Abstract
The disclosed device is directed towards an optical data storage system. The optical data storage system comprises an optical medium including a servo plane and at least one data plane. A first laser is positioned to generate a servo laser beam and address the servo plane with a first servo focus spot. A second laser is positioned to generate a read-write laser beam and address the data plane with a second read-write focus spot. A first servo system is associated with the first laser and is configured to provide focus and tracking error correction according to servo information associated with the servo plane. A second servo system is associated with the second laser and is configured to provide focus and tracking error correction according to servo information associated with the data plane.
