A super resolution optical reproducing system, which can recognize a recording mark less than a resolution limit, removes the effect of a high-frequency noise component of a high power signal obtained by irradiating a laser beam with high read power. The same recording region of an optical recording medium is irradiated according to an irradiation spot by a laser beam with an ordinary read power and an irradiation spot by a laser beam with high read power to obtain a ordinary power signal and a high power signal. The ordinary power signal and the high power signal are normalized to an average level by high pass filters and low pass filters of a high power signal processing circuit and a ordinary power signal processing circuit. Then, a subtracter subtracts the ordinary power signal from the high power signal to obtain a substrated signal. The differential signal and a ordinary reproduced signal that has passed through a parallel processing circuit are amplitude-modulated by a pre-equalizer and a parallel pre-equalizer and then added up by an adder to form a composite signal. The composite signal is output as a reproduced signal.
