The embodiments are described below to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.
[28] A method of recording/reproducing data on/from an information storage medium having a plurality of recording layers according to the present invention allows data to be prerecorded on a portion of another recording layer through which a recording beam passes when irradiating a target recording layer with the beam to record the data.
[29] A recordable information storage medium performs optimum power control (OPC) prior to recording data in order to find the optimal recording power. To perform OPC, data is written in an OPC area at a predetermined recording power and read back to test the reproducing characteristics. Before performing OPC, data is recorded on a region through which a beam for OPC passes.
[30] When OPC is implemented in a recordable information storage medium having a plurality of recording layers, recording/reproducing characteristics after recording data may vary from one recording layer to another, for example, depending on the recording sequence or recording power. Since these variations may lead to inaccuracy in OPC, it is necessary to detect conditions that may cause recording/reproducing char-acteristics to change depending on the state of each recording layer and perform OPC
considering the detected conditions.
considering the detected conditions.
[31] To find conditions that affect the data recording/reproducing characteristics, ex-periments were made to write data on an information storage medium having first and second recording layers L1 and L2 as shown in FIG. 1 in a different order and at different recording power levels.
[32] Recording conditions of the information storage medium are a linear velocity of 3.8 m/s, laser wavelength of 650 nm, and objective lens numerical aperture (NA) of 0.60. The information storage medium uses multipulse. That is, while recording power of 15.1 mW, Ttop of 1.45 T, Tmp of 0.65 T, and Tdtp 3T of -0.03T are used for the first recording layer L1, recording power of 20mW, Ttop of 1.65T, Tmp of 0.70T, Tdtp 3T of -0.03T are used for the second recording layer L2. Ttop, Tmp, and Tdtp denote the duration of a top pulse, the duration of each pulse in the multipulse train, and time shifted from reference, respectively. A negative sign (-) in Tdtp means Tdtp is shifted to the left. Here, basic recording conditions are set as recording power and write strategy adjusted for minimum jitter by writing data only on a desired recording layer, and 1T denotes 38.5 ns.
[33] Table 1 shows jitters, 13/114 (modulations), asymmetries, and reflectivities measured after writing data on the first and second recording layers L1 and L2 under the above-mentioned conditions. As shown in FIG. 1, a pickup is located closer to the first recording layer L1, and reference numeral 10 denotes an objective lens.

That is, when data is written sequentially from the first recording layer L1 to the second recording layer L2, the second recording layer L2 suffers from large variations in jitter, asymmetry, and reflectivity.
When data is written in the reverse order, the second recording layer L2 suffers from less variation in these characteristics.

When data is written in the reverse order, the second recording layer L2 suffers from less variation in these characteristics.
[37] Thus, to reduce variations in the recording/reproducing characteristics, data must be sequentially recorded from the first recording layer L1 to the second recording layer L2. Furthermore, data has been recorded on a region of the first recording layer L1 through which a recording beam passes before recording data on the second recording layer L2.
[38] Table 2 shows recording/reproducing characteristics measured after data is written at recording powers that are 120% and 150% of the normal power. During OPC, a test is performed at different recording power levels to determine an optimum recording power value. In particular, since the information storage medium once used for a pre-determined period of time may require recording power to be higher than normal power due to surface contamination, it is necessary to perform the test at higher power.

As compared against recording at normal power, the jitter increases but reflectivity and asymmetry remains almost constant.

