A gap servo control method and apparatus for increasing a disturbance cancellation capability and decreasing the occurrence of an overshoot in a near-field optical disc drive include: generating an actuator driving signal of a transient response process by using a signal obtained by removing a disturbance contained in the gap error signal using a first band when a level of a gap error signal reaches a first level; and generating the actuator driving signal of the transient response process by using a signal obtained by removing the disturbance contained in the gap error signal using a second band when the level of the gap error signal reaches a second level.

Gap servo control method and apparatus in near-field optical disc drive

An optical disc apparatus, and a method of driving the same, includes a light focusing element disposed to focus light emitted from a light source onto a disc; an actuator to move the light focusing element toward or away from the disc according to a voltage applied to the actuator; a light intensity detection unit to detect the intensity of light reflected from the disc; a servo unit to generate a gap error signal and a third voltage, the third voltage being the sum of a first voltage and a second voltage, and to apply the generated third voltage to the actuator; and a control unit to control the servo unit to perform a gap pull-in operation when the light focusing element is moved toward the disc according to the gap error signal and the third voltage.
