摘要:
In a near-field optical recording/reproducing system and a method of controlling a tilt, the near-field optical recording/reproducing system includes: a light source; an objective lens to focus light emitted from the light source to transmit near-field light to an information storage medium; a PD (photodetector) to receive a portion of the light that is transmitted from the objective lens to the information storage medium and is reflected from the information storage medium, to detect a GES (gap error signal) used for controlling an air gap formed between the objective lens and the information storage medium; a signal processor/determiner to obtain an edge voltage using the GES detected by the PD and determine a tilt control point using the edge voltage; and an adjuster to control a relative tilt between the objective lens and the information storage medium in the tilt control position.
