The RFO signal bottom, after being inverted, is held with two time constant of long and short.
The short time-constant bottom hold is done for a disc mirror defect more than 0.1msec, the long
time-constant bottom hold is done with the mirror level prior to the defect. By differentiating this with a
capacitor coupling and shifting the level, both signals are compared to generate the mirror defect detection
signal.
As the laser diode has large negative temperature characteristic in its optical output when driven with a
constant current on laser diode. Therefore, the output on processing monitor photo diode, must be a
controlled current for getting regularly output power, thus the APC (Auto Power Control) circuit is composed.
