Abstract

An optical disk drive includes a gain control for controlling the gain of a focus servo loop in response to the seek velocity of an optical head. At a low seek velocity, the focus servo gain is reduced to minimize the influence of beam scattering on the groove of an optical disk onto a focusing error signal (FES) and a tracking error signal (TES).
