記録条件に基づいて、記録再生制御回路8から記録制御信号を出力し、この記録制御信号に基づいてレーザ駆動回路9を駆動し、光ピックアップ3内の半導体レーザを駆動させて光ディスク2における所定の記録層のトラックを照射する。そして、この光ディスク2からの戻り光からウォブル検出回路4によりウォブル周波数を検出する。このウォブル周波数に基づいて回転制御回路5、クロック生成回路6及び記録再生条件設定回路7に出力する。
【0015】
次に、回転制御回路5では、一定線速度となるようにウォブル周波数を設定して光ディスク2の回転制御を行う信号を出力する。
クロック生成回路6では、光ピックアップ3に近い側の記録層に記録する程速い記録クロックを記録再生制御回路8に出力する。記録再生条件設定回路7では、所定の記録層のウォブル周波数に基づいた記録条件を設定して記録信号として記録再生制御回路8に出力する。
【0016】
更に、記録再生制御回路8から出力された記録信号とクロック生成回路6から出力された記録クロックとに基づいて、レーザ駆動回路9に記録制御信号を出力する。レーザ駆動回路9からは、この記録制御信号に基づいた駆動信号を光ピックアップ3内の半導体レーザ及びウォブル検出回路4に出力して、光ディスク2のトラックに記録を行う。
再生する場合についても同様であるので、その説明を省略する。
【0017】
以上のように、本発明の実施形態によれば、複数の記録層の全ての記録が線速度一定となるように設定して光ディスク2の回転制御信号を出力する回転制御回路5と、光ピックアップ3に近い側の記録層に記録する程速い記録クロックを出力するクロック生成回路6とを有しているので、複数の記録層を有する光ディスク2の記録を行う際、半導体レーザやこれを駆動するための駆動回路への負荷を低減する光記録再生装置1が得られる。
【0018】
次に、本発明の実施形態の変形例について図1を用いて説明する。
本発明の実施形態の変形例は、実施形態において、回転制御回路5がウォブル検出回路4で検出されたウォブル周波数と線速度との相関テーブルを有し、光ピックアップ3に近い側の記録層に記録する程速い線速度となるようにウォブル周波数を設定して光ディスク2の回転制御信号を出力するものであり、クロック生成回路6がウォブル検出回路4で検出されたウォブル周波数と記録クロックとの相関テーブルを有し、各記録層毎の線速度に比例し、かつ各記録層に記録する同一の最短記録マークが形成できる記録クロックを出力するものである。更に、記録再生条件設定回路7は、記録層構成及び記録クロック及び線速度により決められる各記録層毎の記録パワーや記録パルス幅等の記録再生条件を設定するものである。これ以外は実施形態と同様である。
【0019】
各記録層に形成される最短記録マークが同一であれば線速度を遅くすると記録に必要な光パワーを小さくできる。このことを利用すると、複数の記録層の全てについて一定記録密度で、かつ光ピックアップ3からの距離が遠い記録層ほど遅い記録クロックで記録する場合には、複数の記録層の全てについて一定線速度で、かつ同一記録クロックで記録する場合に比較して、光ピックアップ3から遠い記録層の記録を小さい光パワーで行うことができる。
この場合の記録再生動作は、本発明の実施形態と同様であるので説明を省略する。
【0020】
以上のように、本発明の実施形態の変形例によれば、ウォブル検出回路4で検出されたウォブル周波数と線速度との相関テーブルを有し、光ピックアップ3に近い側の記録層に記録する程速い線速度となるように設定して光ディスク2の回転制御信号を出力する回転制御回路5と、ウォブル検出回路4で検出されたウォブル周波数と記録クロックとの相関テーブルを有し、各記録層毎の線速度に比例し、かつ各記録層に記録する同一の最短記録マークが形成できる記録クロックを出力するクロック生成回路6と、記録層構成及び記録クロック及び線速度により決められる各記録層毎の記録パワーや記録パルス幅等の記録再生条件を設定する記録再生条件設定回路7とを有しているので、本発明の実施形態同様に複数の記録層を有する光ディスク2の記録を行う際、半導体レーザやこれを駆動するための駆動回路への負荷を低減する光記録再生装置1が得られる。
【0021】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、本発明によれば、複数の記録層を有する光ディスクへの記録を行う際、各記録層の線速度が一定の場合には、光ピックアップに近い側の記録層に記録する程速い記録クロックで、また、各記録層毎に線速度を決めた場合には、光ピックアップに近い側の記録層に記録する程速い線速度の記録クロックで記録するようにしているので、半導体レーザやこれを駆動するための駆動回路への負荷を低減する光記録再生装置を得ることができる。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when there are many recording layers, the light power for recording on the recording layer farthest from the light beam irradiation side needs to be several times or more the light power for recording on the recording layer closest to the light beam irradiation side. Therefore, a large load is applied to a semiconductor laser for outputting such optical power and a driving circuit for driving the semiconductor laser, which may cause a problem that optimal recording cannot be performed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an optical recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an optical recording / reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the optical power applied to each recording layer.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 1, an optical recording / reproducing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention performs recording and reproduction on an optical disk 2 having a plurality of recording layers, and includes an optical pickup 3 including at least a semiconductor laser. It has a wobble detection circuit 4 for detecting a wobble frequency from the detected recording / reproducing signals of the plurality of recording layers, and a correlation table between the wobble frequency and the linear velocity detected by the wobble detection circuit 4. It has a rotation control circuit 5 for setting all recordings to have a constant linear velocity and outputting a rotation control signal for the optical disc 2, and a correlation table between the wobble frequency detected by the wobble detection circuit 4 and the recording clock. A clock generation circuit 6 which outputs a recording clock which is faster as recording is performed on a recording layer closer to the optical pickup 3 based on the wobble frequency.