As compared against recording at normal power, the jitter increases but reflectivity and asymmetry remains almost constant.
[42] As shown in Tables 1 and 2 above, the first recording layer L1 is little affected by recording sequence or recording power whereas the second recording layer L2 is sig-nificantly affected by the same. In particular, when data is written sequentially on the first and second recording layers L1 and L2, the second recording layer L2 suffers from great variations in the recording/reproducing characteristics. These variations result from transmittance that may change depending on whether a recording beam passes through a recorded or unrecorded portion of a recording layer. Low transmittance reduces the effect of recording power.
[43] Meanwhile, it is necessary to perform a test under the conditions that cause great variations in recording/reproducing characteristics. That is, if there is little change in the recording/reproducing characteristics under any conditions, it is possible to find the accurate optimum recording power without any special test conditions for determining the same. However, if the recording/reproducing characteristics vary according to the recording conditions, a test needs to be performed under conditions that cause large variations in the characteristics in order to determine the optimum recording power.
[44] Thus, when a test beam is emitted in order to find the optimum recording power, it is preferable that data has been written on at least a portion of a recording layer through which the test beam passes.
[45] Referring to FIG. 1, an information storage medium according to the present invention includes a first recording layer L1 comprising a lead-in area 10-L1, a user data area 20-L1, and a lead-out area 30-L1, a second recording layer L2 comprising a lead-in area 10-L2, a user data area 20-L2, and a lead-out area 30-L2, and a space layer 15 interposed between the first and second recording layers L1 and L2. Before recording data or performing OPC on the second recording layer L2, data is recorded on a portion of the first recording layer L1 through which a recording or test beam passes.
[46] Referring to FIG. 2, an information storage medium D includes first and second recording layers L1 and L2, and a pickup 50 for recording data is disposed adjacent the first recording layer L1. Before a recording beam or a test beam is irradiated in order to record data or perform OPC on the second recording layer L2, respectively, data is recorded on a portion of the first recording layer L1 through which the recording beam or the test beam passes. In this case, data may be recorded on tracks contained in the portion of the first recording layer L1 through which the recording beam or the test beam passes.
[47] Referring to FIG. 1, a number of tracks on the first recording layer L1 irradiated by the test beam when recording on the second recording layer L2 is given by Equation (1):

[50] When n and NA denote a refractive index of the information storage medium and a numerical aperture of the objective lens 10, respectively, using relational expression NA=nsin 0, Equation (1) may be rewritten as Equation (2):

(2) [52] Data may be written on an area of the first recording layer L1 corresponding to the number of tracks defined by Equation (2) before irradiating the second recording layer L2 with a test beam for OPC or a recording beam. Where SL tan 0= 41.25( m) and TP=0.74 m, the number of tracks contained in the recording beam or the test beam is about 112.

