Abstract
An optical disk device includes a DPDTE signal generating section that detects misalignment between a light spot and a mark or a pit, an FE signal generating section, an optical crosstalk correcting section which corrects a signal output by the FE signal generating section using the DPDTE signal generating section, and a focus control section which controls an actuator so that a light beam converges on an information layer. The DPDTE signal generating section detects the misalignment on the basis of phase information obtained from signals received from predetermined light receiving areas. The optical crosstalk correcting section performs a correcting operation of removing a signal component from predetermined receiving areas of a detector which component is used for a DPDTE signal, the signal component being contained in the signals from the predetermined light receiving areas of the detector which signals are used by the FE signal generating section.
