Abstract: Provided is a detecting circuit which can correctly detect a land prepit signal. A threshold value voltage generating circuit (10) detects an amplitude (?V) of a wobble signal (SigWBL) included in a push-pull signal (SigPP), and generates a threshold value voltage (Vth) based on the detected amplitude (?V) of the wobble signal (SigWBL). A first filter (12) removes a high frequency component of the push-pull signal (SigPP), and extracts the wobble signal (SigWBL). A peak hold circuit (14) holds a peak value of the wobble signal (SigWBL) extracted by the first filter (12).

An amplifier (18) amplifies a difference (?V) between an output of the peak hold circuit (14) and an output of the second filter (16), namely, an amplitude of the wobble signal (SigWBL).

Abstract: A semiconductor multilayer portion (6) is formed by stacking an n-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor layer (3) and a p-type gallium nitride compound semiconductor layer (5) so as to form a light-emitting portion, and a light-transmitting conductive layer (7) is formed on a surface of the semiconductor multilayer portion. A part of the light-transmitting conductive layer is removed, and an upper electrode (8) is so formed to be in contact with the exposed surface of the semiconductor multilayer portion and the light-transmitting conductive layer. By providing the surface of the semiconductor multilayer portion which is exposed through an opening (7a) of the light-transmitting conductive layer with a current blocking means (10), current is significantly prevented from flowing into a part under the upper electrode while securing good adhesion between the upper electrode and the surface of the semiconductor multilayer portion. Consequently, there can be obtained a semiconductor light-emitting device using a gallium nitride compound wherein the external quantum efficiency is improved by suppressing light emission under the upper electrode while enhancing adhesion between the upper electrode and the semiconductor layer.
