Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a tilt correcting device highly resistant to the soil, the dust, et., and can be effectively used to the disks different in reflection factor, by detecting the DC component out of the drive voltage for a focus actuator and estimating the flexure value against the rotational center part of an optical disk for control of the beam tilt. CONSTITUTION:The DC component is detected out of the dive voltage for an actuator of a focus servo means part where the focal point of the light beam used for recording and reproduction is set on an information track of a disk 1. Then the tilt of the light beam is estimated by calculation to the disk 1 based on the orthogonal relation between them. Thus the optical axial tilt of the light beam is corrected. In other words, the flexure value (y) set at an inner circumference of the disk 1 is detected. Then a flexure curve is estimated by calculation from the value (y) as well as a distance (x) of a known optical head from the rotational center 15 of the disk 1. Thus the tilt of the light beam radiated from an objective lens 4 can be detected against the disk 1 even in all recording area of the disk 1. In such constitution, the high resistance is secured to the dust, the soil, etc., and the influence caused by the difference of reflection factors between the recorded and unrecorded areas can be reduced.
