Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce reading errors of an optical disk reproducing device. CONSTITUTION:Plural reading laser spots are arranged with an interval on the same reading track of a medium by a diffraction grating 3 in an optical head or a laser diode array. Reflected light beams from the respective laser spots are received by respective photodetectors 9a, 9b and 9c in the optical head and the same information is reproduced with a time difference. The plural reading signals are compensated for the time differences by using delay circuits 11a and 11b, and based on the averaged value or the majority value of each signal value, the most probable signal is outputted as a reproduced signal output. Thus, signal having a very small effect caused by random errors is reproduced.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to these drawings. Light emitted from the semiconductor laser 1 of FIG. 1 is converted into collimated light by the collimator lens 2, passes through the diffraction grating 3, and is condensed on the disk 6 by the objective lens 5 to form condensed spots 7a to 7c. Here, when the semiconductor laser 1 originally emits a plurality of laser beams by the laser diode array, the diffraction grating 3 is unnecessary.

The reflected diffracted light from the disk 6 is collected again by the objective lens 5, reaches the beam splitter 4, and is guided to the condenser lens 8 side. The reflected and diffracted light that has been condensed again is received on the photodetectors 9a to 9c and converted into an electric signal. Since the electric signal from the photodetector 9 is a normal current signal, it is converted into a voltage signal by the current-voltage conversion amplifiers 10a to 10c.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the configuration of a signal processing circuit for digital processing. Each reproduction signal is a binarization circuit 1.
At 5, it is converted into digital signals of "1" and "0". Then, each binarized reproduction signal is calculated by a three-input majority decision circuit composed of half adders 16a to 16c,
The state, whichever is more, "1" or "0", is output from S1 as the reproduction signal state. The truth table of the circuit of FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. The error of randomness, which is a problem here, is an unspecified error in which the position on the disk surface and the reproduction time are represented by probability, unlike the error due to the defect of the medium in which the generation position is fixed. In the present invention,
Reading the same information recording position multiple times with multiple reading spots with a time lag, and taking the average value,
Even if a random error occurs by making a majority decision for digital signals, a kind of error correction is performed to correct the error of that signal with the signal of other beam spots, and the probability of actually becoming an error is greatly increased. Is suppressed. Here, the number of read-out beam spots is limited to three for the sake of simplification, but of course, any number of beam spots may be realized as long as the number of spots is two or more.
