Optical disk apparatus, laser power controller, and laser power control method

摘要

A laser power controller includes a loop control section to control a laser light output level of an optical head that applies laser light onto a disk for recording data to be a prescribed value, a DAC control section to hold as a previous level a laser control level preceding switching of a laser output level upon track change between a groove track and a land track during recording, and an analog SW to select the DAC control section to control the laser light output level by the previous level for a certain time period from the track change and to select the loop control section after the certain time period.
