Abstract

See full text

During recording or reading of data in an optical record carrier such as a disc, focus is optimized by adding a focus offset signal to the focus servo error signal. Each frame contains pre-formatted control marks in a servo field, and reference data marks recorded there at a time of data recording. The focus offset signal is optimized by spacing the reference data marks a distance as close as any data marks between which a zero or non-recorded position must be resolved, and taking samples of the optical readout signal as the optical scanning beam passes over or adjacent the reference marks. Four samples are used, taken between the peaks of the signal corresponding to the two reference data marks.