(2) [52] Data may be written on an area of the first recording layer L1 corresponding to the number of tracks defined by Equation (2) before irradiating the second recording layer L2 with a test beam for OPC or a recording beam. Where SL tan 0= 41.25( m) and TP=0.74 m, the number of tracks contained in the recording beam or the test beam is about 112.
[53] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 3, user data area 20-L2 may include unrecorded regions on the innermost and outermost circumferences, each region containing a number X of tracks affected by the first recording layer L1 when recording data on the second recording layer L2 as described above.
[54] Thus, a recorded region in the user data area 20-L2 of the second recording layer L1 is smaller than that in the user data area 20-L1 of the first recording layer L1. More specifically, data are not recorded to regions containing X tracks on the inner and outer circumferences of the user data area 20-L2. The number X of tracks is given by Equation (3):
[55]
,5'Ltan [ sin 1 ~ NA
N Limber of Tra&,s corresponding to X= n TF
... (3) [56] Thus, the number of tracks corresponding to X on the second recording layer L2 is one-half the number of tracks through which the light beam passes at the first recording layer. While FIG. 3 shows the dual layer information storage medium with the first and second recording layers L1 and L2, the same structure is applicable to an information storage medium having three or more recording layers.
,5'Ltan [ sin 1 ~ NA
N Limber of Tra&,s corresponding to X= n TF
... (3) [56] Thus, the number of tracks corresponding to X on the second recording layer L2 is one-half the number of tracks through which the light beam passes at the first recording layer. While FIG. 3 shows the dual layer information storage medium with the first and second recording layers L1 and L2, the same structure is applicable to an information storage medium having three or more recording layers.
[57] Referring to FIG. 4, an information storage medium includes a first recording layer L1 comprising a lead-in area 10-L1, a user data area 20-L1, and a lead-out area 30-L1, a second recording layer L2 comprising a lead-in area 10-L2, a user data area 20-L2, and a lead-out area 30-L2, a third recording layer L3 comprising a lead-in area 10-L3, a user data area 20-L3, and a lead-out area 30-L3, and a fourth recording layer L4 comprising a lead-in area 10-L4, a user data area 20-L4, and a lead-out area 30-L4.
Data are not recorded on regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of the user data areas 20-L2, 20-L3, and 20-L4, the regions containing X1, X2, and X3 tracks, respectively.
Data are not recorded on regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of the user data areas 20-L2, 20-L3, and 20-L4, the regions containing X1, X2, and X3 tracks, respectively.
[58] Here, the size of a recorded region in a user data area decreases as a recording layer is farther away from a surface on which a beam is incident. In other words, the size of an unrecorded region increases as a recording layer is farther away from the surface on which the beam is incident (X3>X2>X1).
[59] While the size of a recorded region varies for each recording layer as described above, the size of recorded regions in user data areas of the remaining recording layers may be made equal to that in the user data area of a recording layer farthest away from the surface on which the recording beam is incident. For example, when data is not recorded on regions on the inner and outer circumferences of the user data area 20-L4 in the fourth recording layer L4, each region containing X3 tracks, data may not be recorded on regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of the second and third recording layers L2 and L3, each region containing X3 tracks.
[60] FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic layout of a dual layer information storage medium according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.
5, an in-formation storage medium includes first and second recording layers L1 and L2, and the size of a recorded region in a user data area decreases as a recording layer is farther away from the surface on which a beam is incident. Furthermore, the sizes of a lead-in area and a lead-out area each increase as the recording layer is farther away from the surface on which a beam is incident. That is, when a recording beam or a test beam is incident first on the first recording layer L1, a user data area 20-L1 on the first recording layer L1 is larger than a user data area 20-L2 on the secondrecording layer L2, and a lead-in area 10-L1 and a lead-out area 30-L1 on the first recording layer L1 each are smaller than the counterparts 10-L2 and 30-L2 on the second recording layer L2. The user data area 20-L2 on the second recording layer L2 may be equal to the user data area 20-L1 on the first recording layer L1 minus areas corresponding to X on the inner and outer circumferences of the user data area 20-L1.
5, an in-formation storage medium includes first and second recording layers L1 and L2, and the size of a recorded region in a user data area decreases as a recording layer is farther away from the surface on which a beam is incident. Furthermore, the sizes of a lead-in area and a lead-out area each increase as the recording layer is farther away from the surface on which a beam is incident. That is, when a recording beam or a test beam is incident first on the first recording layer L1, a user data area 20-L1 on the first recording layer L1 is larger than a user data area 20-L2 on the secondrecording layer L2, and a lead-in area 10-L1 and a lead-out area 30-L1 on the first recording layer L1 each are smaller than the counterparts 10-L2 and 30-L2 on the second recording layer L2. The user data area 20-L2 on the second recording layer L2 may be equal to the user data area 20-L1 on the first recording layer L1 minus areas corresponding to X on the inner and outer circumferences of the user data area 20-L1.
[61] The same structure is also applicable to an information storage medium having three or more recording layers. FIG. 6 illustrates a schematic layout of a quadruple layer information storage medium including first through fourth recording layers L1-L4 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. When a recording beam is first incident on the first recording layer L1, the size of a user data area decreases as a recording layer moves farther away from the surface on which the beam is incident (20-L1>20-L2>20-L3>20-L4) while the sizes of lead-in area and lead-out area each increase as a recording layer moves farther away from the same direction (10-L1<10-L2<10-L3<10-L4 and 30-L1<30-L2<30-L3<30-L4).
[62] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 7A, first and second recording layers L1 and L2 re-spectively include OPC regions 13-L1 and 13-L2 in either or both lead-in and lead-out areas. Before performing OPC on a desired recording layer, data is recorded on at least a portion of a recording layer through which a test beam for finding optimum recording power passes.
[63] A recorded region in an OPC area of a desired recording layer is smaller than that in an OPC area of the underlying recording layer. Referring to FIG. 7A, for example, a recorded region 14-L2 in the OPC area 13-L2 of the second recording layer L2 is smaller than a recorded region 14-L1 in the OPC area 13-L1 of the first recording layer L1. An unrecorded region in the OPC area 13-L2 corresponds to the number of tracks X (See Equation (3)) contained in a test beam.
