In this paper, we describe a new physical construction method to assign preformatted information on the guide layer of a super-multilayer disc. A minimum unit of the physical construction consists of “basic mark” and “center track mark”. The basic mark consists of plural wobbled grooves and the center track mark is introduced to identify the center track of the basic mark. We designed a new physical format of the guide layer allocating those marks and experimentally confirmed the bit error rate below 1×10-4 and the defocus margin around 3 µm, which satisfy requirements for realizing an optical disc system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
