    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a mechanism reading and writing information to be stored on a multilayer optical disk by using a semiconductor laser as light source capable of modulating the light output and detecting the change of the current of the light source. SOLUTION: In a diode injection type laser 10 orienting a laser light with a cross fiber 80, the cross fiber 80 calibrates the ununiform divergence of a laser light to be inputted to a lens 100. The light from the lens 100 is headed toward an optical disk or a CD target 30 and the light is reflected from that to a photodetector 40 by passing the lens 100 and the diode injection type laser 10 again. A driving current passing through the diode injection type laser 10 is modulated by a return light from the target 30. Then, the same signal is extracted as a voltage drop generated across a resistor R 90 by providing the resistor R 90 in the current path of a power source 70.

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser light source acts as its own photodetector in a combined system. Variations in the light returning to the laser cause detectable variations in the laser drive current. In an optical disk storage system, these variations are produced by dithering a focusing lens and the detected current variation is analysed and fed back to control focusing of the laser on the disk.