[64] Alternatively, the first and second recording layers L1 and L2 each may have OPC
areas separately from a lead-in area and a lead-out area. For example, the OPC
areas each may be located inside the lead-in area and outside the lead-out area.
areas separately from a lead-in area and a lead-out area. For example, the OPC
areas each may be located inside the lead-in area and outside the lead-out area.
[65] The location of a recorded region 14-L2 in an OPC area 13-L2 of a second recording layer L2 shown in FIG. 7B is different from that shown in FIG. 7A.
[66] According to a method for recording/reproducing data on/from an information storage medium having a plurality of recording layers according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, data is recorded using a pickup in the order of recording layers from closest to farthest from the pickup.
[67] The size of a recorded region in a user data area decreases in the order of recording layers from closest to farthest from the pickup. Each recording layer also has a lead-in area and a lead-out area on the inner and outer circumferences of a user data area, re-spectively, whose sizes increase as the recording layer is farther away from the pickup.
[68] Alternatively, data may be recorded on a user data area of a recording layer on which a recording beam is first incident and then on a user data area of an overlying recording layer except for the inner and outer circumferences. Thereby, the size of a recorded region in a user data area may decrease farther away from the recording layer on which the recording beam is first incident.
[69] When performing an OPC test before recording user data, data for the test is recorded in the order of recording layers from closest to farthest from the pickup.
Except for a recording layer closest to the pickup, data is not recorded on pre-determined regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of an OPC
area of the recording layer on which a write operation is about to begin. Therefore, the size of a recorded region in an OPC area decreases as a recording layer is farther away from the pickup.
Except for a recording layer closest to the pickup, data is not recorded on pre-determined regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of an OPC
area of the recording layer on which a write operation is about to begin. Therefore, the size of a recorded region in an OPC area decreases as a recording layer is farther away from the pickup.
[70] In a DVD-ROM drive, a pickup is disposed adjacent a first recording layer and data is written from the first recording layer to the second recording layer.
To maintain consistency with the DVD-ROM disk, the recordable information storage medium according to the present invention may be arranged to allow data to sequentially be recorded from the first recording layer L1 to the second recording layer L2.
To maintain consistency with the DVD-ROM disk, the recordable information storage medium according to the present invention may be arranged to allow data to sequentially be recorded from the first recording layer L1 to the second recording layer L2.
[71] The same method for recording/reproducing data according to the present invention is applicable when the pickup is located adjacent the second recording layer L2. That is, data is first recorded on the second recording layer L2. Before performing OPC for recording on the first recording layer L1, data is recorded on at least a portion of the second recording layer L2 through which a test beam passes.
[72] Furthermore, the method is applicable to both opposite track path (OTP) and parallel track path (PTP) disks. While the present invention has been described with reference to a dual layer information storage medium, the method is applicable to a multi-layer medium having three or more recording layers.
[73] Referring to FIG. 2, an apparatus (i.e., a disk drive) for recording/reproducing data on/from an information storage medium D according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pickup 50, a recording/reproducing signal processor 60, and a controller 70. More specifically, the pickup 50 includes a laser diode 51 that emits a beam, a collimating lens 52 that collimates the beam emitted by the laser diode 51 to a parallel beam, a beam splitter 54 that changes the propagation path of an incident beam, and an objective lens 56 that focuses the beam passing through the beam splitter 54 onto the information storage medium D.
[74] The beam reflected from the information storage medium D is reflected by the beam splitter 54 and is incident on the photodetector 57 (e.g. a quadrant pho-todetector). The beam received by the photodetector 57 is converted into an electrical signal by an operational circuit 58 and output as an RF or sum signal through channel Chl and as a push-pull signal through a differential signal channel Ch2.
[75] The controller 70 controls the pickup 50 to record data and to reduce data area in the order of recording layers from closest to farthest from the pickup 50.
Also, the controller 70 controls the pickup 50 not to record data on predetermined regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of a user data area of a recording layer on which data is being recorded except the recording layer closest to the pickup 50. Al-ternatively, the sizes of a lead-in area and a lead-out area may increase in the order of recording layers from closest to farthest from the pickup 50. Here, the size of an unrecorded region or a difference in the capacity of data to be recorded on a user data area between adjacent recording layers may correspond to the number X of tracks that passes over a recording beam as described above.
Also, the controller 70 controls the pickup 50 not to record data on predetermined regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of a user data area of a recording layer on which data is being recorded except the recording layer closest to the pickup 50. Al-ternatively, the sizes of a lead-in area and a lead-out area may increase in the order of recording layers from closest to farthest from the pickup 50. Here, the size of an unrecorded region or a difference in the capacity of data to be recorded on a user data area between adjacent recording layers may correspond to the number X of tracks that passes over a recording beam as described above.
[76] The controller 70 performs a test on a test area in the information storage medium D to determine the optimum recording power before recording on the information storage medium D having the first and second recording layers L1 and L2. The controller 70 also controls the pickup 50 not to record data on predetermined regions located on the inner and outer circumferences of an OPC area of a recording layer on which data is being recorded during OPC except for a recording layer on which data is recorded for the first time.
[77] The controller 70 allows a recording beam to be irradiated from the pickup 50 at normal power obtained during the test, so that data may be recorded on the information storage medium D using the recording beam.
[78] In order to reproduce the thus recorded data, a beam reflected from the information storage medium D passes through the objective lens 56 and the beam splitter 54 and is incident on the photodetector 57. The beam input to the photodetector 57 is then converted into an electrical signal by the operational circuit 58 and output as an RF
signal.
signal.
