In this paper, we describe the accommodation of the PRML technique for the high speed and high density optical disk systems, which has been very effective in the high density HDD systems. To make the PRML technique adequate for the optical disk systems, the channel modeling and the simulation are performed. Finally, the architecture has been designed and realized into an ASIC. We have focused on the differences of PRML architecture between the HDD system and the optical disk system, and the digital realization of the PLL which has been realized with analog circuits.

A digital tracking controller is proposed for a precise positioning control under a large repetitive and/or non repetitive disturbances. The proposed control system. Numerical Examples are illustrated for a precise head positioning of optical disk drives regardless of a torque disturbance and/or output disturbance.

Small form factor optical disks for near-field optics using solid immersion lens were developed. Diamond like carbon film and lubricant film were coated on the small form factor optical disk to enhance the head-disk interface(HDI) characteristics. The disk durability properties in terms of HDI phenomena were investigated by drag test. Disks with glass substrates and the lubricant films experienced heat treatment showed more durable characteristics. Coverlayers made of UV resin were uniformly coated by spin coating in which the ski-jump could be removed by adopting outer ring technique

This paper proposes a new and simple input prediction method for robust servo system. A robust tracking control system for optical disk drives was proposed recently based on both Coprime Factorization (CF) and Zero Phase Error Tracking (ZPET) control. The CF control system can be designed simply and systematically. Moreover, this system has not only stability but also robustness to parameter uncertainties and disturbance rejection capability. Since optical disk tracking servo system can detect only tracking error, it was proposed that the reference input signal for ZPET could be estimated from tracking errors. In this paper, we propose a new control structure for the ZPET controller. It requires less memory than the previously proposed method for the reference signal generation. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed method is effective.

With the increase of storage density, high rotational speed and high access technologies in optical disk drive, mechanical issues, mainly noise and vibration, become critical. Up to now the researches of rubber mount for anti-vibration focused on how to calculate the static and the dynamic stiffness of rubber mount and leaved out of consideration of the dimensional tolerance of rubber mount for anti-vibration. This paper presents the effects of dimensional tolerance of rubber mount for anti-vibration on the dynamic characteristics of optical disk drive by finite element analysis and dynamic test. The relation between dimensional tolerance and dynamic characteristics of optical disk drive is observed and discussed.

As the optical disk drive is getting applied to wider ranges, higher density of media and higher velocity of spindle motor are demanded and therefore its design criterion is becoming more strict. Especially, the vibration problem is one of the most important factors to be considered for reliable performance. In this study, the possibility of the application of the vibration absorber using rubber mount was investigated by 3 dimensional modeling and analysis by Recurdyn program. The model chosen was a vibration absorber using rubber mount installed on the sled base of the optical disk drive.

In optical disk drives, a conventional control method in the presence of surface defect is holding the previous tracking control command. It is known that the method has a long settling time. This paper proposes a new control method which reduces the settling time. An optical head generally has coupled dynamics between focusing and tracking servo system. We present how to compensate the coupled dynamics so that reduced settling time is achieved. It is verified by experiments that the proposed method brings an improved performance in the presence of surface defect as well as in the normal operating condition.

Optical disk drives (ODDs) are subjected to vibrations caused by the high-speed rotation of the optical disk, and these vibrations can be excessive and reduce the read/write performance. Elastic rubber mounts with cushioning materials are often used to minimize these problems. In this paper, the source of vibrations was identified by experimental modal tests and high-speed photography. Structural modifications were made based on a lumped parameter model and a finite element model.

Optical disk system aiming at fast data transfer rate and high-density recording requires the improvement in performance of the pickup head. Especially, the pickup actuator needs better linearity and stability. So, a lever actuator for optical disk is proposed. In this paper, the role of lever and its structure are discussed and the flexure hinge is introduced to enhance the precise movement. Using the Newoton's method, the motion of equation for the lever actuator is obtained. The results are compared with the analysis results by the FEM (Finite Element Method) for the vibration and the magnetic field. Consequently, the lever actuator has the 2"d system characteristics in 3-axis moving directions and superior stability for the external vibration.tion.

After the vibration source is searched in optical disk drive as an information storage device broadly used the influence of it against FES(Focusing Error Signal) which is a kind of positioning error of pick up from the circuit is carefully examined. For that Purpose, partial coherence function method is applied on a simple multi-degree of freedom model made for the theoretical verification and it is practically introduced in optical disk drive for analyzing the effect of vibration source. Finally, partial coherence output spectrum is attentively observed in order to know which vibration source is a great influence on FES.
