GLOSSARY |
|
|
ATIP |
Absolute Time in Pre-groove. With an additional modulation of the “Wobble”, the “Groove” contains a time |
|
code information. |
|
|
Wobble |
The pre-groove in the Disc is not a perfect spiral but is wobbled. |
|
With : – A typical amplitude of 30 nm |
|
– A spatial peried of 54~64 µm |
|
|
CW |

|
|
DOW |
Direct Over-Write. The action in which new information is recored over previously recorded information in |
|
CD-RW disc. |
|
|
Overwrite |
The action in which new information is recorded over previously recorded information. |
|
|
(Pre-)Groove |
The guidance track in which clocking and time code information is stored by means of an FM |
|
modulated wobble. |
|
|
Land |
Land is characterized in the following way: |
|
When radial signals are concerned,land is defined as the area between the grooves. |
|
When HF signal are concerned,land is defined as the area between the marks(pits) in tangential |
|
direction. |
|
|
Hybrid Disc |
A Multisession disc of which the first Session is mastered. On a hybrid disc, recorded and |
|
mastered information may co-exist. |

The action in which (partially) unrecorded or logically erased tracks are finished and the Lead-in |
|
and/or Lead-out areas are recorded or overwritten with the appropriate TOC subcode. |
|
|
Logical Erase |
A method to remove information from a disc area by overwriting it with an EFM signal containing |
|
mode 0 subcode |
|
A logically erased area is equivalent to an unrecorded |
|
|
Physical Erase |
The action in which previously recorded information is erased by overwriting with a CW laser |
|
output. |
|
After a Physical Erase action, the erased area on the CD-RW disc is in the unrecorded state |
|
again. |
|

•It is composed of polycarbonate layer, alloy(silver, arsenic) layer, aluminum reflectivity layer, protective layer.
•An crystalized alloy layer is transformed into noncrystalized by the laser heat. Therefore, writing and reading is enabled by the difference of reflectivity.
•It is possible to overwrite about 1000 times.
•Laser Wavelength : 780 nm, Laser Power (Read) : 1.0mW
•Recording Power : Erase (4~12mW), Write (6~25mW)
•When disc rewriting, new data is overwritten previously recorded data.
•Polycarbonate layer has a Pre-Groove which make a track.

8. Function of PCA and PMA area
1)PCA (Power Calibration Area)
•PCA area is used to determine the correct Laser Power for a disc.
–Method 1 : PCA area is divided by a track.
–Method 2 : The previous Calibration value is referred.
–Method 3 : ROPC is used to determine Laser Power value automatically in data writing.
•CD-R Disc can write maximum 99 Tracks but CD-RW Disc can write unlimited tracks because it has a rewritable function.
2)PMA (Program Memory Area)
•It has a track information (track No, track Start/End time) of every track before writing completed.
–PMA area has the last written point and the next writable point of a disc.
–In case of CD to CD copy, some writer may not write PMA area.
* When Disc is Finalized,
PMA information is transferred to the Lead_In area so that general Driver can read it.
* Because PCA and PMA area exist before Lead-In area, General CD Player or CD-ROM Drive can’t read these areas.
9. OPC and ROPC
1)OPC (Optimum Power Control)
•This is the first step of writing process, because CD writer has its own laser power value and media have different writing characteristics,
–This is determined by the Writing characteristic, speed, temperature, and humidity.
–Laser wavelength is determined by the environmental temperature (775~795nm) and Optical Laser Power is determined by the test and retry.
•Asymmetry and optimum writing Power
–EFM signal Asymmetry is determined by the writing power.
Therefore, Optical Power which has the same value to the preset power value can be estimated by measuring HF signal Asymmetry on the PCA area.
•Measurement of Asymmetry
*Parameter setting (Beta) : Using AC coupled HF signal before equalization Beta = (A1+A2)/(A1-A2)
