Abstract

When recording on/reproducing from an optical disk with many recording layers, the tilt margin of each recording layer is reduced with the distance of the recording layer from the laser beam incident surface. For example, when the respective recording layers have a fixed recording density, a sufficient recording/reproducing performance becomes difficult to ensure for a recording layer positioned away from the laser beam incident surface. The present invention provides an optical disk and an optical disk device capable of ensuring a sufficient recording/reproducing performance by appropriately changing the recording density of each recording layer even when multiple recording layers are laminated for an optical disk having a guide layer and recording layers, for example.

 また、記録密度については、たとえば特許文献1にて「複数の記録層を有し複数の記録密度で情報を記録可能な光ディスクにおいて、記録層毎に異なるデータ記録密度にて情報を記録する複数のデータ記録領域」を有した光ディスクが開示されている。 Regarding the recording density, for example, in Patent Document 1, “in an optical disc having a plurality of recording layers and capable of recording information at a plurality of recording densities, a plurality of information recording at different data recording densities for each recording layer” An optical disc having a “data recording area” is disclosed.

 近年、Blu-ray Disc(TM)規格の光ディスクにおいて、記録容量を増加させるために3層や4層の記録層を有する光ディスクが開発され、規格化が行われた。本光ディスクでは、記録層の増加に加えて一層あたりの記録密度の向上が図られており、光ディスク一枚あたりの記録容量向上に寄与している。そして今後、更なる大容量化を目的として、より多数の記録層を有する光ディスクの開発が行われると予想されている。 In recent years, in order to increase the recording capacity of an optical disc of Blu-ray Disc (TM) standard, an optical disc having three or four recording layers has been developed and standardized. In this optical disc, the recording density per layer is improved in addition to the increase in the recording layer, which contributes to the improvement of the recording capacity per optical disc. In the future, it is expected that an optical disc having a larger number of recording layers will be developed for the purpose of further increasing the capacity.
 非特許文献1に示されているような多数の記録層を有した光ディスクを記録再生する場合、レーザ光の入射面から離れた位置に配置された記録層ほどチルトマージンが減少し、例えば各記録層の記録密度が一定の場合、レーザ光の入射面から離れた位置に配置された記録層における記録再生性能の確保が困難となる。 When recording / reproducing an optical disc having a large number of recording layers as shown in Non-Patent Document 1, the tilt margin decreases as the recording layer is located farther from the laser light incident surface. When the recording density of the layer is constant, it is difficult to ensure the recording / reproducing performance in the recording layer arranged at a position away from the laser light incident surface.
 また、データの記録密度は記録クロックのクロック周波数に依存する。光ディスクに形成されたグルーブにはウォブルと呼ばれる変調が施されており、光ディスクへ記録を行う際、記録クロックは、ウォブルから生成することが一般的である。しかし、前述したグルーブレスディスクにおいては、記録層には物理的な溝構造がなく、ウォブルを有する層がガイド層に限られているため、記録層に物理的な溝構造を有する光ディスクのウォブルの変調方法をグルーブレスディスクに用いると、記録層に応じて記録密度を変化させることが困難である。 Also, the data recording density depends on the clock frequency of the recording clock. The groove formed on the optical disc is subjected to modulation called wobble. When recording on the optical disc, a recording clock is generally generated from the wobble. However, in the above-described grooveless disc, the recording layer does not have a physical groove structure, and the wobbled layer is limited to the guide layer. Therefore, the wobble of the optical disc having the physical groove structure in the recording layer is limited. When the modulation method is used for a grooveless disk, it is difficult to change the recording density according to the recording layer.
 そこで本発明は、例えばガイド層と記録層を有する光ディスクにおいて、複数の記録層を積層した場合でも、記録層に応じて記録密度を変化させることにより記録再生性能を確保することが可能な光ディスクと光ディスク装置を提供する。 Accordingly, the present invention provides an optical disc capable of ensuring recording / reproduction performance by changing the recording density in accordance with the recording layer even when a plurality of recording layers are laminated in an optical disc having a guide layer and a recording layer, for example. An optical disk device is provided.
 上記課題は例えば、特許請求の範囲に記載の発明により解決される。 The above problem is solved by, for example, the invention described in the claims.
 本願は上記課題を解決する手段を複数含んでいるが、その一例を挙げるならば、レーザ光により情報が記録または再生される光ディスクであって、サーボ制御のためのガイド層と、ディスクの厚さ方向に積層する複数の記録層と、を有し、前記レーザ光が入射する面に最も近い記録層を第1の記録層、前記入射面から最も遠い層を第2の記録層、とした場合、前記第1の記録層の記録密度と、前記第2の記録層の記録密度と、が異なることを特徴とする。 The present application includes a plurality of means for solving the above-mentioned problems. For example, an optical disk on which information is recorded or reproduced by laser light, a guide layer for servo control, and a thickness of the disk A plurality of recording layers stacked in the direction, and the recording layer closest to the surface on which the laser beam is incident is the first recording layer, and the layer farthest from the incident surface is the second recording layer The recording density of the first recording layer is different from the recording density of the second recording layer.
 本発明によれば、記録層を多数積層した場合でも、記録媒体の記録再生性能を確保することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, the recording / reproducing performance of the recording medium can be ensured even when a large number of recording layers are stacked.

