摘要:
A signal-detecting light-receiving device formed as an integrated circuit, which receives a light beam reflected from an optical recording medium, and which outputs a signal obtained from the received reflected light beam, through a current-output-type current amplifier circuit. The light-receiving device includes the following components: at least one resistor configured as a part of the integrated circuit, the at least one resistor being an output resistor used as a termination resistor for an output terminal of the light-receiving device, the output terminal being connected to an output of the current amplifier circuit; and a selecting circuit configured as a part of the integrated circuit, which controls the at least one resistor so as to enable/disable connection of the at least one resistor to the output terminal of the light-receiving device.

An object of the present invention is to remove a laser beam source noise in an optical disc device.An optical disc device comprises: a laser beam source which outputs a laser beam, a reproducing signal beam-receiver which receives a signal beam from an optical disc and generates a reproducing signal, a beam-source monitoring beam-receiver which detects the laser beam from the laser beam source, and a beam splitter which divides the laser beam from the laser beam source into the beams to the reproducing signal beam-receiver and to the beam-source monitoring beam-receiver; an output signal from the beam-source monitoring beam-receiver being used for removing a noise contained in the reproducing signal from the reproducing signal beam-receiver through a noise cancellation calculation. In the configuration of the optical disc device, an output current of the beam-source monitoring beam-receiver is set so that a laser beam source noise caused by the laser beam source is greater than a circuit-related noise caused by a circuit including the beam receivers.
