    Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting beam power generated by a plurality of light sources, using a single device. The apparatus includes a light-receiving unit that receives the beam power generated by one of a plurality of light sources, and an amplifying unit that selects a gain, amplifies the beam power received by the light-receiving unit according to the selected gain, and outputs the beam power amplified as a detected beam power. According to the apparatus and method, received beam power (or amplification gain) is amplified by a gain determined according to the characteristics of the respective light sources. Thus, it is possible to provide the detected beam power in consideration of a sufficient dynamic range for the each light source, thereby realizing effective APC.

    Abstract: An optical pickup includes a light source module in which first and second light sources that emit first and second light beams of different wavelengths are integrated into a single package, an objective lens that focuses the first and second light beams to form a light spot on a recording surface of a recording medium, a light path changer that changes a path along which the first and second light beams propagate, a photodetector that receives the first and second light beams entered via the objective lens and the light path changer and detects an information signal and/or error signal, and an optical element disposed on a path along which the first and second light beams propagate to act as a lens with respect to only one of the first and second light beams so as to correct a position difference along a light propagation direction between the first and second light sources. Accordingly, it possible to correct a position difference along a light propagation axis between the two light sources in the light source module. Obtaining the same light propagation axis is made possible by using the optical element to make the two light propagation axes coincidental or by using a separate optical element to perform this function. This allows the optical pickup to be used for recording as well as for reproducing.

    Abstract: An optical pickup of an optical disk drive. The optical pickup includes a laser beam source for generating a laser beam; a pickup base having an objective lens for projecting the laser beam generated from the laser beam source to an information recording surface of an optical disk; a variation adjusting plate which is movably disposed on the pickup base to be moved in vertical and lateral directions, and has a rotational hole formed at a central portion thereof; and a rotation adjusting plate including a rotational section having a predetermined curvature which is inserted into the rotational hole of the variation adjusting plate, and with a laser beam source fixed therein, the rotation adjusting plate being rotated with respect to the variation adjusting plate. An optical system including a collimating lens and a reflective mirror is fixed to the pickup base. Since the light path with respect to the field angle and the beam shift is adjusted by moving and/or rotating the light emitting point of the laser beam source with respect to the light axis of the collimating lens, the size of the optical pickup becomes smaller. Further, since the collimating lens and the light source are fixed to the respective structures, the light path is controlled regardless of the focal distance of the collimating lens. Accordingly, if the focal distance of the collimating lens has to be lengthened, the beam shift and the field angle can be precisely adjusted without enlarging the optical pickup.

    Abstract: In an optical pickup, a focus error detector for detecting a focus error of an objective lens for an optical disk includes a focusing lens for focusing the reflected light of the optical disk, a diffraction optical device for diffracting the reflected light focused by the focusing lens into two light rays, two bi-segmented photo-detectors for receiving the two split light rays, respectively, and a circuit for outputting a desired focus error signal from the signal detected from the photo-detectors. The circuit outputs a pure focus error signal without errors created by the deviation of the light amount in the photo-detectors due to the tilt or shift of the reflected light, thereby contributing to the stable operation and miniaturization of the optical pickup.
