Abstract: A sufficient S/N ratio in reproduction of an optical disk is achieved without complexing a circuit structure even if a data recording speed relative to the optical disk is increased. When data is recorded into an optical disk (DK), in an information recording and reproduction device (RP), both a first light beam and a second light beam are emitted at the same time. A sub-actuator section (20) is provided in addition to a main actuator (15) for correcting the displacement of light collecting spots caused by the displacement between the optical axis of the first beam and the optical axis of the second beam. Only the optical axis of the second light beam is adjusted by the sub-actuator section (20).

Abstract: In each stage, multiple parallel nonlinear transformation modules each perform local lower-level diffusion, then a diffusion module performs higher-level diffusion over the block width and multiple parallel nonlinear transformation modules each perform local lower-level diffusion. This operation is repeated a predetermined number of times corresponding to the number of stages. Each nonlinear transformation module is formed into the nested SPN structure by arranging alternately nonlinear transformation modules and a diffusion module. The diffusion module performs linear transformation for spreading the state of at least one bit in input data to the preceding nonlinear transformation modules to at least one bit in input data to the succeeding nonlinear transformation modules.
