Analysis of Leading Edge/Trailing Edge Independent Detection Method in Optical Disk

Abstract
The effects of independent detection of leading edge / trailing edge on edge-shift and jitter are investigated for typical heat-mode recording processes using read-out pulse width, recording timing measurements and thermal simulation. In addition, in order to investigate the edge-shift reduction limit for this new method, a method is proposed to analyze what causes the edge-shifts; it statistically evaluates the relative edge intervals between adjacent edges of a particular worst-case recording pattern. Our results clarify that the new method is effective for reducing edge-shifts and jitter.
