摘要:
A system and method for processing an optical information on an optical record medium are disclosed in which a timing at which a scanning of a light spot on one record track of the optical record medium derived from an acoustooptic deflector is started is controlled on the basis of a tracking error signal indicating that a scanning trajectory of the light spot is deviated from a center line of the one record track on the optical record medium. Therefore, the light spot can accurately be tracked on each record track on the high density optical record medium such as a tape in a simple construction.

An apparatus for reproducing an optically recorded information on an optical record medium is disclosed in which a plurality of light sources which irradiate light beams on a plurality of record tracks are illuminated in a time sharing mode and a reproduced signal derived by a receipt of reproduced lights with a signal photo detecting element is processed so as to reproduce the information on the tracks, whereby a crosstalk due to the light sources which simultaneously irradiate the light beams on the plurality of mutually adjacent record tracks can be avoided and a simple construction of the optically recorded information reproducing apparatus can be achieved.
摘要:
An optical recording and/or reproducing apparatus employs an optical tape, an optical disc or the like as a record medium. The apparatus comprises an acousto-optic deflector which receives a light beam and generates a zero order beam which passes straight through the deflector and a first order beam which is deflected by the deflector. The zero and first order beams are separated from each other by a polarized beam splitter. The first order beam is projected via a 1/4 wavelength plate onto an optical record medium, while the zero order beam, which does not contribute to recording or reproduction of information signals, is shunted aside so that it does not reach the optical record medium. The reflected light beam from the optical record medium is extracted by the same polarized beam splitter and used for reproduction of the information signals.

An auto-changer has a shelf which holds magazines that contained differently sized cartridges. The magazines are conveyed to a recording/reproducing device and include discrimination information concerning the cartridges contained therein. Sensors detect the discrimination information, and a conveyor conveys the magazine between the housing shelf and the recording/reproducing devices based on the detected information.

Disclosed is an external magnetic field application device for use in an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus. The device has a winding wound on an outer periphery of a magnetic pole piece and a magnetic plate attached to the magnetic pole piece to form a magnetic circuit. The device includes a heat dissipation member arranged to contact an outer periphery of the winding for conducting heat generated in the winding, when the winding is energized, to the magnetic plate, and a metal plate arranged on top of the heat dissipation member for dissipating heat of the heat dissipation member.

A linear motor drive apparatus for moving a head carriage in a direction perpendicular to tracks on a recording medium includes a permanent magnet, first yoke for supporting the permanent magnet, a second yoke, and a coil fixed on the head carriage and wound around the second yoke. The permanent magnet is disposed in a direction parallel to a moving direction of the head carriage. The second yoke is disposed to be spaced apart from the permanent magnet at a predetermined interval. An adjusting mechanism is provided in the apparatus so as to adjust a relative position between the first and second yokes to adjust the predetermined interval.

Disclosed is magnetoptical disc apparatus for recording information in magnetoptical recording medium using a floating type magnetic head. The apparatus includes a floating type magnetic head for applying a modulated magnetic field to the medium, a leaf spring for supporting the magnetic head floatably above the medium, a retreating mechanism for moving the magnetic head from a position at which the magnetic head can contact the medium and a limiting device for limiting a deflection of the leaf spring when the retreating mechanism moves the magnetic head from the above-mentioned position. The driving stroke needed for moving the magnetic head can be reduced, and as a result, the retreating mechanism can be made small in size.
