摘要:
An optical pickup and an optical recording and/or reproducing apparatus adopting the same are provided. The optical pickup includes an optical unit (10), first and second objective lenses (60, 70), and an optical path switching unit (50, 150, 250). The optical unit illuminates light onto an information storage medium (1) and receives light reflected from the information storage medium (1) to detect an information signal and/or an error signal. The first and the second objective lenses (60, 70) focus incident light to form a light spot on an information storage surface of the information storage medium (1). The optical path switching unit (50, 150, 250) selectively directs the light incident from the optical unit to one of the first and second objective lenses (60, 70). In the optical pickup, since the light quantity directed to a plurality of objective lenses may be maximized, optical efficiency is increased and thus high-speed operation may be attained.
摘要:
An optical pickup including an optical member (25) which inhibits interference light reflected from an adjacent layer from being received by a photodetector (40) when an optical information storage medium includes a plurality of recording layers on at least one side thereof. The optical pickup suppresses a photodetector, especially first and second sub-photodetectors (241, 245) of the photodetector, from receiving the interference light reflected from the adjacent layer.

An optical pickup including: first and second light sources (601; 701) for generating laser beams having different wavelengths, corresponding to first and second media (100) having different thicknesses, respectively; an objective lens (200) having diverging and focusing portions, for focusing the laser beams from the first and second light sources (601; 701) onto the first and second media (100), respectively; at least one photodetector (602; 702) for receiving the laser beams which are emitted from the first and second light sources (601; 701) and reflected, respectively, by the first and second media (100); and a collimating lens (400) arranged on the optical path between the objective lens (200), and the first and second light sources (601; 701). The optical pickup is compatible with both existing digital versatile disks (DVDs), and high-definition (HD)-DVDs, which need a blue light source near 405 nm and an objective lens having a numerical aperture of 0.6 or more.
摘要:
An aberration correction element (130) having first and second retardation members (31,35) whose refractive indices are different for a predetermined polarized light beam, so that the first and second retardation members causes a phase difference of an incoming light beam according to the polarization of the incoming light beam, and an optical pickup adopting the aberration correction element are provided. When the aberration correction element is designed such that a phase difference caused by the aberration correction element (130) with respect to a wavelength variation of incoming light beam (101a) increases or decreases with increasing distance from the optical axis, and then adopted in an optical pickup for high-density recording and reproduction with a shorter wavelength light beam, chromatic aberration caused by a slight wavelength variation between record and reproduction modes can be corrected with high light efficiency. The aberration correction element selectively causes a phase difference of incoming light beam according to the polarization of the incoming light beam, and thus it can be adopted in an optical pickup compatible for high-density and low-density recording media (100) using two polarized light beams (101,102) perpendicular to each other.
