  • Patent number: 5059780
    Abstract: A light power control circuit by which a stable writing without any influence of a high-frequency current on writing data is enabled by performing superposition of the high-frequency signal on a drive current of a laser diode only during a reading mode, and by inhibiting the superposition of the high-frequency current during a writing mode. In a further embodiment having a construction in which a writing drive current is superposed on a reading drive signal in the form of pulses and a voltage proportional to a writing power is subtracted from an error signal in a servo system, an influences of a writing data component on the operation of the servo system is eliminated by effecting a level shift to the voltage by a predetermined level and subtracting the voltage after the level shift from the error signal.

  • Patent number: 4894525
    Abstract: In an optical power control device for a semiconductor light emitting element, a voltage corresponding to a write power set value is modified with write data and then is averaged. The resultant averaged voltage is subtracted from the averaged voltage of the optical power detection voltage, so that the drive current of the semiconductor light emitting element is controlled in accordance with the difference of the resultant subtraction voltage from the read power set value. As a result, even when the write power has been outputted for a long period of time, it can be switched over to the read power instantaneously. By employing simple switching circuitry, the control device is free from the occurrence of drifts or the adjustment of offsets.
