Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for writing on an optical recording medium, e.g. an optical disc or card, using multi-dimensional coding.
- This writing scheme could be used for providing a multi-level coding function.
- FIG. 1 shows typical coding and signal processing elements of a data storage system.
- the cycle of user data from input Dl to output DO can include interleaving 10, error- correction-code (ECC) and modulation encoding 20, 30, signal preprocessing 40, data storage on the recording medium 50, signal pick-up and post-processing 60, binary detection 70, and decoding 80, 90 of the interleaved ECC.
- ECC encoder 20 adds redundancy to the data in order to provide protection from various noise sources.
- the ECC-encoded data are then passed on to a modulation encoder 30 which adapts the data to the channel, i.e. it manipulates the data into a form less likely to be corrupted by channel errors and more easily detected at the channel output.
- the modulated data i.e.
- channel bits are then input to a writing or mastering device, e.g. a spatial light or electron beam modulator or the like, and stored on the recording medium 50, e.g. optical disc or card.
- a reading device or pick-up unit comprising e.g. a partitioned photo-detector, or an array of detectors, which can be 1-D or even 2-D as in a charge-coupled device (CCD), converts the received radiation pattern reflected from the recording medium 50 into pseudo-analog data values which must be transformed back into digital data (typically one bit per pixel for binary modulation, but log 2 ( ) bits per pixel for multi-level, or -ary modulation).
- the first step in this reading process is a detection and post-processing step 60 comprising an equalization step which attempts to undo distortions created in the recording process.
- the equalization step can be carried out in the pseudo-analog domain.
- the array of pseudo-analog values is converted to an array of binary digital data via a detector 70.
- the array of digital data is then passed first to the modulation decoder 80, which performs the inverse operation to modulation encoding, and then to an ECC decoder 90.
- Interpixel or intersymbol interference is a phenomenon in which the signal waveform at one particular pixel is contaminated by data at nearby pixels. Physically, this arises from the band- limit of the (optical) channel, originating from optical diffraction, or from time- varying aberrations in the optical pick-up system, like disc tilt and defocus of the laser beam.
- An approach to combating such an interference is to forbid certain patterns of high spatial frequency via the modulation coding.
- a code that forbids a pattern of high spatial frequency (or, more generally, a collection of such patterns of rapidly varying 0 and 1 pixels) is called a low-pass code and can be used for modulation coding/decoding at the modulation encoder 30 and decoder 80.
- Such modulation codes constrain the information written in a two-dimensional area (like in the allowed pages of a holographic storage) to have limited high spatial frequency content.
- Another property of these 2-D codes is the increase in the eye-opening of the (digital) eye-pattern.
- Two-dimensional codes with low-pass filtering characteristics are of interest as modulation codes for novel two-dimensional and/or volumetric optical recording schemes.
- 2-D coding can also be a key issue for new routes that are closer to more conventional types of optical recording, e.g. based upon reflective optical disc technology, using coherent diffraction of two-dimensional patterns (marks) recorded on a two-dimensional area of a card or a disc. In the prior art, coding on square lattices has been considered.
- checkerboard codes have been studied in W. Weeks, R.E. Blahut, "The Capacity and Coding Gain of Certain Checkerboard Codes", IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, Vol. 44, No. 3, 1998, pp 1193-1203.
- various checkerboard constraints have been considered on a square lattice to achieve a low pass characteristic and thus reduce the effects of inter-symbol interference (ISI) during read-out and detection of channel bits.
- ISI inter-symbol interference
- effects e.g. pits or lands
- 2-D optical data storage effects (e.g. pits or lands) are written in such a manner that the information content results not only from the correlations of the effects in the tangential direction of a disc as in the case of 1-D optical storage, but also from the correlations between effects written in the radial direction.
- the 2-D area of the recording medium is fully exploited.
- the specific filling of sites on a 2-D grid determines the information content of the information layer.
- a 2-D coded medium can be arranged as a hexagonal grid representing positions of the channel bits.
- the channel bits are formed as pit regions or pit effects and land regions or land effects arranged on predetermined surface areas of the optical medium.
