1. An optical disk drive, comprising:

  • a plurality of photodetectors for receiving reflected light from an optical disk, each photodetector providing a photodetector output signal;

    an analog-to-digital converter for converting low-pass filtered and gain-adjusted versions of the photodetector output signals into digital signals; and

    a digital signal processor configured to receive the digital signals, the digital signal processor being further configured to determine a focus error signal (FES) and a tracking error signal (TES) from the digital signals, the digital signal processor being further configured to process TES and FES through servo algorithms to produce tracking and focus control signals.