[0010]
Further, a recording / reproduction condition setting circuit 7 for setting recording / reproduction conditions such as a recording power and a recording pulse width for each recording layer determined by a plurality of recording layer configurations and recording clocks, and a recording clock output from the clock generation circuit 6 A recording / reproduction control circuit 8 for outputting a recording / reproduction control signal based on the recording / reproduction conditions set by the recording / reproduction condition setting circuit 7, and a recording / reproduction control signal output from the recording / reproduction control circuit 8 A laser drive circuit 9 for outputting a signal for driving the semiconductor laser in the optical pickup 3.
[0011]
In the case of a constant linear velocity, the light beam power required for recording can be reduced by slowing down the recording clock. By utilizing this fact, when recording is performed at a constant linear velocity for all of the plurality of recording layers and at a slower recording clock for a recording layer farther from the optical pickup 3, a constant linear velocity is applied to all of the plurality of recording layers. As compared with the case where recording is performed with the same recording clock, recording on a recording layer far from the optical pickup 3 can be performed with a small optical power.
[0012]
In other words, it is as shown in FIG.
In FIG. 2, A shows a case where recording is performed at a constant linear velocity for all of the plurality of recording layers and a recording clock which is farther from the optical pickup 3 with a slower recording clock, and B shows all of the plurality of recording layers. Represents a case where recording was performed at a constant linear velocity and at a constant recording clock irrespective of the distance from the optical pickup 3. The recording layers are Ln, Ln-1,..., L1, and L0 in order from the closest one from the optical pickup.
[0013]
As is clear from FIG. 2, A has a smaller optical power dependence at the recording layer position with respect to the distance from the optical pickup 3 than B.
As a result, when recording is performed on the recording layer under the condition A, a large optical power difference does not occur between the recording layer closest to the optical pickup 3 and the recording layer farthest from the optical pickup 3. It is possible to reduce the load on a driving circuit for driving the driving circuit.
[0014]
Next, the operation will be described.
The case of recording first will be described.
The rotation control circuit 5 outputs a rotation control signal to rotate the optical disc 2.
Next, a recording control signal is output from the recording / reproduction control circuit 8 based on predetermined recording conditions output from the recording / reproduction condition setting circuit 7, and the laser driving circuit 9 is driven based on the recording control signal, The semiconductor laser in the pickup 3 is driven to irradiate a track on a predetermined recording layer on the optical disc 2. Then, a wobble frequency is detected by the wobble detection circuit 4 from the return light from the optical disk 2. It outputs to the rotation control circuit 5, the clock generation circuit 6, and the recording / reproduction condition setting circuit 7 based on the wobble frequency.
