Abstract

An optical controller includes a light source for emitting light, an object lens for condensing light emitted from the light source, a light detection unit for receiving light reflected on an optical information recording medium and outputting a signal corresponding to the amount of the light, and a laser control unit for controlling the amount of the light emitted from the light source to the information recording surface on which information is to be recorded or reproduced, based on the recording state of an information recording surface disposed closer to the object lens than an information recording surface on which the information is to be recorded or reproduced.
