    摘要: PURPOSE: To reduce the leakage of a control signal to an information signal by detecting the control signal for automatic focusing and automatic tracking by means of a first photodetector and detecting the information signal recorded in an information carrier. CONSTITUTION: A reflected light beam from a recording surface is made incident on an optical system 7 through an objective lens 5 and a polarizing beam splitter 4. The optical system 7 diffracts a proper light quantity among the reflected light beam, introduces it to a photodetector 9 and detects a tracking error signal and focusing error signal. The rest of the reflected beam is transmitted though the optical element 7 and reaches another photodetector 30 through a detector 28 and a condenser lens 29. Consequently, the mutual leakage among the tracking error signal, the focusing error signal and the information signal is reduced. In this case, by composing a photodetector for detecting the tracking error signal and the focusing error signal and a photodetector for detecting the information signal independently, the arithmetic processing of the detected signal is facilitated.

    摘要: PURPOSE:To provide a small sized, thin optical head device obtaining diffracted light beams through a diffraction grating and detecting them with a photodetector by providing a lambda/4 plate between the diffraction grating and an information recording surface and making a reflecting optical flux from the information recording surface an S polarization. CONSTITUTION:A beam outgoing from a semiconductor laser 11 becomes parallel rays of light by a collimate lens 12 to be incident on a light splitter 13. The light splitter 13 consists of two sheets of parallel plates 14, 16 and the diffraction grating 15 held between them. The diffraction grating 15 is formed so that the diffraction efficiency becomes nearly 100% for the S polarization and nearly 0% for a P polarization. Since the beam from the semiconductor laser 11 is set to the P polarization for the light splitter 13, an incident beam hardly is diffracted to be incident on the lambda/4 plate 17. Thereafter, the incident beam becomes a circular polarization, and is converged on the information recording surface 20 by an objective lens 18. The reflecting optical flux transmits through the lambda/4 plate 17 to become the S polarization in the direction orthogonally intersecting with the incident time. The reflecting optical flux becomes the diffracted light beams by the diffraction grating 15, and are made incident on the photodetector 23 while repeating total reflection to be detected.

    摘要: PURPOSE:To easily perform the position adjustment of a photodetector by providing the split planes of a light splitter with plural areas which introduce reflected light to different light receiving planes. CONSTITUTION:A luminous flux from a laser beam source 31 is changed into a parallel luminous flux by a collimator lens 32, and made incident on the light splitter 41 in which diffraction gratings are formed in substrates 42, 43 consisting of plane-parallel plates. The luminous flux is transmitted as it is, and is made incident on a lambda/4 plate 34, and is changed into circularly polarized light, and after that, it is converged on an information recording plane 37 via a substrate 36 by an objective lens 35, and the luminous flux reflected on the recording plane 37 is changed into the parallel luminous flux by the objective lens 35, and is made to pass the lambda/4 plate 34 again, then, it is made incident on the light splitter 41 as polarized light oscillating in a direction incrossing orthogonally the direction in which it is made incident. Such reflected light is diffracted or reflected by the diffraction grating 44 in the light splitter 41, and is wave-guided repeating total reflection on the substrate 43, and is made incident on the photodetectors 39, 40. When information is recorded, the laser beam source 31 is driven according to an information signal, and it is recorded on the information recording plane 37, and when it is detected, the recoring plane 37 is irradiated with nonmodulated light, and reflected light modulated according to the information is detected by the photodetectors 39, 40, then, the information can be reproduced.

    摘要: PURPOSE:To satisfactorily perform the correction of aberration and to observe dis played information in a good state even in the case of applying on the surface of an asymmetrical glass substrate by disposing a 2nd beam deflecting member in an asymmetrical plane in a gravity direction against a plane formed of the center of a display device and the center of 1st and 2nd beam deflecting members. CONSTITUTION:The 2nd beam deflecting member 35 is disposed in the asymmetrical plane in the gravity direction against the plane formed of the center of the display device 9, the center of the 1st beam deflecting member 11 and the center of the 2nd beam deflecting member 35. For example, a luminous flux 1 having the wavelength of lambda0 from the display device 9 is made incident on the 1st beam deflecting member 11 at the angle of theta 1 and reflected and diffracted at the angle of theta 2 so as to become the luminous flux 2. The luminous flux 2 is made incident on the 2nd beam deflecting member 35 at the angle of theta 3 and reflected and diffracted at the angle of theta 4 so as to be guided to an observer 51 direction. Thus, the virtual image 49 of the displayed information displayed on the display device 9 is superposed on image information such as a scenery 101, etc., in front of the 2nd beam deflecting member 35, and then, both information is observed in a good state.

    摘要: PURPOSE:To improve various performances by a long wavelength laser, such as helium neon laser, by adding a styryl dyestuff as a sensitizer to a recording medium consisting of a polyvinyl carbazole polymer and a halogen compd. CONSTITUTION:The styryl dyestuff is added as the sensitizer to the recording medium consisting of the polyvinyl carbazole (PVCz system) polymer and the halogen compd. The PVCz polymers are the polymers essentially consisting of vinyl carbazole and its alkyl substd. deriv., etc., and are previously activated by the halogen compd. for radiations. The sensitizer is the dye which is made quaternary in the nitrogen atom in the molecule by binding of the styryl group with the heterocycle. The volume phase type hologram is formed by the long wavelength laser including the helium neon laser in this way and the various performances, such as light resistance, moisture resistance, diffraction efficiency, transparency, and low haze characteristic, are improved.
