Abstract
There is a need to provide correction of a temperature characteristic of an optical pickup of an optical disk recording/reproducing apparatus, in which items of the optical pickup including spherical aberration may be improved in temperature characteristic. To achieve the need, an optical disk drive is characterized by correcting a spherical aberration correction element when variation of a signal from the control circuit to the driver and/or a tracking or focusing error signal supplied to the controller has a value equal to or more than a predetermined value.