 以下、本発明の実施の形態を光ディスク、光ディスク装置それぞれについて図面に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for each of an optical disk and an optical disk device.
 まず、光ディスクについて説明する。 First, the optical disk will be described.
 図1(a)は、本実施例に係る光ディスク100の断面図の例である。本光ディスクは、ランド/グルーブ構造を持つ層ガイド層101と、物理的な溝構造を有さない記録層102とから構成されている。ガイド層101のランド/グルーブ構造には後述するウォブル204が設けられている。また、ガイド層101と記録層102のどちらか、または両方に管理領域が確保されており、後述する管理情報が記録されている。 FIG. 1A is an example of a cross-sectional view of an optical disc 100 according to the present embodiment. This optical disc is composed of a layer guide layer 101 having a land / groove structure and a recording layer 102 having no physical groove structure. The land / groove structure of the guide layer 101 is provided with a wobble 204 described later. In addition, a management area is secured in one or both of the guide layer 101 and the recording layer 102, and management information to be described later is recorded.
 なお、ここでは記録層102を6層備えている光ディスクの例を示したが、二つ以上の記録層を有していればよい。また、ガイド層101と記録層102の位置は逆であってもよいし、ガイド層101を記録層102の間に設けてもよい。また、図1(b)に示すようにガイド層101以外に特定の層を有さず、所定の記録領域103を備えた光ディスクとして、光ディスク装置が所定の位置に記録を行うことで仮想的に記録層を形成してもよい。 Although an example of an optical disc having six recording layers 102 is shown here, it is only necessary to have two or more recording layers. Further, the positions of the guide layer 101 and the recording layer 102 may be reversed, or the guide layer 101 may be provided between the recording layers 102. Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, as an optical disc having a specific recording area 103 without having a specific layer other than the guide layer 101, the optical disc apparatus virtually records by recording at a predetermined position. A recording layer may be formed.
 図2(a)は、本実施例に係る光ディスク100の各記録層における記録密度の例である。ここでは、L0層がレーザ光の入射面から最も離れた位置に配置された記録層とする。記録層の位置がレーザ光の入射面から離れるにしたがってチルトマージンが減少するため、各記録層の記録密度が一定の場合、レーザ光の入射面から離れた位置に配置された記録層の記録再生性能の確保が困難となる。これに対して、図2(a)に示すように、レーザ光の入射面に近い記録層から遠い記録層へと順に記録密度を変化、すなわち、記録密度を低下させることで、入射面から遠い記録層の記録再生性能を確保することができる。 FIG. 2A shows an example of the recording density in each recording layer of the optical disc 100 according to the present embodiment. Here, it is assumed that the L0 layer is a recording layer disposed at a position farthest from the laser light incident surface. Since the tilt margin decreases as the position of the recording layer moves away from the laser light incident surface, recording / reproduction of a recording layer arranged at a position away from the laser light incident surface is performed when the recording density of each recording layer is constant. It becomes difficult to ensure performance. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the recording density is changed in order from the recording layer close to the laser light incident surface to the far recording layer, that is, the recording density is lowered, so that it is far from the incident surface. The recording / reproducing performance of the recording layer can be ensured.
 なお、図2(a)では各記録層毎に記録密度が異なる例を示したが、図2(b)に示すように複数の記録層ずつグループに分け、各グループ毎に異なる記録密度としてもよい。 2A shows an example in which the recording density differs for each recording layer. However, as shown in FIG. 2B, a plurality of recording layers are divided into groups, and different recording densities may be used for each group. Good.
 図3は、本実施例に係る光ディスクのガイド層101の構造の例を示す図である。ガイド層101には、グルーブ201とランド202が形成されており、グルーブ201にはウォブル204が形成されている。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of the guide layer 101 of the optical disc according to the present embodiment. A groove 201 and a land 202 are formed on the guide layer 101, and a wobble 204 is formed on the groove 201.
 また、情報の記録再生時には、光ディスク装置のトラッキングサーボによって、光スポット203がグルーブ201またはランド202に追従するよう制御される。 Further, at the time of recording / reproducing information, the optical spot 203 is controlled so as to follow the groove 201 or the land 202 by the tracking servo of the optical disc apparatus.
 本実施例では、グルーブ201に形成されたウォブル204は振幅変調されており、光スポット203はグルーブ201を追従する例を示す。 In this embodiment, the wobble 204 formed in the groove 201 is amplitude-modulated, and the light spot 203 follows the groove 201.
 図4は、図3に示したガイド層を光ディスク装置で再生した場合に得られるウォブル信号の例である。ウォブル信号の生成方法については後述する。 FIG. 4 is an example of a wobble signal obtained when the guide layer shown in FIG. 3 is reproduced by an optical disk device. A method for generating the wobble signal will be described later.
 従来の光ディスクに形成されるウォブルのウォブル周波数は、光ディスク装置のサーボ帯域より高く設定されているため、光スポットはウォブルに追従せずグルーブの中心をほぼ直進する。このときの反射光を検出することで、図4に示すような、ウォブル構造に対応したウォブル信号を得ることができる。 Since the wobble frequency of the wobble formed on the conventional optical disc is set higher than the servo band of the optical disc apparatus, the light spot does not follow the wobble and travels almost straight through the center of the groove. By detecting the reflected light at this time, a wobble signal corresponding to the wobble structure as shown in FIG. 4 can be obtained.
