A magnetic modulator coil driving circuit comprises: first and second switching elements for inverting the polarity of exciting currents supplied to magnetic modulator coils, first and second bias voltage setting circuit for determining control voltages to be applied to the first and second switching elements to adjust the currents flowing through the first and second switching elements to a predetermined value, and a data input circuit for supplying modulating data to turn on and off the first and second switching elements alternately. The magnetic modulator coil driving circuit applies a control voltage to the control electrode of the corresponding switching element to control the exciting current to be supplied through the switching element to the corresponding magnetic modulator coil so that the exciting current coincides with a desired value when a reference voltage is applied to the control electrode. Thus a fixed exciting current is supplied to the magnetic modulator coil so that the intensity of the magnetic field may not vary due to temperature variation in the magnetic modulator coil and the magnetic modulator coil may not overheat or burn.

A method of manufacturing a tubular carbon molecule capable of regularly aligning a carbon nanotube with a finer spacing is provided. A catalyst is arranged on a material substrate (10) made of a semiconductor such as silicon (Si) and including iron (Fe) as a catalyst through the use of melting according to a modulated heat distribution (11). The heat distribution (11) is formed, for example, through diffracting an energy beam (12) by a diffraction grating (13). As a method of arranging the catalyst, for example, iron may be deposited in a planar shape or a projection shape in a position corresponding to the heat distribution (11), or the deposited iron may be used as a master to be transferred to another substrate. A carbon nanotube is grown through the use of the arranged catalyst. The grown carbon nanotube can be used as a recording apparatus, a field electron emission device, an FED or the like.

An optical recording medium on which a data signal is formed comprises an area A of recording tracks for recording a data signal between pairs of grooves Gr and a d.c. offset cancel area B for canceling d.c. offset by the push-pull system, which serves as a predetermined area. In the d.c. offset cancel area B, no grove Gr is formed, and grooves are formed at the recording track center positions Tc. The groove at the recording track center position Tc is caused to have the same width and depth as those of the groove Gr. In carrying out recording/reproduction of a data signal by using this optical recording medium, a return light from the optical recording medium is detected by a bisected detector. A difference signal between outputs from the detector is determined by an amplifier. In accordance with an output signal of a sample-hold signal supply unit, first and second sample-hold units respectively hold signals having output phases different from each other by 180 degrees. An adder adds these signals to take out only a d.c. fluctuation component to eliminate the d.c. fluctuation component superimposed on a tracking error signal at a d.c. offset eliminating unit.

An optical pickup is controlled to move to a target track on an optical information storage disc based on target value information representing the sum of speed information indicative of a speed at which the optical pickup is to move, and distance information indicative of a distance which the optical pickup has moved toward the target track. A first subtractor produces a differential signal indicative of the difference between the target value information and remaining distance information which represents a remaining distance that the optical pickup is to move. The differential signal is supplied to a second subtractor which determines the difference between the differential signal and actual speed information indicating an actual speed at which the optical pick is moving. The second subtractor produces a differential signal which is supplied to an actuator to move the optical head.

An inverter includes a pair of switching elements operated by control signals from a signal generator to take two-position action in the same phase or in opposite phases, and a coupling transformer to couple the control signals so that ON actions or ON and OFF actions of the switching elements are synchronized with each other more precisely than circuits of the past have been able to provide.

A spindle servo system for a magneto-optical recording/playback apparatus, comprising a PLL circuit lockable in phase by sample servo pits formed on a track of a magneto-optical disc; a phase comparator for comparing the phase of a signal, whose period corresponds to the output of the PLL circuit, with the phase of a reference frequency signal; and a resonator having a reference frequency conforming to the eccentricity cycle of the disc. In this servo system, the rotation period of a spindle motor for driving the disc is controlled in accordance with the output of the phase comparator and the output of the resonator. The PLL circuit includes a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator, and the resonator is excited in conformity to the output of the phase comparator to control the rotation frequency of the spindle motor, thereby reducing the jitter component included in the output of the PLL circuit.

A head protection control for a magneto-optical recording/reproducing device, including an elastic arm for mounting a magnetic head at one end portion of the arm and biasing the magnetic head in a direction contacting a surface of a magneto-optical disk, which elastic arm is movable in a radial direction of the magneto-optical disk; a driver for driving the elastic arm in a direction moving away from the surface of the magneto-optical disk; a phase-locked loop (PLL) for generating a lock signal when the PLL circuit becomes synchronous with a clock signal in a reproduced signal from the magneto-optical disk; and a controller for controlling the driver so as to cause the driver, upon receipt of the lock signal, to lower the magnetic head to face the magneto-optical disk during rotation at the predetermined speed with a fine gap defined between the magnetic head and the magneto-optical disk by a flying force due to an air stream. It is accordingly possible to prevent damage of the magnetic head or the disk surface even when the magnetic head sticks to the disk surface.

An automatic servo gain control system for an optical disk player apparatus is capable of controlling an open-loop servo gain to be constant, regardless of parameter variations including variations in the optical head actuator gain. The system includes a gain control circuit that varies a gain for a first signal indicative of a positional relationship between the optical head and an optical disk based on a second signal providing light intensity information. The system further includes an oscillator that produces an output at a frequency within a servo frequency band of the optical head actuator and that is introduced into a servo loop via an operational amplifier. Signal values at an input side and an output side of the operational amplifier in the servo loop are compared so as to vary the gain for the first signal based on a difference between the input and output signal values. The system operates to control the input and output signal values to be at a predetermined rate, thereby keeping the open-loop servo gain constant.

An optical disk recording and reproducing appartus is provided with a signal processing circuit in a focus servo circuit for suppressing a traverse signal which has a frequency determined by the pitch of pre-grooves and the transversely shifting speed of a laser beam spot and which modulates a focus error signal during a search mode operation. This signal processing circuit successfully avoids an influence of the traverse signal focus servo system and thus assures accurate focus on the control.
