<p>An apparatus for recording and reproducing data into/from an optical disc is provided. This apparatus comprises: an optical disc having an optical recording medium into and from which data can be written and erased; a laser diode (1) to write, erase, and read out data into and from the optical disc; and a power setting circuit (4A-C,5A-C,6A-C,7A-C,8A-C) for sampling and holding a detection output from a photo diode (2) to detect a light emission power of the laser diode (1), for comparing the value sampled and held with a target value, and for setting the power of the laser diode (1). The light emission power of the laser diode (1) in each of the data writing, erasing, and reading modes is controlled by the power setting means. A part of a recording area of the optical disc is provided with an extracting area (SA) to sample and hold the detection output from the photo diode (2).</p> |