 図5は、図4に示したウォブル信号の周波数スペクトルの例である。ウォブルの振幅変調によって、搬送波の周波数と、搬送波の周波数と変調波の周波数との和と、搬送波の周波数と変調波の周波数との差と、の3つの周波数の値において、ウォブル信号の周波数スペクトルのピークが得られる。例えば、搬送波および変調波の周波数をそれぞれ3.8MHz、0.2MHzとすると、図5に示すピーク周波数はそれぞれf1=3.6MHz、f2=3.8MHz、f3=4.0MHzとなる。 FIG. 5 is an example of the frequency spectrum of the wobble signal shown in FIG. By the wobble amplitude modulation, the frequency spectrum of the wobble signal is determined by three frequency values: the carrier frequency, the sum of the carrier frequency and the modulation wave frequency, and the difference between the carrier frequency and the modulation wave frequency. The peak is obtained. For example, if the frequencies of the carrier wave and the modulated wave are 3.8 MHz and 0.2 MHz, respectively, the peak frequencies shown in FIG. 5 are f1 = 3.6 MHz, f2 = 3.8 MHz, and f3 = 4.0 MHz, respectively.
 図6は、本実施例に係る光ディスクに管理情報として記録されている各記録層に対応するウォブル周波数の例である。図6に示すように各記録層毎に異なるウォブル周波数を設定し、記録する記録層に基づいてウォブル周波数成分を光ディスク装置が選択し、選択したウォブル周波数に基づいて記録クロックを生成し、記録層ごとに異なる記録密度で記録を行うことができる。なお、記録クロックの生成方法については後述する。 FIG. 6 is an example of the wobble frequency corresponding to each recording layer recorded as management information on the optical disc according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, a different wobble frequency is set for each recording layer, the optical disk device selects a wobble frequency component based on the recording layer to be recorded, generates a recording clock based on the selected wobble frequency, Recording can be performed at different recording densities. A method for generating the recording clock will be described later.
 この管理情報は、ガイド層および全ての記録層に記録されていてもよいし、ガイド層のみ、または特定の記録層のみに記録されていてもよい。また、各記録層にその記録層に対応するウォブル周波数成分が記録されていてもよい。 This management information may be recorded on the guide layer and all recording layers, or may be recorded only on the guide layer or only on a specific recording layer. Further, a wobble frequency component corresponding to the recording layer may be recorded on each recording layer.
 管理情報が記録されている半径位置としては、たとえば22mmなど内周部や、58mmなど外周部が挙げられるが、各半径位置にたとえば数十mmおきに記録されていてもよい。また本管理情報はガイド層のウォブルに記録されていてもよいし、記録層の記録データに記録されていてもよい。 As the radial position where the management information is recorded, for example, an inner peripheral part such as 22 mm or an outer peripheral part such as 58 mm may be mentioned, but it may be recorded every tens of millimeters at each radial position. Further, the management information may be recorded in the wobble of the guide layer, or may be recorded in the recording data of the recording layer.
 本管理情報がガイド層のウォブルに記録されている場合には、管理情報が記録されている領域のみ所定の周波数によって変調されていてもよい。これは、たとえば各記録層の記録密度が不明な場合でも、管理情報は再生することができるようにするためである。 When the management information is recorded in the wobble of the guide layer, only the area where the management information is recorded may be modulated with a predetermined frequency. This is because, for example, the management information can be reproduced even when the recording density of each recording layer is unknown.
 なお、本実施例ではウォブル周波数成分が管理情報として記録されている例を示したが、図2に示したような記録密度が記録されていてもよいし、ウォブル周波数成分と記録密度の両方が記録されていてもよい。 In this embodiment, an example in which the wobble frequency component is recorded as management information has been shown. However, the recording density as shown in FIG. 2 may be recorded, or both the wobble frequency component and the recording density may be recorded. It may be recorded.
 また、この管理情報は光ディスクにあらかじめ記録されていてもよいし、後述するように光ディスク装置によって記録されてもよい。 Further, this management information may be recorded in advance on the optical disc, or may be recorded by the optical disc apparatus as will be described later.
 本実施例では、光ディスク100のガイド層101の構造が実施例1と異なる例を示す。なお、本実施例における光ディスク100のその他の構成については実施例1と同様であるので記載を省略する。 In the present embodiment, an example in which the structure of the guide layer 101 of the optical disc 100 is different from that in the first embodiment is shown. In addition, since the other structure of the optical disk 100 in a present Example is the same as that of Example 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

In this example, a wobble 205 including two types of spatial frequencies is formed in the groove 201.
 図8は、図7に示したガイド層を光ディスク装置で再生した場合のウォブル信号の例である。 FIG. 8 shows an example of a wobble signal when the guide layer shown in FIG. 7 is reproduced by an optical disk device.
 図9は、図8に示したウォブル信号の周波数スペクトルの例である。f4、f5はウォブル信号に含まれる周波数成分のピークを示している。f4、f5はそれぞれたとえば0.2MHz、3.8MHzである。 FIG. 9 is an example of the frequency spectrum of the wobble signal shown in FIG. f4 and f5 indicate peaks of frequency components included in the wobble signal. f4 and f5 are, for example, 0.2 MHz and 3.8 MHz, respectively.
