Abstract

A method of adjusting a write strategy of a recordable disc comprises steps of: generating a test pattern on a power calibrating area of the recordable disc according to a first write strategy, a first write power, and a first target β value; establishing a Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and a Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table by measuring a plurality of Pits and Lands with different time lengths in the test pattern; generating an updated timing parameter set by adjusting a timing parameter set of the first write strategy according to the Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and the Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table; and generating an updated target β value according to the updated timing parameter set.

Claims (24)

1. A method of adjusting a write strategy of a recordable disc, comprising steps of:

generating a test pattern on a power calibrating area of the recordable disc according to a first write strategy, a first write power, and a target β value, wherein the first write power is adjusted according to the difference between a calculated β value of the test pattern and the target β value, wherein the calculated β value is the symmetry of the reflected signal from the test pattern;

establishing a Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and a Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table by measuring a plurality of Pits and Lands with different time lengths in the test pattern;

generating an updated timing parameter set by adjusting a timing parameter set of the first write strategy according to the Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and the Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table, wherein the updated timing parameter set at least includes a front-edge delay time of a 3T Pit, a rear-edge advance time of a 3T Pit, a front-edge delay time of a mT Pit, and a rear-edge advance time of a mT Pit, wherein m>3; and

generating an updated target β value according to the updated timing parameter set, wherein the updated target β value is less than the target β value if a first value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the 3T Pit, is greater than a second value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the mT Pit.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of determining a relationship between the updated target β value and the target β value according to a mapping constant multiplied by a difference of the first value and the second value.

3. A method of adjusting a write strategy of a recordable disc, comprising steps of:

generating a test pattern on a power calibrating area of the recordable disc according to a first write strategy, a first write power, and a target β value, wherein the first write power is adjusted according to the difference between a calculated β value of the test pattern and the target β value, wherein the calculated β value is the symmetry of the reflected signal from the test pattern;

establishing a Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and a Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table by measuring a plurality of Pits and Lands with different time lengths in the test pattern;

generating an updated timing parameter set by adjusting a timing parameter set of the first write strategy according to the Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and the Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table, wherein the updated timing parameter set at least includes a front-edge delay time of a 3T Pit, a rear-edge advance time of a 3T Pit, a front-edge delay time of a mT Pit, and a rear-edge advance time of a mT Pit, wherein m>3; and

generating an updated target β value according to the updated timing parameter set, wherein the updated target β value is greater than the target β value if a first value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the 3T Pit, is less than a second value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the mT Pit.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising a step of determining a relationship between the updated target β value and the target β value according to a mapping constant multiplied by a difference of the first value and the second value.

5. A method of adjusting a write strategy of a recordable disc, comprising steps of:

generating a plurality of Pits and Lands with different time lengths on the recordable disc according to a first write strategy, a first write power, and a target β value, wherein the first write power is adjusted according to the difference between a calculated β value of the Pits and Lands with different time lengths and the target β value, wherein the calculated β value is the symmetry of the reflected signal from the Pits and Lands with different time lengths;

establishing a Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and a Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table through measuring the plurality of Pits and Lands;

generating an updated timing parameter set through adjusting a timing parameter set of the first write strategy according to the Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and the Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table, wherein the updated timing parameter set at least includes a front-edge delay time of a 3T Pit, a rear-edge advance time of a 3T Pit, a front-edge delay time of a mT Pit, and a rear-edge advance time of a mT Pit, wherein m>3; and

generating an updated target β value according to the updated timing parameter set, wherein the updated target β value is less than the target β value if a first value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the 3T Pit, is greater than a second value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the mT Pit.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising a step of determining a relationship between the updated target β value and the target β value according to a mapping constant multiplied by a difference of the first value and the second value.

7. A method of adjusting a write strategy of a recordable disc, comprising steps of:

generating a plurality of Pits and Lands with different time lengths on the recordable disc according to a first write strategy, a first write power, and a target β value, wherein the first write power is adjusted according to the difference between a calculated β value of the Pits and Lands with different time lengths and the target β value, wherein the calculated β value is the symmetry of the reflected signal from the Pits and Lands with different time lengths;

establishing a Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and a Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table through measuring the plurality of Pits and Lands;

generating an updated timing parameter set through adjusting a timing parameter set of the first write strategy according to the Pit-to-Land Inter-Symbol Interference table and the Land-to-Pit Inter-Symbol Interference table, wherein the updated timing parameter set at least includes a front-edge delay time of a 3T Pit, a rear-edge advance time of a 3T Pit, a front-edge delay time of a mT Pit, and a rear-edge advance time of a mT Pit, wherein m>3; and

generating an updated target β value according to the updated timing parameter set, wherein the updated target β value is greater than the target β value if a first value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the 3T Pit, is less than a second value, the front-edge delay time minus the rear-edge advance time of the mT Pit.
