Abstract: An optical storage system includes an optical head and a controller. The optical head is configured to split a light beam into a higher power main beam and a lower power side beam. The controller is configured to write data to an optical medium via the higher power main beam, and read, directly after writing, feedback from the optical medium containing the written data and noise caused by the higher power main beam. The controller is also configured to process the feedback using data indicative of the higher power main beam to remove the noise and generate output indicative of the written data, and automatically adjust a delay of the feedback or the data indicative of the higher power main beam based on a signal quality of the output.

Abstract: An optical storage system includes an optical head and controller arrangement. The arrangement is configured to write data to an optical medium via a higher power main beam, to read, directly after writing, feedback from the medium containing the written data and noise resulting from the higher power main beam, to remove the noise from the feedback by dividing the feedback with data indicative of the higher power main beam, and to generate output indicative of the written data.

Abstract: An optical storage system includes an optical head configured to split a light beam into a higher power main beam and a lower power side beam. The system also includes a controller. The controller is configured to modulate the higher power main beam according to writing commands to write to an optical medium while processing first data resulting from the lower power side beam being reflected from the medium and second data obtained from a look-up table that maps the writing commands to digital representations of filtered writing strategy waveforms to remove noise from the first data caused by the higher power main beam and generate output indicative of written data directly after writing.