 なお、本実施例では2つの周波数成分を持つウォブルを示したが、ウォブルが3つ以上の周波数成分を有していてもよい。 In the present embodiment, a wobble having two frequency components is shown, but the wobble may have three or more frequency components.
 光ディスク装置について説明する。 The optical disk device will be described.

Do.
 本光ディスク装置800は、コントローラ801と信号処理部802と、光ピックアップ804と、光ピックアップ804を光ディスク100の半径方向に移動するスライダモータ805と、スライダモータ805を駆動するスライダ駆動手段806と、光ピックアップ804中に備えられた球面収差補正素子829を駆動するための収差補正駆動手段807と、光ディスク100を回転するためのスピンドルモータ808と、スピンドルモータ808の回転に同期した信号を生成する回転信号生成手段809と、スピンドルモータ808を回転させるための回転信号を生成するスピンドル制御手段810と、スピンドル制御手段810が生成する回転信号に応じてスピンドルモータ808を駆動するスピンドル駆動手段811と、光ディスク100の記録層と記録層に対して合焦するレーザスポットの位置ずれ量を示すフォーカス誤差信号を生成するフォーカス誤差信号生成手段812と、フォーカス誤差信号に応じてフォーカス駆動信号を生成するフォーカス制御手段813と、フォーカス駆動信号に応じて光ピックアップ804中に備えられたアクチュエータ832を駆動するフォーカス駆動手段814と、光ディスク100のガイド層上のトラックとレーザスポットとの位置ずれ量を示すトラッキング誤差信号を生成するトラッキング誤差信号生成手段815と、トラッキング誤差信号に応じてトラッキング駆動信号を生成するトラッキング制御手段816と、トラッキング駆動信号に応じてアクチュエータ832を駆動するトラッキング駆動手段817と、光ディスク100のガイド層とガイド層に対して合焦するレーザスポットの位置ずれ量を示すリレーレンズ誤差信号を生成するリレーレンズ誤差信号生成手段818と、リレーレンズ誤差信号に応じたリレーレンズ駆動信号を生成するリレーレンズ制御手段819と、リレーレンズ駆動信号に応じてリレーレンズ841を駆動するリレーレンズ駆動手段820を備えている。 The optical disc apparatus 800 includes a controller 801, a signal processing unit 802, an optical pickup 804, a slider motor 805 that moves the optical pickup 804 in the radial direction of the optical disc 100, slider driving means 806 that drives the slider motor 805, Aberration correction driving means 807 for driving the spherical aberration correction element 829 provided in the pickup 804, a spindle motor 808 for rotating the optical disc 100, and a rotation signal for generating a signal synchronized with the rotation of the spindle motor 808 Generating means 809, spindle control means 810 for generating a rotation signal for rotating the spindle motor 808, spindle driving means 811 for driving the spindle motor 808 in accordance with the rotation signal generated by the spindle control means 810, and optical data. A focus error signal generating means 812 for generating a focus error signal indicating a positional deviation amount of a laser spot focused on the recording layer and the recording layer of the optical disc 100, and focus control for generating a focus drive signal in accordance with the focus error signal Means 813; focus drive means 814 for driving an actuator 832 provided in the optical pickup 804 according to the focus drive signal; and tracking error signal indicating the amount of positional deviation between the track on the guide layer of the optical disc 100 and the laser spot. Error signal generating means 815 for generating a tracking control means 816 for generating a tracking drive signal according to the tracking error signal, a tracking drive means 817 for driving the actuator 832 according to the tracking drive signal, and an optical disc A relay lens error signal generating means 818 for generating a relay lens error signal indicating the positional deviation of the laser spot focused on the guide layer and the 00 guide layer, and a relay lens driving signal corresponding to the relay lens error signal Relay lens control means 819 for performing the above operation, and relay lens driving means 820 for driving the relay lens 841 according to the relay lens drive signal.
 光ピックアップ804は、たとえば405nmと650nmなど波長の異なる2つの光学系を備えており、それぞれ光ディスク100の記録層とガイド層とに集光する。まず、405nmの光学系について再生時の動作を説明する。 The optical pickup 804 includes two optical systems having different wavelengths such as 405 nm and 650 nm, for example, and condenses the recording layer and the guide layer of the optical disc 100, respectively. First, the operation during reproduction of the 405 nm optical system will be described.
 レーザドライバ821は、コントローラ801によって制御されており、レーザダイオード822を駆動する電流を出力する。この駆動電流は、レーザノイズを抑制するために数百MHzの高周波重畳が印加されている。レーザダイオード822は、駆動電流に応じた波形で波長405nmのレーザ光を出射する。出射されたレーザ光はコリメータレンズ823にて平行光となり、ビームスプリッタ824で一部が反射し、集光レンズ825によってパワーモニタ826に集光する。パワーモニタ826は、レーザ光の強度に応じた電流または電圧をコントローラ801にフィードバックする。これによって光ディスク100の記録層に集光するレーザ光の強度が、たとえば2mWなど所望の値に保持される。 The laser driver 821 is controlled by the controller 801, and outputs a current for driving the laser diode 822. This driving current is applied with high frequency superposition of several hundred MHz in order to suppress laser noise. The laser diode 822 emits laser light having a wavelength of 405 nm with a waveform corresponding to the drive current. The emitted laser light is converted into parallel light by the collimator lens 823, partially reflected by the beam splitter 824, and condensed on the power monitor 826 by the condenser lens 825. The power monitor 826 feeds back a current or voltage corresponding to the intensity of the laser light to the controller 801. As a result, the intensity of the laser beam condensed on the recording layer of the optical disc 100 is maintained at a desired value such as 2 mW.
