ABSTRACT:
A light modulating apparatus for use with a recording apparatus for recording an information signal on a recording medium includes a light source and an acousto-optic modulator for modulating light emitted from the light source in response to a first electrical signal and thereby producing a modulated light signal for acting on the recording medium. Additionally, the apparatus includes an information signal source for providing an information signal, a high frequency oscillator for producing a carrier signal, a signal modulator for modulating the carrier signal by the information signal and providing therefrom the first electrical signal, and a photo-detector for detecting the modulated light signal and producing in response thereto a second electrical signal. The apparatus further comprises a peak-holding circuit for holding substantially a peak value of the second electrical signal, a comparator for comparing the peak value of the second electrical system with a reference signal and providing a corresponding error signal, and an amplitude modulator for controlling the amplitude of the carrier signal in accordance with the error signal.
