摘要:
A focus servo control is performed by changing a condition of a focus servo loop from an open condition to a close condition in correspondence with a level of a reflection light signal, which is obtained as a reflection light of a light beam reflected from an information record medium is detected by a light receiving element such as an optical pickup. A focus servo controlling apparatus is provided with: a disturbance level detecting device such as a servo control circuit for detecting a level of a disturbance light signal, which is obtained as a disturbance light other than the reflection light is received by the light receiving element; and a controlling device such as a system controller for setting a level, which is larger than the level of the disturbance light signal detected by the disturbance level detecting device, as a threshold level and for changing the condition of the focus servo loop from the open condition to the close condition on the basis of a timing when the level of the reflection light signal becomes equal to or larger than the set threshold level.
摘要:
A bias voltage controlling apparatus controls a bias voltage for a focus servo control to control a position of a focal point of a light beam, which is irradiated onto an information record surface of an information record medium (120), in a direction perpendicular to the information record surface. The bias voltage controlling apparatus is provided with: a distinguishing device (110) for distinguishing a type of the information record medium; and a controlling device (108) for optimally controlling the bias voltage on the basis of the type of the information record medium distinguished by the distinguishing device.