 一方、ビームスプリッタ824を透過したレーザ光は偏光ビームスプリッタ827にて反射し、ダイクロイックミラー828を透過する。ダイクロイックミラー828は特定の波長の光を反射し、その他の波長の光を透過する光学素子である。ここでは波長405nmの光を透過し、650nmの光を反射するものとする。 On the other hand, the laser beam that has passed through the beam splitter 824 is reflected by the polarization beam splitter 827 and passes through the dichroic mirror 828. The dichroic mirror 828 is an optical element that reflects light of a specific wavelength and transmits light of other wavelengths. Here, it is assumed that light having a wavelength of 405 nm is transmitted and light having a wavelength of 650 nm is reflected.
 ダイクロイックミラー828を透過したレーザ光は、収差補正駆動手段807にて駆動される球面収差補正素子829によって収束・発散が制御され、1/4波長板830にて円偏光となり、対物レンズ844によって光ディスク100の記録層に集光する。対物レンズ844は、アクチュエータ832によって位置制御される。 Convergence / divergence of the laser light transmitted through the dichroic mirror 828 is controlled by the spherical aberration correction element 829 driven by the aberration correction drive unit 807, becomes circularly polarized light by the quarter wavelength plate 830, and is optical disc by the objective lens 844. Concentrate on 100 recording layers. The position of the objective lens 844 is controlled by an actuator 832.
 光ディスク100によって反射したレーザ光は、光ディスク100に記録された情報に応じて強度が変調される。1/4波長板830にて直線偏光となり、ダイクロイックミラー828および球面収差補正素子829を経て、偏光ビームスプリッタ827を透過する。透過したレーザ光は、集光レンズ833によってディテクタ834に集光する。ディテクタ834はレーザ光の強度を検出し、これに応じた信号を信号処理部802およびフォーカス誤差信号生成手段812に出力する。 The intensity of the laser light reflected by the optical disc 100 is modulated in accordance with information recorded on the optical disc 100. The light is linearly polarized by the quarter-wave plate 830, passes through the dichroic mirror 828 and the spherical aberration correction element 829, and passes through the polarization beam splitter 827. The transmitted laser light is condensed on the detector 834 by the condenser lens 833. The detector 834 detects the intensity of the laser beam and outputs a signal corresponding to the intensity to the signal processing unit 802 and the focus error signal generation unit 812.
 信号処理部802は、ディテクタ834から出力された再生信号に対し増幅、等化、復号などの処理を行い、復号したデータをコントローラ801に出力する。コントローラ801はデータをホスト803に出力する。フォーカス誤差信号生成手段812は、ディテクタ834から出力された信号から、記録層に対するフォーカス誤差信号を生成する。 The signal processing unit 802 performs processing such as amplification, equalization, and decoding on the reproduction signal output from the detector 834, and outputs the decoded data to the controller 801. The controller 801 outputs data to the host 803. The focus error signal generation unit 812 generates a focus error signal for the recording layer from the signal output from the detector 834.
 フォーカス制御手段813はコントローラ801からの指令信号により、フォーカス誤差信号に対応したフォーカス駆動信号をフォーカス駆動手段814に出力する。フォーカス駆動手段814はフォーカス駆動信号に応じて、アクチュエータ832をディスク面に垂直な方向に駆動する。上述したようにフォーカス制御手段813とフォーカス駆動手段814が動作することで、光ディスク100の記録層に照射されたレーザスポットが常に記録層で合焦するようにフォーカス制御が行われる。 The focus control means 813 outputs a focus drive signal corresponding to the focus error signal to the focus drive means 814 in response to a command signal from the controller 801. The focus drive unit 814 drives the actuator 832 in a direction perpendicular to the disk surface in accordance with the focus drive signal. As described above, the focus control unit 813 and the focus drive unit 814 operate to perform focus control so that the laser spot irradiated on the recording layer of the optical disc 100 is always focused on the recording layer.
 記録を行う際には、ホスト803と信号処理部802からそれぞれ記録データとウォブル信号がコントローラ801に入力される。コントローラ801は、信号処理部802から入力されたウォブル信号に基づいて記録密度に対応した記録クロックを生成し、生成した記録クロックとホスト803から入力された記録データとに対応した記録波形をレーザドライバ821へ出力する。レーザドライバ821は、記録波形に応じた駆動電流をレーザダイオード822に出力し、レーザダイオード822が対応した波形でレーザ光を出射することで光ディスク100の記録層に記録が行われる。 When recording, recording data and a wobble signal are input to the controller 801 from the host 803 and the signal processing unit 802, respectively. The controller 801 generates a recording clock corresponding to the recording density based on the wobble signal input from the signal processing unit 802, and a recording waveform corresponding to the generated recording clock and recording data input from the host 803 is a laser driver. 821 is output. The laser driver 821 outputs a drive current corresponding to the recording waveform to the laser diode 822, and the laser diode 822 emits laser light with a corresponding waveform, so that recording is performed on the recording layer of the optical disc 100.