[0015]
Next, the rotation control circuit 5 outputs a signal for controlling the rotation of the optical disc 2 by setting the wobble frequency so as to have a constant linear velocity.
The clock generation circuit 6 outputs to the recording / reproduction control circuit 8 a recording clock that is faster as the data is recorded on the recording layer closer to the optical pickup 3. The recording / reproduction condition setting circuit 7 sets recording conditions based on the wobble frequency of a predetermined recording layer, and outputs the recording conditions to the recording / reproduction control circuit 8 as a recording signal.
[0016]
Further, a recording control signal is output to the laser drive circuit 9 based on the recording signal output from the recording / reproduction control circuit 8 and the recording clock output from the clock generation circuit 6. The laser drive circuit 9 outputs a drive signal based on the recording control signal to the semiconductor laser and the wobble detection circuit 4 in the optical pickup 3, and performs recording on the track of the optical disk 2.
The same applies to the case of reproduction, and a description thereof will be omitted.
[0017]
As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the rotation control circuit 5 that outputs a rotation control signal of the optical disc 2 by setting all the recordings on the plurality of recording layers to have a constant linear velocity, and the optical pickup And a clock generation circuit 6 that outputs a recording clock that is faster as recording is performed on a recording layer closer to the recording layer 3. Therefore, when recording on the optical disk 2 having a plurality of recording layers, the semiconductor laser and the semiconductor laser are driven. Recording / reproducing apparatus 1 that reduces the load on the driving circuit for the optical recording / reproducing.
[0018]
Next, a modified example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
According to a modification of the embodiment of the present invention, in the embodiment, the rotation control circuit 5 has a correlation table between the wobble frequency and the linear velocity detected by the wobble detection circuit 4, and the rotation control circuit 5 stores the correlation table in the recording layer near the optical pickup 3. The wobble frequency is set so that the linear velocity becomes higher as the recording is performed, and the rotation control signal of the optical disk 2 is output. The clock generation circuit 6 correlates the wobble frequency detected by the wobble detection circuit 4 with the recording clock. It has a table and outputs a recording clock proportional to the linear velocity of each recording layer and capable of forming the same shortest recording mark to be recorded on each recording layer. Further, the recording / reproducing condition setting circuit 7 sets recording / reproducing conditions such as recording power and recording pulse width for each recording layer determined by the recording layer configuration, the recording clock and the linear velocity. The rest is the same as the embodiment.
[0019]
If the shortest recording marks formed on each recording layer are the same, reducing the linear velocity can reduce the optical power required for recording. By utilizing this, when recording is performed at a constant recording density for all of the plurality of recording layers and at a slower recording clock as the recording layer is farther from the optical pickup 3, a constant linear velocity is applied to all of the plurality of recording layers. As compared with the case where recording is performed with the same recording clock, recording on a recording layer far from the optical pickup 3 can be performed with a small optical power.
The recording / reproducing operation in this case is the same as that of the embodiment of the present invention, and the description is omitted.
[0020]

It has a rotation control circuit 5 that outputs a rotation control signal of the optical disk 2 by setting the linear velocity to be as fast as possible, and a correlation table between the wobble frequency detected by the wobble detection circuit 4 and the recording clock. A clock generating circuit 6 for outputting a recording clock proportional to the linear velocity of each recording layer and capable of forming the same shortest recording mark to be recorded on each recording layer; and for each recording layer determined by the recording layer configuration and the recording clock and linear velocity And a recording / reproducing condition setting circuit 7 for setting recording / reproducing conditions such as recording power and recording pulse width of the optical disk. When performing the second recording, the optical recording and reproducing apparatus 1 to reduce the load on the driving circuit for driving the semiconductor laser and this is obtained.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when performing recording on an optical disc having a plurality of recording layers, if the linear velocity of each recording layer is constant, recording on the recording layer closer to the optical pickup becomes more difficult. When the linear velocity is determined for each recording layer with a fast recording clock, recording is performed with a recording clock having a higher linear velocity as recording is performed on the recording layer closer to the optical pickup. Also, it is possible to obtain an optical recording / reproducing apparatus which reduces a load on a driving circuit for driving the same.