- the hexagonal coding geometry may lead to more efficient storage, and thus higher storage densities can be achieved.
- Figs. 2 A and 2B show a schematic view of a 2-D hexagonal grid comprising a plurality of channel bit areas (represented by hexagons for simplicity), wherein white areas indicated land effects and shaded areas indicated pit effects.
- a radiation spot LS of the pick-up unit used for reading the information stored or written on the optical medium is fully reflected at the continuous large land portion (e.g. at zero level) formed by adjacent land effects.
- a large pit portion e.g. below zero level
- the reflection signals from the large land portion i.e.
- the two binary levels cannot be distinguished at detection.
- the above problem may occur in 2-D coding, since there is no diffraction at all for a focused laser or other radiation spot which is incident on a large pit area or on a large land area, as shown in Figs. 2A and 2B. Both behave as ideal mirrors.
- a specific pit effect may be surrounded not only by six neighbouring pit effects but also by next-nearest neighbour pit effects, which results in signals that are similar for large pit-areas and large land-areas, an effect that is commonly known as folding.
- such a folding effect may also occur in 1-D coded optical media, in case pit effects (shaded areas) are written too wide in the direction perpendicular to the recording direction or track (indicated by an arrow in Fig. 3). Furthermore, this problem of signal folding may also occur when reading for instance a CD disc with large pits with an optical pick-up unit used in a DND-drive (without further deterioration of the spot quality, by e.g. lowering of the Numerical-Aperture, NA), due to the fact that the CD-pits are much too wide for the resolving power of the DVD laser.
- NA Numerical-Aperture
- the enlarged pit effect leads to a considerably reduced diffraction in the radial direction, and thus to a considerable reflection or signal level of the radiation beam, as shown by a respective peak (indicated by the dotted arrow) in the signal diagram in the lower part of Fig. 3.
- This signal diagram schematically indicates a time-dependent level of the output signal of the pick-up unit, when the radiation spot moves along the track direction.
- folding can easily be prevented by taking care that the width of the pit effects is kept within an acceptable range. Then, the folding problem does not arise because the spot diameter is always larger than the radial width of a pit effect and diffraction always occurs in the radial direction.
- the reflected light beam therefore looses enough intensity by diffraction outside the central aperture.
- 2-D coding schemes large areas of channel bits of the same type conventionally have been avoided by introducing a high-pass constraint of the 2-D channel or modulation code.
- This constraint can be realized by a single parameter leading to high-pass characteristics of the 2-D code.
- the parameter may indicate the minimum number of nearest neighbours that must be of the opposite bit type or bit state compared to the bit value of the channel bit at the central site of a cluster. Thereby, the number of pit effects adjacent to any one pit effect on the medium can be controlled.
- the folding problem can be prevented or alleviated during the writing or mastering process by realizing marks, e.g. pit effects, as incomplete marks, which do not form large mirror surfaces when combined in clusters of adjacent pits.
- the incomplete marks may be obtained by modulating the shape of pit effects in any manner suitable to reduce the reflection surface and/or to increase diffraction.
- a multi- level coded information can be written by controlling the shape or size of a single incomplete mark in a predetermined cluster in accordance with the level of a multi-level coded information.
- the multi-level coded information may be written by using a binary modulation, i.e. by forming a cluster pattern of incomplete marks on each channel bit area and controlling the pattern in accordance with the level of the multi-level coded information, similar to a dithering process.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of coding and processing elements of a data storage system in which the present invention can be applied
- Figs. 2 A and 2B show examples of large bit and land portions, respectively, formed in a hexagonal grid of channel bit positions in a 2-D coded recording medium
- Fig. 3 shows a folding effect as generated due to an enlarged pit in a 1-D coded recording medium
- Fig. 4 shows an incomplete pit effect with a pillar in a substantially central portion according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 5 shows the hexagonal lattice which is an ordering pattern of pit areas in a hexagonal 2-D coding scheme:
- Figs. 6A shows a writing scheme for land and pit effects, wherein an incomplete pit effect is formed as a circular pit hole in a substantially central portion of the corresponding pit area in a substantially central portion, according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Fig. 6B shows a perspective view of the incomplete pit effect according to the second preferred embodiment
- Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram indicating signal levels to be expected for binary modulation at a certain disc capacity
- Figs. 8 to 11 show diagrams indicating the effects of a change in the shape of the incomplete pit effects on the obtained coding level.
