Abstract

An evaluation method and print wire method which includes (a) fitting a modulation characteristic formula M,m=Msat (1−(Pws−Pasy)/(Pw,m−Pasy)) having a saturated modulation Msat, write start power Pws, and asymptotic power Pasy as parameters to a relation between a plurality of kinds of write power Pw,m and a modulation M,m which is obtained from a signal amplitude of a trial-written signal, and finding an index value of an error which occurs in the fitting step; and (b) evaluating whether or not the relation between the write power and the modulation is valid for write power adjustment by using the index value of the error and a predetermined value the print write method further including (c) setting the write power based upon the result of evaluating and executing a write power process with the set write power.

Claims (16)

1. An evaluation method, comprising the steps of:

fitting a modulation characteristic formula M,m=Msat (1−(Pws−Pasy)/(Pw,m−Pasy)) having a saturated modulation Msat, write start power Pws, and asymptotic power Pasy as parameters to a relation between a plurality of kinds of write power Pw,m and a modulation M,m which is obtained from a signal amplitude of a trial-written signal, and finding an index value of an error which occurs in the fitting step; and

evaluating whether or not the relation between the write power and the modulation is valid for write power adjustment by using the index value of the error and a predetermined value.

2. An information write method, comprising the steps of:

fitting a modulation characteristic formula M,m=Msat (1−(Pws−Pasy)/(Pw,m−Pasy)) having a saturated modulation Msat, write start power Pws, and asymptotic power Pasy as parameters to a relation between a plurality of kinds of write power Pw,m and a modulation M,m which is obtained from a signal amplitude of a trial-written signal, and finding an index value of an error which occurs in the fitting step;

evaluating whether or not the relation between the write power and the modulation is valid for write power adjustment by using the index value of the error and a predetermined value; and

setting the write power based on an evaluation result of the evaluating step and executing a write power process with the set write power.

3. An evaluation method, comprising the steps of:

fitting a modulation characteristic formula M,m=Msat (1−(Pws−Pasy)/(Pw,m−Pasy)) having a saturated modulation Msat, write start power Pws, and asymptotic power Pasy as parameters to a relation between a plurality of kinds of write power Pw,m and a modulation M,m which is obtained from a signal amplitude of a trial-written signal, and finding an index value of an error which occurs in the fitting step; and

evaluating whether or not the relation between the write power and the modulation is value for write power adjustment by using the index value of the error and a predetermined value;

wherein the fitting step is performed by calculating an optimum Pasy-opt, of the asymptotic power, which has a minimum of the error by using the relation between the write power Pw,m and the modulation M,m and an approximation straight line of the relation, and then calculating an optimum Pws-opt of the write start power and an optimum Msat-opt of the saturated modulation.

4. An information write method, comprising the steps of:

evaluating whether or not the relation between the write power and the modulation is valid for write power adjustment by using the index value of the error and a predetermined value;

wherein the fitting step is performed by calculating an optimum Pasy-opt, of the asymptotic power, which has a minimum of the error by using the relation between the write power Pw,m and the modulation M,m and an approximation straight line of the relation, and then by calculating an optimum Pws-opt of the write start power and an optimum Msat-opt of the saturated modulation; and

wherein the information write method further comprises the step of setting the write power based on an evaluation result of the evaluating step and executing a write power process with the set write power.
