We analyzed the variation of the focus error signal with the effect of land and groove, wavefront error, and optical system parameter variation for the knife-edge and astigmatism methods on the Land/Groove recordable optical disc, using a numerical simulation method. We verified causes of the zero-cross-shift that took place by the effect of land and groove by analyzing the diffraction beam including defocus wavefront errors. We also found that the sensitivty of the focus error signal was reduced by the effect of land and groove in the astigmatism method, as in the analysis of the focus error signal with the each order of the diffraction beam.
