Abstract

Disclosed herein is a laser noise cancel circuit for reducing laser noises in a reproduction system for an optical disk device including, a gain-variable amplifying noise cancel circuit for amplifying a monitor output signal for laser light, a first low-pass filter for extracting low frequency signal components of a monitor output signal for noise canceling, a second low-pass filter for extracting low frequency signal components, a negative return loop circuit for controlling a gain in the amplifying noise cancel circuit based on the low frequency signal components of the monitor output signal for noise canceling extracted as well as on the low frequency signal components of the reproduced high frequency signal extracted, to determine the low frequency signal component rate of the monitor output signal for noise canceling as identical to the low frequency signal component rate of the reproduced high frequency signal, and an arithmetic circuit for generating the reproduced high frequency signal with the laser noise components cancelled by canceling the laser noise components extracted from the monitor output signal for noise canceling with a low frequency signal component rate deter…
