    摘要: A focus lens and a zoom lens group having a first zoom lens and a second zoom lens are controlled separately from one another in an internal-focus camera. The positions of the focus lens and the second zoom lens in the zoom lens group are tracked, and are controlled to approach no closer to one another than a minimum safe distance to avert collisions between the focus lens and the second zoom lens.

    摘要: An illumination system for illuminating a scan region on an object and for providing a white level reference for a detector may comprise a light source for producing light rays and an elongate lens having a first end and a second end positioned between the light source and the scan region. The lens collects some of the light rays from the light source and directs them onto the scan region. A first spot lens is positioned adjacent the first end of the elongate lens and a second spot lens is positioned adjacent the second end of the elongate lens. The first and second spot lenses direct some of the light rays from the light source toward first and second ends of the scan line. A white level reference mark is positioned adjacent the lens and the light source so that some of the light rays from the light source are reflected by the white level reference mark to the detector.

    摘要: A miniature rotary actuator optical head assembly incorporating data and servo detecting elements mounted inside a source/detector module, which is located on the rotary actuator arm adjacent to the pivot point of the rotary actuator arm. The miniature rotary actuator optical head also includes a miniature focus motor which supports a fold mirror and an objective lens and repositions the fold mirror and objective lens simultaneously whenever a focus error is received. The focus motor can be actuated by a magnetic bias field that originates external to the rotary actuator arm, particularly the magnetic bias field generated for magneto-optical recordation. The optical assembly may also include two stage tracking by mounting the light source on a pair of lateral movement flexures and supplying a fine tracking error signal to actuate the movement of the light source.

    摘要: When doing multitrack seek or a single track jump, the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum of a tracking error signal is determined. A peak detector detects the positive peak and the negative peak. These maximum and minimum values are stored in a sample and hold circuit. A summing circuit determines the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum of the tracking error signal. An operational amplifier provides a true error signal to the servo control system that provides the appropriate servo operating point. The invention is based on the fact that even though there is no absolute reference signal indicating the appropriate on-track position, the tracking servo system obtains the track error over the whole range of positions relative to track center when doing a multitrack seek or a single track jump. The appropriate servo operating point is the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum of the track error signal. This provides compensation for level shifts due to factors such as beam displacement, or detector mispositioning, changes in read/write beam profile, and disk tilt. The present invention solves the key disadvantage of the continuous groove tracking method by eliminating tracking offsets without adding additional information to the disk. It also avoids imposing overhead on the data channel. It compensates for effects of disk tilt, detector misalignment, detector and amplifier offsets, and beam decentration due to fine tracking.

    摘要: A two-stage beam positioning apparatus for use in an optical data storage device is provided. A fixed assembly includes a light beam source and detector, light beam focusing and track following apparatus. The fixed assembly is optically coupled to a movable assembly which provides coarse positioning of a focused light spot on a data storage medium such as an optical recording disc. The coarse positioning assembly is mechanically independent from the light beam source and detector assembly and, therefore, may be made very stiff and light resulting in a high bandwidth and reduced data access time. Since the light beam source and detector assembly and the focusing and track following control apparatus are mechanically isolated from the movable coarse positioning assembly, the size and mass of these components are not critical and do not affect data access time.
