Abstract

See full text

A digital servo method for an optical disk drive includes receiving low-pass filtered and gain-adjusted versions of photodetector output signals resulting from an illumination of an optical disk. Versions of the photodetector signals are digitized to produce digital signals. A focus control signal is determined through at least one servo algorithm in a digital signal processor based on a focus error determined from the digital signals. Alternatively, a tracking control signal is determined through at least one servo algorithm in the digital signal processor based on a tracking error determined from the digital signals. An optical disk drive includes an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert low-pass filtered and gain-adjusted versions of photodetector output signals into at least one digital signal and the digital signal processor.
