To read an optical disc in super-resolution mode, a procedure for optimizing the power of the read laser beam is implemented. This optimization is based on the observation that a correlation exists between the power allowing the disc to be read without risk in super-resolution mode and the amplitude of the read signal which results from the reading of marks having the smallest possible dimension (marks 2 T). The amplitude of the optical disc is measured for several powers of decreasing values of the read laser, the reduction in amplitude is observed. A read power is selected as a function of the power for which a decrease (for example 5%) is noted in the amplitude measured at the start. | 09-29-2011 |
