Abstract:
An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical pickup and a signal processor. The optical pickup includes an optical splitting device which splits light emitted from a first light source into a main light beam and sub-light beams which are symmetrical with respect to the main light beam and irradiates the split light beams on a recording medium, and a light detection device which receives the main light beam and the sub-light beams reflected by the recording medium, so as to detect a tracking error signal in a three-beam method and one of a push-pull method and an improved push-pull method. The signal processor receives the detection signals output by the light detection device and detects the tracking error signal in the three-beam method and one of the push-pull method and the improved push-pull method, and otherwise selectively detects the tracking error signal in one of the three-beam method, the push-pull method and the improved push-pull method, so as to realize an optimal tracking servo-control. Since a selective use of one of the improved push-pull method, the push-pull method and the three-beam method can be made according to the type of an optical disc, the optimal tracking servo-control can be realized regardless of the depth of a pit in an optical disc during a reproduction of data from the optical disc, such as a non-rewritable optical disc.
Abstract:
An optical recording and reproducing apparatus for adjusting a tilt of an optical pickup in accordance with an amount of jitter of a reproduction signal, a tilt adjusting method therefor, and a recording control method. The optical recording and reproducing apparatus includes an optical pickup having an object lens, a tilt adjusting unit for adjusting a tilt angle of the object lens, a jitter detecting unit for detecting an amount of jitter of a reproducing signal generated by the optical pickup from a disk, and a tilt controlling unit for minimizing the amount of jitter by feeding the amount of jitter detected by the jitter detecting unit back to the tilt adjusting unit. According to the optical recording and reproducing apparatus, there is no need for a space in which a displacement sensor detecting the tilt angle of the optical pickup faces the disk.
