Abstract
A tracking system for optically tracking information tracks formed on a recording medium, comprising a comparator which generates a trigger signal when the light beam scanning the information track is located over an information pit, and a sample holding circuit which samples a deviation signal caused by the difference of reflection light intensities on two photo detectors at that time. The deviation signal obtained when the light beam is located over the information pit includes smaller error component caused by the displacement of the object lens during the tracking control, whereby the accurate tracking control can be achieved.