 次に、650nmの光学系について説明する。本光学系については、記録時と再生時での動作の差異はない。 Next, the 650 nm optical system will be described. In this optical system, there is no difference in operation between recording and reproduction.
 405nmの光学系と同様に、レーザドライバ821がレーザダイオード835を駆動し、レーザダイオード835は波長650nmのレーザ光を出射する。レーザ光の一部は、コリメータレンズ836、ビームスプリッタ837、集光レンズ838を経て、パワーモニタ839にてパワーがモニタされる。モニタしたパワーをコントローラ801にフィードバックすることで、光ディスク100のガイド層に集光するレーザ光の強度が、たとえば3mWなど所望のパワーに保持される。 Similarly to the 405 nm optical system, the laser driver 821 drives the laser diode 835, and the laser diode 835 emits laser light having a wavelength of 650 nm. A part of the laser light passes through a collimator lens 836, a beam splitter 837, and a condenser lens 838, and the power is monitored by a power monitor 839. By feeding back the monitored power to the controller 801, the intensity of the laser light focused on the guide layer of the optical disc 100 is maintained at a desired power such as 3 mW.
 ビームスプリッタ837を透過したレーザ光は、偏光ビームスプリッタ840を透過し、リレーレンズ841にて収束・発散の制御が行われる。リレーレンズ841を経たレーザ光は、ダイクロイックミラー828にて反射し、1/4波長板830を経て、対物レンズ844により光ディスク100のガイド層に集光する。光ディスク100にて反射したレーザ光を偏光ビームスプリッタ840にて反射し、集光レンズ842にてディテクタ843に集光する。 The laser beam that has passed through the beam splitter 837 passes through the polarization beam splitter 840, and the convergence / divergence is controlled by the relay lens 841. The laser light that has passed through the relay lens 841 is reflected by the dichroic mirror 828, passes through the quarter-wave plate 830, and is condensed on the guide layer of the optical disc 100 by the objective lens 844. The laser beam reflected by the optical disc 100 is reflected by the polarization beam splitter 840 and condensed on the detector 843 by the condenser lens 842.
 ディテクタ843から出力された信号は、信号処理部802、トラッキング誤差信号生成手段815、リレーレンズ誤差信号生成手段818へとそれぞれ出力される。信号処理部802は、ディテクタ843から入力された信号に基づいてウォブル信号を生成し、コントローラ801へ出力する。 The signal output from the detector 843 is output to the signal processing unit 802, tracking error signal generation means 815, and relay lens error signal generation means 818, respectively. The signal processing unit 802 generates a wobble signal based on the signal input from the detector 843 and outputs the wobble signal to the controller 801.
 トラッキング誤差信号生成手段815は、ディテクタ843から出力された信号から、光ディスク100のガイド層に対するトラッキング誤差信号を生成する。トラッキング制御手段816はコントローラ801からの指令信号により、トラッキング誤差信号に応じたトラッキング駆動信号を生成する。トラッキング駆動手段817はトラッキング駆動信号に応じてアクチュエータ832をディスクの半径方向に駆動する。 The tracking error signal generating means 815 generates a tracking error signal for the guide layer of the optical disc 100 from the signal output from the detector 843. The tracking control unit 816 generates a tracking drive signal corresponding to the tracking error signal in response to a command signal from the controller 801. The tracking drive means 817 drives the actuator 832 in the radial direction of the disk according to the tracking drive signal.
 上述したようにトラッキング制御手段816とトラッキング駆動手段817が動作することで、光ディスク100のガイド層に照射されたレーザスポットが常にガイド層上のトラックを追従するようにトラッキング制御が行われる。 As described above, the tracking control unit 816 and the tracking driving unit 817 operate, so that the tracking control is performed so that the laser spot irradiated on the guide layer of the optical disc 100 always follows the track on the guide layer.
 また、リレーレンズ誤差信号生成手段818は、ディテクタ843から出力された信号から、光ディスク100のガイド層に対するフォーカス方向の誤差信号であるリレーレンズ誤差信号を生成する。リレーレンズ制御手段819はコントローラ801からの指令信号により、リレーレンズ誤差信号に応じたリレーレンズ駆動信号を生成する。リレーレンズ駆動手段820はリレーレンズ駆動信号に応じてリレーレンズ841を駆動する。リレーレンズ841を駆動することで、ガイド層に対して合焦するレーザスポットの合焦位置が変化し、記録層とガイド層の位置の差異を補償することができる。 Further, the relay lens error signal generation means 818 generates a relay lens error signal that is an error signal in the focus direction with respect to the guide layer of the optical disc 100 from the signal output from the detector 843. The relay lens control unit 819 generates a relay lens driving signal corresponding to the relay lens error signal in response to a command signal from the controller 801. The relay lens driving means 820 drives the relay lens 841 according to the relay lens driving signal. By driving the relay lens 841, the focus position of the laser spot focused on the guide layer changes, and the difference in position between the recording layer and the guide layer can be compensated.
