Abstract

A fixed section of an optical recording and reproducing apparatus is provided with an actuator for optically controlling the fine tracking of a laser beam to be held at a predetermined position, by moving a diverging convex lens of a relay lens in a direction perpendicular to that of the optical axis; first and second filter circuits for separating a tracking error signal outputted from a differential amplifier connected to a two-split light-receiving element into a high-frequency-side signal and a low-frequency-side signal respectively; a first driving control circuit for controlling the driving of a linear motor for moving a movable section of the apparatus on the basis of the low-frequency-side signal separated by the first filter circuit; and a second driving control circuit for controlling the driving of the actuator on the basis of the high-frequency-side signal separated by the second filter circuit.
