Abstract
An information detection light intensity control apparatus in an apparatus reproducing information recorded in an optical disc in which a reflectance has a dependency on an incident light intensity, comprising a light source for emitting an information detection light which enters the optical disc and a control system for controlling an intensity of the information detection light which enters the optical disc so that a ratio of an intensity of the information detection light which enters the optical disc and an intensity of the information detection light reflected from the optical disc is set to a predetermined value. According to the information detection light intensity control apparatus, a spot head value of the information detection light is held to the optimum value by coping with an aberration of a fluctuation such as disc tilt, disc thickness variation, or the like or with a sensitivity fluctuation of a super resolution film so that the information recorded in the super resolution optical disc can be stably reproduced.
