摘要:
An optical pickup includes a polarization component separation element which is formed as a unit or single piece of birefringence material. The separation element is not laminated obviating the need to carefully match the optical axes of the laminated pieces. Multiple reflections within the birefringent crystal which comprises the separation element improves the separation and resolution of the polarized components which are extracted from a laser beam reflected back off the media surface.

摘要:
When an optical disc apparatus reproduces information from an optical disc, it converges a reading light beam emitted from an LED to substantially collimated light and projects it to the optical disc to cause it to be reflected by reflection surface thereof so as to make it become a reading reflected light beam. Then, the apparatus converges the reading reflected light beam by a mark layer selection lens, detects the reading reflected light beam passing through the target position by a detection region located at the confocal point of the target position and generates a detection signal. Subsequently, the apparatus recognizes the presence or absence of a recording mark based on the detection signal to reproduce the information. Thus, the apparatus can detect the state of the reading reflected light beam observed when it passes the target position and can recognize the presence or absence of a recording mark.
