摘要:
A focusing error detecting apparatus comprises an objective lens system (5) for focusing a ray flux on a surface (2) of an optical recording disk (1), two photo detectors (13a, 13b), an optical means (4, 5, 6) including the lens system (5) and a beam splitter (6), for focusing a ray flux reflected from the optical recording disk (1) so that the ray flux comes to the middle of a space formed between the two photo detectors (13a, 13b) when the focal point is formed on the optical recording disk, a combination of two interruption/deflection elements (26a, 26b) and a control device (31) for switching the ray flux transmitted from the optical recording disk (1) at the two positions which correspond to said two photo detectors, two sampling/holding circuits (29, 30) respectively hold differences of output of the two photo detectors (13a, 13b) in correspondence to the switching operations of the interruption/deflection elements (26a, 26b) and the control device (31), and a subtracting circuit (28) for outputting a focusing error signal (S f ) on the basis of the outputs of the sampling/holding circuits (29, 30).
