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.
Change of Disc or Optics conditions due to the long term OPC
==> It is necessary to adjust continuously to obtain the Optimum Power.
Principle of Running OPC
To meet the factors mentioned above,
a horizontal _ direction movement of a curve is uesd.
Beta = f(B-level) = constant on the Recorded Disc
Procedure of ROPC
a. Reference B-level is determined during OPC Procedure.
b. During Recording, B-level value is controlled to have a close
Reference B-level value.
c. Normalization of B-level is used to eliminate the effect of reflectivity fluctuation.
==> The reflected B-level value is normalized by the disc reflectivity itself.

* Recording Capacity of CD-R/RW (74Minute Recording media)
(2048 Byte/Sector) X (75 Sector/Second) X (60 Second/Minute) X 74 Minute
= 681,984,000 Bytes = 682 Mbytes
But the actual recording capacity is about 650 Mbytes. (according to the ISO 9660 standard, approximately
30 Mbytes are used to make directory structure and volume names.)
