In a capacitance distance sensor apparatus in a focus servo loop for an optical disc playback and record system, stable high servo loop gain and small closed-loop error correction signals are achieved despite surface variations of the disc by compensating for the periodic error command signals generated by the surface variations. A comb filter is provided in the loop tuned to major error component frequencies. The comb filter is formed of a plurality of parallel, bandpass filters that are tuned to frequencies substantially corresponding to the disc rotation frequency and several harmonics thereof. In the distance sensor servo focus control loop, the loop gain can be maintained at a high value to achieve proper beam focus within 0.5 micron (0.5x10-6 meters) for disc surface amplitude variation of three mils (0.0075 centimeters) peak-to-peak. |