 上述したようにリレーレンズ制御手段819とリレーレンズ駆動手段820が動作することで、光ディスク100のガイド層に照射されたレーザスポットが常にガイド層で合焦するようにリレーレンズ制御が行われる。またスライダ駆動手段806、収差補正駆動手段807、スピンドル制御手段810に関しても、コントローラ801からの指令信号により動作する。 As described above, when the relay lens control unit 819 and the relay lens driving unit 820 operate, the relay lens control is performed so that the laser spot irradiated on the guide layer of the optical disc 100 is always focused on the guide layer. The slider driving unit 806, the aberration correction driving unit 807, and the spindle control unit 810 are also operated by a command signal from the controller 801.
 なお、ここではレーザダイオード822とレーザダイオード835を駆動するために同一のレーザドライバ821を用いたが、それぞれのレーザダイオードに固有のレーザドライバを備えても良い。また、球面収差補正素子829は、405nmの光学系および650nmの光学系の両方に影響する位置に配置されてもよく、たとえば1/4波長板830とダイクロイックミラー828の間に設置しても良い。 Note that, here, the same laser driver 821 is used to drive the laser diode 822 and the laser diode 835, but each laser diode may be provided with a unique laser driver. The spherical aberration correction element 829 may be disposed at a position that affects both the 405 nm optical system and the 650 nm optical system. For example, the spherical aberration correction element 829 may be disposed between the quarter-wave plate 830 and the dichroic mirror 828. .
 図11は、図10のディテクタ843および信号処理部802によるウォブル信号の生成方法の例を示す図である。ディテクタ843は、a、b、c、dの4つのエレメントから構成されており、ウォブルの情報を含んだレーザ光901を受光する。信号処理部802はそれぞれのエレメントからの入力信号に対し、(a+d)-(b+c)の演算を行うことでウォブル信号を生成する。なお、図11では4分割されたディテクタの例を示したが、aとd、bとcのエレメントをそれぞれ一体として、両者の信号の差を取ってもよい。 FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wobble signal generation method by the detector 843 and the signal processing unit 802 in FIG. The detector 843 includes four elements a, b, c, and d, and receives a laser beam 901 including wobble information. The signal processing unit 802 performs a calculation of (a + d) − (b + c) on the input signal from each element to generate a wobble signal. Although FIG. 11 shows an example of the detector divided into four, the elements a and d and b and c may be integrated, and the difference between both signals may be taken.
 図12は、図10のコントローラ801にて入力されたウォブル信号から記録クロックを生成する方法の例を示した図である。本実施例では、周波数選択手段1001に入力されるウォブル信号が、図4や図8などに示したように複数の周波数成分を含む場合について説明する。 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a method for generating a recording clock from the wobble signal input by the controller 801 in FIG. In the present embodiment, a case where the wobble signal input to the frequency selection unit 1001 includes a plurality of frequency components as shown in FIGS. 4 and 8 will be described.
 周波数選択手段1001は、入力されたウォブル信号から所望の周波数成分のみを選択し、位相比較器1002に出力する。周波数選択手段1001としては、たとえば周波数フィルタが考えられる。位相比較器1002は、周波数選択手段1001と分周器1005の出力信号の周波数の差異に応じた信号をループフィルタ1003に出力する。ループフィルタ1003はフィードバック回路の発振を抑制するためのものであり、適当なローパスフィルタを用いる。VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator)1004は、入力された電圧に応じて出力する信号の周波数を変化させる。分周器1005はVCO1004の信号周波数を整数分の一として位相比較器1002に出力する。 The frequency selection unit 1001 selects only a desired frequency component from the input wobble signal and outputs it to the phase comparator 1002. As the frequency selection means 1001, for example, a frequency filter can be considered. The phase comparator 1002 outputs a signal corresponding to the frequency difference between the output signals of the frequency selection unit 1001 and the frequency divider 1005 to the loop filter 1003. The loop filter 1003 is for suppressing oscillation of the feedback circuit, and an appropriate low-pass filter is used. A VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) 1004 changes the frequency of an output signal in accordance with the input voltage. The frequency divider 1005 outputs the signal frequency of the VCO 1004 to the phase comparator 1002 as an integral fraction.
 以上のように、複数の周波数を含むウォブル信号に対して周波数選択手段1002を用いることで、分周器1005の設定が固定であっても複数の記録クロックをVCO1004から出力することが可能となる。たとえば、ウォブル信号が図5に示したような周波数スペクトルをもち、f1=3.6MHz、f2=3.8Hz、f3=4.0MHzである場合、分周器1005の設定を1/69に固定し周波数選択手段1002の設定を切り替えることで、それぞれ250MHz、264MHz、278MHzの記録クロックを生成できることになる。光ディスクの回転速度を一定に保つと、これらはそれぞれ一層あたりたとえば31.7GB、33.4GB、35.1GBの記録密度に対応する。すなわち、光ディスク100の各記録層に対してそれぞれ異なる所定の記録密度で記録することができる。 As described above, by using the frequency selection unit 1002 for a wobble signal including a plurality of frequencies, a plurality of recording clocks can be output from the VCO 1004 even if the setting of the frequency divider 1005 is fixed. . For example, when the wobble signal has a frequency spectrum as shown in FIG. 5 and f1 = 3.6 MHz, f2 = 3.8 Hz, and f3 = 4.0 MHz, the setting of the frequency divider 1005 is fixed to 1/69. By switching the setting of the frequency selection means 1002, recording clocks of 250 MHz, 264 MHz, and 278 MHz can be generated, respectively. If the rotation speed of the optical disk is kept constant, these correspond to recording densities of, for example, 31.7 GB, 33.4 GB, and 35.1 GB, respectively. That is, it is possible to record with different predetermined recording densities on each recording layer of the optical disc 100.