- hexagonal lattices provide the highest packing fraction.
- the latter distance a may be determined by the extent of a two-dimensional impulse response of the two-dimensional channel used for writing to the optical medium e.g. by conventional reflective-type of optical recording with coherent diffraction in two-dimensions.
- the problem of reduced diffraction or increased reflection at large pit portions is alleviated or removed by a new form of write strategy, where the shape of the pit areas or effects is modulated in a predetermined manner during the writing or mastering operation of the optical medium, e.g. optical disc or card, so as to obtain an incomplete pit effect as compared to the size or shape of the land effect.
- the pit shape is modulated in such a manner that the level of a read-out signal reflected at the incomplete pit effect and received at the pick-up unit is reduced. This can be achieved in various ways.
- the width or shape of the pit effect can be changed such that a cluster of adjacent pit effects as shown in Fig.
- the bottom surface of the pit effects can be modulated e.g. by introducing one or a plurality of protrusions, e.g. pillars, or holes or any other regularities or irregularities, by which the reflection of the read-out radiation beam is reduced or by which the read-out radiation beam is diffused or diffracted.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of an incomplete pit effect according to a first preferred embodiment, wherein a cylindrical pillar P is formed substantially in the central portion of the respective pit effect.
- the top of the pillar P forms a land area left over.
- the edge H of the remaining land area has a circular shape.
- the edge H may as well have any other almost circular shape.
- the incomplete pit effect with the pillar P in the center prevents folding in case of too many adjacent pit effects in 2-D coding according to Fig. 2B.
- the hexagons in Fig. 2 reflect the separate bit cells, but that the large mastered pit of Fig. 2B will have an almost circular boundary.
- the pillars P lead to a diffraction of the incident radiation, e.g.
- the size of the pillar P can be adjusted so as to substantially keep constant the degree of modulation of the read-out signal.
- more complex write strategies can be devised, which depend on the bits written in adjacent bit-cells, and which aim, for instance, to keep the characteristics of the total channel (write-channel + read-channel) such that a linear channel transfer function is achieved as much as possible.
- the mastering of such an incomplete pit effect can be done, for example, by means of a kind of hollow-cone electron beam or by means of a high resolution writing beam scanned according to the shape of the pit effect, e.g. in a circle, to write the pit effect with the pillar P substantially in the center.
- a writing equipment e.g. an electron beam mastering equipment
- a resolution of at least four times the resolution of the read-out equipment is required.
- hexagonal clusters arranged in the bulk of the hexagonal lattice have seven bit positions or sites, one central site and six nearest-neighbouring sites.
- hexagonal cluster is used, also when reference is made to a quasi-hexagonal cluster of bits on a quasi-hexagonal lattice.
- Fig. 5 shows an ordering pattern for describing the locations of incomplete pit effects in the hexagonal cluster with respective location vectors (n,m), wherein the parameters n and m may be set to the values "-1", "0" or "1".
- the location vector (0,0) designates the central pit effect.
- the parameter n indicates the horizontal location and the parameter m indicates the vertical location.
- Fig. 6 A shows schematic top views of a land effect and an incomplete pit effect according to an example of the write scheme of the present invention.
- the dark circular portion of the incomplete pit effect indicates the pillar P.
- the dark circular portion may as well represent a small circular pit hole arranged in a substantially central portion of the channel bit area allocated to the pit effect.
- the incomplete pit effect is formed by a remaining edge portion at land level and a central pit hole with a lower bottom level.
- Fig. 6B shows a perspective view of the incomplete pit effect, wherein the arrow indicates the depth of the pit hole, i.e. the distance between the land level and the lower pit level. It is clear that such a pit hole surrounded by the remaining land level also leads to a reduced reflection in case a plurality of such incomplete pit effects are arranged adjacent each other in a cluster.
