Abstract

The effects of introducing shading bands into the collector path of optical storage devices to equalize optically the signal to a partial response target have been investigated. A software simulation of the optical readout process and the partial-response maximum-likelihood (PRML) read channel have been developed and used to evaluate different channel configurations. It is shown that optical filtering can be used to eliminate the requirement for digital filtering in the PRML channel.
