Scanning read-out apparatus with scanning speed fluctuation compensating means and correction coefficient adjusting method.

摘要

A scanning read-out apparatus comprises a device for detecting the scanning speed of a light beam and generating a scanning speed signal, and a device for calculation between a read-out signal detected by scanning of a read-out objective and the scanning speed signal and for generating a corrected read-out signal representing the result of the calculation. A coefficient for correction of the read-out signal is adjusted by forcibly fluctuating the scanning speed of the light beam on a read-out objective for correction coefficient adjustment, generating a correction signal by multiplying the scanning speed signal by an arbitrary coefficient, correcting the read-out signal by using the correction signal, extracting a signal of a noise component caused by the forcible fluctuation from the corrected read-out signal, finding the coefficient at which the extracted signal becomes the minimum, and using the coefficient thus found as the correction coefficient.