- the size or shape of the incomplete pit effects according to the first or second preferred embodiment may be varied in a systematic way so as to write a multi-level coded information.
- the write strategy of the present invention can be used to provide a multi-level coding of information.
- the level of reflection of the radiation beam at each bit which leads to a signal value out of a plurality of values, is decoded to obtain a corresponding level of the multi-level coded information.
- this plurality of values are the multi-level values that were aimed at the encoder side. These values are further affected by noise, and by intersymbol-interference.
- each single incomplete pit effect may be used for writing information from a set of user bits (log2(M)) via a multi-level coding.
- the shape or size of the pillar or hole portion of each single pit effect is controlled in accordance with the level of the multi-level coded information to be written.
- the reflection level at each individual pit effect can be controlled to write the different levels of the multi-level coded information.
- Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram indicating fourteen different patterns of hexagonal clusters and their respective levels of reflection.
- the central channel bit CB is set to "0" (i.e. a land effect is arranged in the center), while in the right group of cluster patterns, the central channel bit CB is set to "1" (i.e. an incomplete pit effect is arranged in the center).
- the reflection level decreases with increasing number of incomplete pit effects.
- Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram indicating fourteen different patterns of hexagonal clusters and their respective levels of reflection.
- 1.40x assuming a broad spiral of 11 tracks with a guard band of a single bit row, leading to an efficiency of 11/12.
- the horizontal axis indicates cluster pattern numbers representing the clusters of Fig.
- the vertical axis indicates the relative HF signal level of the read-out signal in relation to the maximum reflection level.
- the HF signal levels have been obtained by (very realistic) scalar diffraction calculations.
- the cluster pattern numbers 0 to 6 correspond to the left group of clusters shown in Fig. 7, i.e. the cluster patterns with a land effect in the center
- the cluster pattern numbers 10 to 16 correspond to the right group of clusters shown in Fig. 7, i.e. the cluster patterns with an incomplete pit effect in the center.
- Figs. 8 to 11 the diameter b has been set to 50nm, 60nm, 70nm and 82.5nm, respectively.
- the results of Fig. 8 indicate a nearly linear behavior of the reflection level over the whole range of cluster patterns.
- both pattern groups show a behaviour with a highest possible similarity, reducing the effect of pit- land assymetry which is typical in any optical recording.
- the similar behaviour leads also to a similar dependency on the noise in the channel, with respect to detection of both types of bits ("0"-bits, which are land-bits and "l"-bits, which are the incomplete pit-bits). So, in that sense, Fig.
- Figs. 8 and 9 (without a visible signal folding) are also optimal in terms of identical sensitivity of both types of bits to any channel errors. Further, the signal folding is largely avoided for the conditions of Figs. 8 and 9, which implies that the overall channel behaves almost linearly. Signal folding is in fact a 2 nd order channel non-linearity. Avoidance of channel non-linearity is also beneficial for simplicity of detection algorithms and electronics of the receiver (bit-detector).
- the results of Figs. 9 and 10 indicate a good performance for the cluster patterns 0 to 6, while the range and linearity is reduced for the cluster patterns 10 to 16. In particular, folding starts at cluster pattern 16 of Fig. 10.
- the described hexagonal-lattice based multi-dimensional coding can be used in any reflection based data storage system.
- the invention is also intended to cover all kinds of record carriers, e.g. optical discs, used in such data storage systems, on which an information is written or stored by using the described multidimensional coding scheme.
- any kind of shape modulation can be used for obtaining incomplete pit effects with a reduced reflection characteristic or an increased diffraction characteristic.
- the modulation is not obtained by a physical depth difference between pit-marks and land-marks, but by differences in reflection levels between amorphous areas and poly-crystalline areas.
- the writing strategy for 2-D writing in phase-change recording can be done along the same lines by changing the shape or structure of the amorphous or poly-crystalline areas, where the pillar or pit-hole in the centre of a pit-bit may correspond to a small amo ⁇ hous mark. Furthermore, it should be noted that a hole generated in a mastering process may correspond to a pillar on the produced optical disk or card. The invention is thus intended to cover any modification within the scope of the attached claims.
