Abstract

An optical storage system includes an optical head and a controller. The optical head is configured to split a light beam into a higher power main beam and a lower power side beam. The controller is configured to write data to an optical medium via the higher power main beam, and read, directly after writing, feedback from the optical medium containing the written data and noise caused by the higher power main beam. The controller is also configured to process the feedback using data indicative of the higher power main beam to remove the noise and generate output indicative of the written data, and automatically adjust a delay of the feedback or the data indicative of the higher power main beam based on a signal quality of the output.
