Focus point calibration for optimum recording quality

摘要

The present invention provides a method for calibrating focus positions of a pickup head. The pickup head is in a focus position of a predetermined distance from an optical recording medium for producing a recording light beam of a predetermined power for recording corresponding data onto the optical recording medium. A predetermined position adjustment procedure is performed to adjust the focus position of the pickup head during data recording. The procedure comprises the steps of sensing a reflected light beam from the optical recording medium by means of a sensor to generate a corresponding write RF signal; searching an extreme value of the write RF signal and obtain a target focus position corresponding to the searched extreme value; and adjusting the pickup head to the target focus position, so as to enable further data recording onto the optical recording medium by the pickup head in the target focus position.
