Abstract

The theoretical basis for a write-compensation scheme is developed with a simplified thermal transfer function in an optical disk. The thermal transfer function is analytically approximated to a first-order exponential filter similar to that of an integrating circuit. A write-compensation method is then given directly by the inverse function of the filter. A simplified form of the compensation is also derived, and this is verified by experiments. This method eliminates the thermal interference and shows how to form mark edges uniformly for an arbitrary optical disk.
