Abstract
An optical pickup apparatus comprises a semiconductor laser output controller for emitting laser beam, a photodetector for detecting the emitted laser beam, a sampling processor for performing a sampling process, an averaging processor for performing an averaging process, a pulse current generator for generating erase current pulses, write current pulses, and read current pulses, and a controllerfor controlling the above components. The apparatus adds averaged values and sampled values and controls the semiconductor laser output controller based on the result of the addition and on the current pulses.
