Abstract
A tracking control device includes a signal detector that detects a tracking error signal, and a crossing direction, a crossing period and a crossing velocity of an objective lens from a detection signal of an optical detector, a tracking drive signal generator that generates a tracking drive signal on the basis of the tracking error signal, a velocity-reduction drive signal generator that generates a velocity reduction drive signal for converging the crossing velocity into a vicinity of zero on the basis of the crossing direction and the crossing period, a loop switch, and a system controller that causes to executes velocity reduction driving for driving the objective lens actuator on the basis of the velocity reduction drive signal and that controls each of the members so as to switch from the velocity reduction driving to driving for driving the objective lens actuator on the basis of the tracking drive signal.
