    摘要: An apparatus and method for detecting beam power generated by a plurality of light sources, using a single device. The apparatus includes a light-receiving unit that receives the beam power generated by one of a plurality of light sources, and an amplifying unit that selects a gain, amplifies the beam power received by the light-receiving unit according to the selected gain, and outputs the beam power amplified as a detected beam power. According to the apparatus and method, received beam power (or amplification gain) is amplified by a gain determined according to the characteristics of the respective light sources. Thus, it is possible to provide the detected beam power in consideration of a sufficient dynamic range for the each light source, thereby realizing effective APC.

    摘要: An optical signal converter and a method or controlling an amplification gain according to a rotating speed of an optical disc. An optical signal detector detects an optical signal reflected from an optical disc in a reproduction mode and converts the detected optical signal into an electrical signal. A gain control signal generator generates a gain control signal when a voltage level of a driving signal used to drive the optical disc exceeds a maximum output voltage of the optical signal converter. A gain switcher selects an amplification gain of the optical signal converter in response to the gain control signal and an external control signal. A signal amplifier amplifies a signal output from the optical signal detector in response to an output signal of the gain switcher.
