An optical storage apparatus, a preamplifier and a method of generating a
tracking error signal. The optical storage apparatus includes a pickup
head, a preamplifier, and a servo control. The pickup head generates
radio frequency (RF) signals. The preamplifier includes a signal
adjusting apparatus, a phase detector, a charge pump, and a circuit. The
signal adjusting apparatus has input terminals for receiving the RF
signals. At least two of the input terminals are substantially
short-circuited when the optical storage apparatus is in a calibration
mode. The phase detector generates control signals based on the phase
differences between the radio frequency signals. The circuit generates
current control signal based on the tracking error signal when the
optical storage apparatus is in the calibration mode. The current
magnitude of at least one of the current sources in the charge pump is
determined according to the current control signal.
