Tracking system for optical disc memory using tracking error signals from main beam and auxiliary beams

摘要

A tracking system for positioning a light spot onto a magneto optic or optical disc having a beam guide track preformatted thereon comprises a main light beam and two auxiliary light beams, and a circuit for subtracting a low frequency component of a difference between the tracking error signals, detected by the respective auxiliary light beams and the main light beam, from a tracking error signal detected by the main light beam.
