Method and apparatus for adjusting focus offset based on target condition

An apparatus of an optical disc drive for adjusting a focus error signal, comprising:

• a focus offset determining unit for determining a target focus offset corresponding to a target laser power, wherein the focus offset determining unit obtains at least a first focus offset corresponding to a first laser power and a second focus offset corresponding to a second laser power before determining the target focus offset;
• an adjusting module, coupled to the focus offset determining unit, for receiving the focus error signal and adjusting the focus error signal with the target focus offset to generate an adjusted focus error signal;
• a multiplexer, coupled to the focus offset determining unit and the adjusting module;
• and
• a focus offset calibration unit, coupled to the multiplexer and the focus offset determining unit, for generating a first and a second focus offsets according to a first and a second laser powers respectively;
• wherein under calibration mode the focus offset calibration unit generates the first and second focus offsets by respectively adjusting different focus offsets outputted to the adjusting module via the multiplexer;
• and under normal mode the focus offset determining unit determines the target focus offset according to the first and second focus offsets generated by the focus offset calibration unit.
