Abstract
An optical disc apparatus includes an emitter which emits a laser beam to a optical disc, a divided photodetector including a first dived portion and a second dived portion disposed in a light path of the reflected beam from the optical disc, and producing a first photodetector signal and a second photodetector signal, a phase difference detector which produces a phase difference signal from a phase difference between the first and the second photodetector signals, an integrator which produces a integral signal from a integration of the phase difference signal, a tracking controller configure to perform tracking control based on the integral signal, and a limiter which limits a signal to be supplied from the divided photodetector to the phase difference detector or a signal to be supplied from the phase difference detector to the integrator based on a detection status of a signal detected by the dived photodetector.
