2) ROPC (Running Optimum Power Control) • Variable primary factor of Optimum Power – Change of Power sensitivity on the Disc. (limited to 0.05 *Po) – Wavelength shift of the laser diode due to the operating temperature change. – Change of the Spot aberration due to the Disc skew, Substrate thickness, Defocus.
11. Super Link Super(SUPpressed Error Recording) link method is a new technology to link the interrupted recording by buffer under run. When drive¡fl s buffer will be under, the drive will stop recording and store the stop position. When drive¡fl s buffer receive data from HOST again, the drive will seek to the stop position of last recording and continue writing.
