Abstract

Laser light is focused in an accurate manner on selected layers in a multilayer optical disk recording system by means of an analysis of output electrical signals from a dithered source which results in the production of an electrical signal which is proportional to an amount by which the parts of the system are to be relatively moved in order to achieve the desired focus on one of the layers.
