NEAR-FIELD GAP PULL-IN METHOD AND OPTICAL DISC APPARATUS THEREFOR

摘要

A gap pull-in method and an optical disc apparatus. Whether light condensed on a disc as an actuator ascends is near-field light is determined using a gap error signal. The range of an actuator driving voltage value during a section where the decrease rate of the gap error signal is constant is obtained when it is determined that the light condensed on the disc is near-field light. Gap pull-in is performed on the disc during a section where the actuator driving voltage value is within the obtained range.
