Patent number: 7283445Abstract: A signal detection sections detect the light intensity modulated by the phase pits as ROM signals from the return lights of an optical storage medium that has phase pits and a recording layer to simultaneously regenerate data in the ROM and RAM, and detect the RAM signals where the return lights were modulated by the recording film. A feedback circuit reduces the cross-talk of the phase pits of the RAM signals of the recording film by feeding back the ROM signals to the laser drive current of the laser element, and a circuit for adjusting the feedback circuit so as to present a constant cross-talk suppression effect regardless the temperature change of the laser element. Since the feedback gain is changed by changing the laser temperature, an RF feedback gain, with which MO signals are not deteriorated by the change of the laser temperature, can be set.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2005Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Satoshi Yamashita

Publication number: 20070230014Abstract: A heater for changing a projection distance protrusion value by thermal expansion accompanying electric-power-distributed heating is embedded in a head having a reading element and a recording element. A clearance control information measurement unit measures and saves, at desired correction timing, clearance control information including a clearance required for controlling the clearance between the reading element and the recording medium, heater projection sensitivity protrusion sensitivity, projection distance protrusion value transition time, recording current projection distance protrusion value, and a temperature correction coefficient. The clearance control unit varies the electric power distributed to the heater and changes the projection distance protrusion value of the head, thereby controlling the clearance to a target clearance upon reproduction and recording.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Satoshi Yamashita, Shunji Saitou, Yukio Abe, Shigenori Yanagi

Publication number: 20070230015Abstract: A heater for changing a projection distance protrusion value by thermal expansion accompanying electric-power-distributed heating is provided in a head having at least a reading element. At desired correction timing, a changed distance detection unit measures a clearance changed distance in a state in which the head is positioned to a track on the recording medium while increasing the amount of electric power distributed to the heater. A contact determination unit determines that the head is brought into contact with the recording medium when a derivative value of the clearance changed distance is below a predetermined threshold value. A measurement output unit outputs the clearance changed distance detected by the changed distance detection unit at the time of contact determination of the contact determination unit as a measurement result of the clearance between the reading element and the recording medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Inventors: Satoshi Yamashita, Shunji Saitou, Yukio Abe, Shigenori Yanagi
