本発明は光学式情報記録装置の改良に係り、特に記憶媒
体に情報を記録する時、良好な形状を有する記録ビット
を得ることができる光学式情報記録装置に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of an optical information recording device, and particularly an optical information recording device that can obtain recorded bits having a good shape when recording information on a storage medium.

生信号のレベルが一定となる様な制御が存した。しかし
ながら、上記の様な制御方法では、再生信号のSハ比が
媒体面上に形成された情報ビット形状に依存しているこ
とから、φ比の改善に於て限界があった。Generally, information is recorded on a recording medium in which a magnetic film made of a composition of Gd, Tb, Fe, etc. is deposited on a glass disk by sputtering or the like, using a semiconductor laser or the like, and optical information is used to reproduce the information recorded in this way. In a recording/reproducing device, improving the 8741 ratio of a reproduced signal is important in terms of improving error rate and the like. For this reason, conventionally, in order to improve the S//N ratio, there has been a control method in which the laser power of the recording laser is changed depending on the level of the reproduced signal so that the level of the reproduced signal is kept constant. However, with the above control method, there is a limit to the improvement of the φ ratio because the S/c ratio of the reproduced signal depends on the shape of the information bits formed on the medium surface.
なぜなら情報ビットの形状は、媒体面の感度ムラ、書き
込みレーデパワーの変動、バイアス磁界の変動、或いは
フォーカス精度等により変化し、この情報ビットの形状
の不均一が再生信号のS/N比の劣化の原因となるから
である。This is because the shape of the information bit changes due to unevenness in the sensitivity of the medium surface, fluctuations in write radar power, fluctuations in the bias magnetic field, focus accuracy, etc., and this non-uniformity in the shape of the information bit causes the deterioration of the S/N ratio of the reproduced signal. This is because it becomes a cause.

An object of the present invention is to provide an optical information recording device capable of reproducing a reproduction signal having a high ratio.

A set of sub-beams is provided, the other of which is arranged so that the recording section of the recording medium is irradiated by the recording beam, and the difference in light intensity between the respective sub-beams reflected or transmitted by the recording medium is detected. It is characterized in that the light emission output of the light source is controlled according to the difference in light amount.

9によってセンサ10上に3ビームのスポットが当る。The grating 5 divides the beam into three beams of 0th order and ±1st order. The three beams pass through a polarizing beam splitter 4 and are focused onto a recording medium 1 by an objective lens 3. During recording, this 3-beam 00th-order light is used as a recording beam to form information bits on the recording medium 1. Further, the ±1st-order light is used as a sub beam to control the light emission output of the light source during recording, and for tracking to correctly guide the recording beam to the information bit during reproduction. Of these, the latter tracking method is generally widely known as the three-beam method, and will not be described in detail here. The three beams are reflected from the surface of the recording medium 1, transmitted through the objective lens 3, reflected by the beam splitter 4, and directed toward the deflection plate 12. The polarizing plate 12 transmits only a certain polarizing surface of the incident light. That is, the signal component is optically detected by the light passing through the deflection plate 12. Further, the reflected light is subjected to astigmatism and difference by the cylindrical lens 8, and three beam spots are applied to the sensor 10 by the circular lens 9.

信号は点線で示している。Next, the effect will be explained. FIG. 2 shows the positional relationship between the light spot formed by the three beams and the information bit formed on the medium surface. Information bits 25 as shown are formed. In the figure, the information bit shape indicated by a solid line is optimal, and the shape indicated by a dotted line indicates insufficient writing of information bits. The bit shape is detected by a sub beam (-1st order light) 26 following the recording beam. In other words, if an optimal bit shape can be formed, the information bits 25 are arranged so that they overlap by an area that is half the area of the 1st order light 260. In the case of the bit shape shown by the dotted line, the overlapping area of the light spot and the information bit 25 becomes smaller, and the electric signal of the primary light detected by the optical sensor 10 becomes smaller. The situation is shown in Figure 3. −
Each time the primary light 26 passes through the information bit 25, a pile of electrical signals is obtained, as shown in the figure. Electrical signals obtained from information bits 25 shown in solid lines are shown in solid lines in FIG. 3, and electrical signals obtained from information bits 25 shown in dotted lines are shown in dotted lines.
従って該検知信号の平均値をとれば、それは情報ビット
25の形状に対応したものとなる。Therefore, if the average value of the detection signals is taken, it will correspond to the shape of the information bit 25.

差動増巾器18から出力される。Here, among the +1st-order lights, the sub-beam (+1st-order light) 27 that precedes the recording beam detects only the reflected light from the first surface of the medium, and the other sub-beam (-1st-order light) that comes after the recording beam light)
26 detects reflected light from the medium surface and information bits, and the first and second optical sensors 14 and 15 detect primary light 27, respectively.
and −1-order light 26, and the first and second optical sensors 1
4 and 15 to the first and second I-V converters 16.17
After converting the signal voltages into voltages, the differential amplifier 18 calculates the difference between the signal voltages. Fluctuations in the detection voltage caused by uneven reflection on the surface of the medium, etc. are removed, and only the detection signal of the information bit 25 differs. It is output from the dynamic amplifier 18.

大する。The output of the differential amplifier 18 is input to a low pass filter 19, and the average value of the detection signals is taken. If the shape of the recording bit becomes smaller than the optimum bit shape, the voltage ve output from the ronos filter 19 decreases. In the current source 20, this voltage VC is set as the set voltage ■. compared to the voltage V. The current value output from the current source 20 increases in accordance with the decrease in . As a result, the light emission output of the semiconductor laser 7 increases.

力は一定となる。Then, the output voltage vc from the low-pass filter 19 and the set voltage V from the set voltage input section 21. The light emitting output of the semiconductor laser 7 increases until the difference disappears, and when the output voltage vc and the set voltage v0 become equal, the light emitting output of the semiconductor laser 7 becomes constant.
しかして第3図において点線で示される様な情報ビット

制御される。When an information bit as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 is detected, the light emitting output of the semiconductor laser is increased to control the bit shape to become the bit shape shown by the solid line.

Furthermore, in addition to the recording beam, the recording bits are monitored using a sub-beam, making it possible to optimize the recording bits in near real-time, eliminating the need for extra operation sequences for optimizing the recording bits. can. Furthermore, since the recording bits are monitored by taking the difference between a set of sub beams, it is possible to eliminate the influence of fluctuations in the detection signal of the recording bits caused by reflection bugs on the medium surface.
