Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Selon l'invention, des sites constitués de plages (73) vierges de tout enregistrement d'informations sont aménagés le long des pistes (7). Dans une variante préférée ces plages sont précédées de drapeaux (74) associés à un code spécifique. According to the invention, sites made up of beaches (73) free of any recording of information are arranged along the tracks (7). In a preferred variant, these ranges are preceded by flags (74) associated with a specific code. L'asservissement est réalisé en mesurant l'écart entre le plan de focalisation d'un faisceau en une tache d'exploration (3) des pistes (7) et le plan de référence que constitue la surface des plages vierges. Entre deux passages de ces plages (73) les mesures sont mémorisées. Le signal d'erreur de focalisation est obtenu par filtrage de ces mesures. The slaving is carried out by measuring the difference between the focusing plane of a beam in an exploration spot (3) of the tracks (7) and the reference plane that constitutes the surface of the virgin areas. Between two passages of these ranges (73) the measurements are stored. The focusing error signal is obtained by filtering these measurements.