 なお、周波数選択手段1002と組み合わせることで、生成する記録クロック周波数の設定分解能が向上するため、分周器1005の設定を固定せず、所望の記録密度に応じて変化させてもよい。 In addition, since the setting resolution of the recording clock frequency to be generated is improved by combining with the frequency selection means 1002, the setting of the frequency divider 1005 may be changed according to a desired recording density.
 図13は、光ディスク装置800に光ディスク100を挿入してから記録を行うまでの光ディスク装置101の処理フローの例である。S1201で光ディスク100を光ディスク装置800に挿入すると、S1202で光ディスク装置800はディスクの有無の確認やディスク種別の確認を行う。 FIG. 13 is an example of a processing flow of the optical disc apparatus 101 from the insertion of the optical disc 100 into the optical disc apparatus 800 until recording is performed. When the optical disc 100 is inserted into the optical disc apparatus 800 in S1201, the optical disc apparatus 800 checks the presence / absence of a disc and disc type in S1202.
 このとき、たとえば光ディスク装置800は光ディスク100にレーザ光を照射して、反射光によって認識を行うことができる。次にS1203では、挿入された光ディスク100に対して、光ディスク装置800内の各種パラメータを好適するための調整処理を行う。各種パラメータとは、たとえばフォーカス制御手段813やトラッキング制御手段816内に含まれる増幅器の増幅率を光ディスク100の反射率にあわせて調節することなどが挙げられる。 At this time, for example, the optical disc apparatus 800 can irradiate the optical disc 100 with laser light and perform recognition by reflected light. Next, in S1203, adjustment processing for optimizing various parameters in the optical disc apparatus 800 is performed on the inserted optical disc 100. Examples of the various parameters include adjusting the amplification factor of the amplifier included in the focus control unit 813 and the tracking control unit 816 according to the reflectance of the optical disc 100.
 各種調整を行った後、S1204で光ディスク100の管理情報を読み出し、各記録層における記録密度または選択すべきウォブル周波数成分を得る。S1205まで処理が進むと、記録または再生可能な状態となり、ホスト803からのコマンドに応じて記録または再生を行うことができる。S1206にてホスト803から記録コマンドを受け取ると、S1204で読み出した管理情報に基づいて記録層および記録密度を確定する。S1207にて、前述した方法にしたがってウォブル信号から記録密度に応じた記録クロックを生成する。S1208にて所定の記録密度で記録を行う。 After performing various adjustments, the management information of the optical disc 100 is read in S1204, and the recording density in each recording layer or the wobble frequency component to be selected is obtained. When the processing proceeds to S1205, the recording or reproduction is possible, and recording or reproduction can be performed in accordance with a command from the host 803. When a recording command is received from the host 803 in S1206, the recording layer and recording density are determined based on the management information read in S1204. In S1207, a recording clock corresponding to the recording density is generated from the wobble signal according to the method described above. In S1208, recording is performed at a predetermined recording density.
 なお、調整処理S1203のタイミングはこれに限るものではなく、一部の調整処理を管理情報読み出しS1204の後などに行ってもよい。また、S1206の記録密度は光ディスク装置800が決定してもよく、他の光ディスク装置との互換性を確保するため、決定した記録密度を管理情報に記録してもよい。 Note that the timing of the adjustment process S1203 is not limited to this, and a part of the adjustment process may be performed after the management information read S1204. Further, the recording density in S1206 may be determined by the optical disc apparatus 800, and the determined recording density may be recorded in the management information in order to ensure compatibility with other optical disc apparatuses.
 本実施例では、ウォブル周波数が単一周波数成分のみを含む場合の光ディスク装置800の動作について説明する。なお、光ディスク装置800の構成や本実施例に記載した内容以外の動作については実施例3と同様であるので記載を省略する。 In this embodiment, the operation of the optical disc apparatus 800 when the wobble frequency includes only a single frequency component will be described. Since the configuration of the optical disc device 800 and the operations other than those described in the present embodiment are the same as those in the third embodiment, description thereof is omitted.
 この場合には図12において分周器1005の設定を固定せず、1/65、1/69、1/73とすることで、それぞれ249MHz、264MHz、279MHzの記録クロックが得られる。これらは一層あたりたとえば31.5GB、33.4GB、35.3GBの記録密度に対応する。 In this case, recording clocks of 249 MHz, 264 MHz, and 279 MHz can be obtained by fixing the setting of the frequency divider 1005 in FIG. 12 to 1/65, 1/69, and 1/73, respectively. These correspond to recording densities of, for example, 31.5 GB, 33.4 GB and 35.3 GB per layer.
 以上のようにして、ウォブル周波数が単一周波数成分のみを含む場合においても、光ディスク100の各記録層に対してそれぞれ異なる所定の記録密度で記録することができる。 As described above, even when the wobble frequency includes only a single frequency component, it is possible to record with different predetermined recording densities on each recording layer of the optical disc 100.
