    摘要: A tilt sensor includes a photodetector having a photosensitive plane (6) and detecting a light beam in multiple areas and outputting detection signals representing its intensities and a tilt detector for generating a tilt error signal, including information about the tilt of a disk, based on the detection signals. The light beam forms a beam spot (10) on the photosensitive plane. The beam spot includes a + first-order light area (10b) in which zero-order and + first-order light rays, diffracted by a track on the disk, are superposed, - first-order light area (10c) in which zero-order and - first-order light rays are superposed, and a zero-order light area (10a) which is sandwiched between the + first-order and - first-order light areas, includes neither the + first-order nor - first-order light ray, but includes a zero-order light ray. The photodetector generates the detection signals except for light entering an opaque area (11) provided for at least part of the zero-order light area.

    摘要: An optical head includes a laser light source, an optical system that applies 0-order diffracted light, +1-order diffracted light (SB1), and -1-order diffracted light (SB2), which are produced from laser light emitted from the laser light source, onto a recording medium having a plurality of information recording layers, and a light-receiving device for detecting reflected light guided by the optical system. The light-receiving device includes a first light-receiving section (A, B, C, D) for detecting reflected light of the 0-order diffracted light, two second light-receiving sections ((E, F), (G, H)) for detecting reflected light of the +1-order diffracted light (SB1) and reflected light of the -1-order diffracted light (SB2), and a third light-receiving section (I, J) provided near at least one of the second light-receiving sections ((E, F), (G, H)) to receive stray light reflected from one or more information recording layers other than a target information recording layer to be accessed.

    摘要: A device (1) for scanning an optical disc (6), the disc (6) comprising substantially parallel data tracks (10). The device (1) comprises an optical unit for creating track light spots (12) on the data tracks (10) and a plurality of detector light spots on a plurality of signal detectors. The device further comprises a focus error unit for with a beam manipulating element (21, 22, 22a, 92) for providing for at least one of the reflected beams a first optical path (24) to a first segmented detector (8a) and a second optical path (25) to a second segmented detector (8b). The lengths of the first optical path (24) and the second optical path (25) exhibit a difference (Dd), such that an intensity distribution of a first detector light spot on the first segmented detector (8a) is equal to an intensity distribution of a second detector light spot on the second segmented detector (8b) when the at least one track light spot is correctly focussed and that the intensity distribution on the first segmented detector (8a) differs from the intensity distribution on the second segmented detector (8b) when the at least one track light spot is not correctly focussed. The difference (Dd) is substantially less than a quotient of a distance between two adjacent detector light spots (Ds) and a numerical aperture (NA) of the lens (7). A dimension (Dl) of a light detecting area of the segmented detectors in a direction of adjacent detector light spots is less than the distance (Ds) between two adjacent detector light spots.

    摘要: An optical head comprising a light source, an object lens, a light splitting means, a light receiving element, a tracking error signal detecting means, and a spherical aberration detecting means, wherein the light splitting means has six regions divided by a first splitting line parallel to the longitudinal direction of information tracks and by second and third splitting lines perpendicular to the first splitting line, and the spherical aberration detecting means compares the deviation of a first focus point obtained from a light flux passed through two regions disposed between second and third splitting lines with the deviation of a second focus point obtained from a light flux passed through four regions disposed on the outer side of the second and third splitting lines to generate a spherical aberration error signal for detecting a spherical aberration generated at the object lens.
