A multilayer disk without a guide groove can be a large-capacity and price-competitive optical disk. We propose a novel tracking servo system that is robust and accurate for disks without grooves. We use only one reference layer for which the linear positioning method is employed, which enables us to obtain tracking servo information over the whole disk radius. We also use an adjacent track servo system so as not to overwrite the previous track. We confirm the stability and performance of the system with a simulation.
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.
