    摘要: An optical head (1) for scanning an optical record carrier (2) is provided with a compensator (16) for compensating the field curvature aberration of the objective system (18) caused by operation of the optical head at a different field angles. A surface of the compensator (16) comprises a phase structure in the form of annular areas (52, 53, 54, 55, 56), the areas forming a non-periodic pattern of optical paths of different lengths. The optical paths change as a function of field angle and form a field angle-dependent wavefront deviation that compensates field curvature of the optical head.

    摘要: This invention relates to an optical scanning device for scanning an optical record carrier and detecting a tilt characteristic of the optical record carrier during scanning. The device includes a redirecting structure (26) arranged on an objective lens (10) to redirect a part of a radiation beam, when travelling towards the record carrier, differently to a main part of the radiation beam. The redirected beam part follows a path which is different to that of a path followed by the main beam part, towards a position sensitive detector in a detection system (16).

The scanning device further comprises means (19) for generating a focus error signal (FES) by combining signals produced by said detector segments, means (19) for generating a central aperture signal by adding signals from all the detector segments, and means (19, 21) for determining when said central aperture signal exceeds a predefined threshold, indicating a useful range of said focus error signal, and, when this is the case, adjusting the focus of said objective lens (15) based on said focus error signal. According to this design, the CA-signal ensures that tracking is only based on the focus error signal in a range in which tracking can be based on it, thereby ensuring satisfactory closed loop tracking.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for measuring the depth of data record layers of an optical storage disc having a cover layer of thickness d, an entrance surface (S), and, for example, a first data layer (L0), a second data layer (L1) and a third data layer (L2). The optical apparatus comprises a spherical aberration compensator (SA), and an objective lens (OL) mounted in an actuator (AC), the actuator (AC) receiving a current I and being arranged and configured to move the objective lens (OL) in the z (axial) axis relative to the optical storage disc. Light incident on the objective lens (OL) is converged into a cone-like beam such that it is focussed on one of the data layers (D1). A control signal is used to keep the scanning spot focussed on the data layer (L1). This control signal is the focus error signal (FES) and is provided by the actuator drive (AC). In order to provide the spherical aberration compensator (SA) with right control signal, the depth of each data layer must be measured and means are provided for measuring the depth of the data layer(s) of a single- or multi-layer disc, and this achieved by using the distance between zero-crossings of the focus error signal (FES).
