An optical disc apparatus includes: a defect detecting section 124 for detecting, based on a light detection signal and with respect to a preset detection reference level, a fingerprint or a bubble on the disc 102 as a defect to output a defect detection signal; and a waveform shaping section 126 to output a hold signal that holds, in response to the defect detection signal, a signal from a tracking control section 109 at a level just before the defect has occurred. The apparatus is initially operated not to hold the signal from the tracking control section 109 even if there is a defect. But once a tracking failure has occurred during a read operation, settings are changed to hold the signal from the tracking control section 109 against the defect while the read operation is retried.

An optical disk drive includes: a light source for producing a light beam; an objective lens for converging the light beam; an actuator for moving the objective lens with respect to an optical disk; a converging state detecting section for generating a focus error signal representing a converging state of the light beam on an information storage layer of the optical disk; and a focus control section for controlling the operation of the actuator such that the focus position of the light beam matches its target focus position as closely as possible in accordance with information about the target focus position and the focus error signal. The optical disk drive changes the target focus positions of the light beam when modes of operation are switched from a read mode into a write mode, or vice versa.

An optical disc drive includes: a light source; a focusing section; a focus shifting section for shifting the focal point of light by changing the position of the focusing section perpendicularly to a data storage layer of a given optical disc in accordance with a control signal; a light receiving section for receiving, at multiple areas, the light reflected from the data storage layer and generating light quantity signals; a signal generating section for generating a focus error signal based on the light quantity signals; and a control section for generating the control signal responsive to the focus error signal such that the focal point is transferred to a focus controllable range. The control section generates the control signal such that the focal point is decelerated at a first acceleration and then at a second acceleration. The absolute value of the second acceleration is smaller than that of the first acceleration.

An optical disk apparatus having a high reliability by evading collision between a condensing lens and an optical disk regardless whether the focus control is in the operative state or in the inoperative state, thereby preventing damage to the condensing lens and the optical disk. When the focus control is in the inoperative state, by using a reflection light amount from the optical disk (1), it is ascertained that the focus of the light beam is in the vicinity of the information surface and the condensing lens (15) is driven to be apart from the optical disk (1).

An optical disk apparatus of the present invention measures a surface deflection component (shape of surface deflection) from a low-pass component of a compensating filter in a surface deflection measuring part provided in a DSP. Furthermore, the optical disk apparatus calculates timing at which a positional change in a surface deflection component in time required for focus jumping is a predetermined value or less in a timing calculating part, and starts focus jumping at the timing. Because of this, stable focus jumping is made possible.

This optical disc drive can read and/or write data from/on an optical disc 20 with multiple information layers including first and second information layers. The drive includes: a light source 3, 4 that emits the light beam; an objective lens 1; an actuator 2 for moving the objective lens perpendicularly to the information layers; a focus error generator 7 for generating a focus error signal representing how much the light beam has been converged on a target one of the information layers; and focus control means for forming a focal point of the light beam on the target information layer by driving the actuator in accordance with the focus error signal. According to the present invention, while a focus jump is being made to shift the focal point of the light beam from the first information layer of the optical disc 20 to the second information layer thereof by moving the objective lens 1, wavelengths and/or numerical apertures for the light beam are changeable while the objective lens 1 is moving.

A spherical aberration correction control device for controlling a spherical aberration correction section for correcting a spherical aberration of an optical beam irradiating an optical disc. The spherical aberration correction control device includes a spherical aberration control signal generation section for generating a spherical aberration control signal; and an output section for outputting the spherical aberration control signal to the spherical aberration correction section. A correction amount by which the spherical aberration is corrected is changed by the spherical aberration correction section in accordance with components of the spherical aberration control signal. The spherical aberration control signal generation section generates the spherical aberration control signal such that a sum of correction amounts corresponding to the respective components of the spherical aberration control signal becomes substantially zero with respect to a target correction amount.
