摘要:
An optical pickup apparatus including a polarization plane rotary unit arranged between a semiconductor laser and an objective lens, and a polarizing film arranged between the polarization plane rotary unit and the objective lens. The polarization plane rotary unit includes liquid crystal, two glass plates sandwiching the liquid crystal, and transparent electrodes patterned to a predetermined configuration on an inner face of these glass planes. The polarization plane rotary unit permits passage of the laser beam without rotating the plane of polarization of the entire laser beam at the time of recording, and permits passage of the laser beam with the plane of polarization of the center portion of the laser beam rotated and the plane of polarization of the remaining outer portion of the laser beam not rotated at the time of reproduction. Only the outer portion of the laser beam is focused on a magneto-optical disk in a reproduction mode, so that a main beam of a small spot is formed by mutual interference. Since the plane of polarization of the laser beam directed on the magneto-optical disk is not rotated, the Kerr angle of rotation can be detected at high accuracy. As a result, the reproducibility is improved.

An optical pickup device includes two objective lenses having numerical apertures different from each other, a lens holder for holding these objective lenses in common, a cylinder fixed to the lens holder, and four tracking coil pairs affixed onto a cylindrical surface of the cylinder. Two tracking coil pairs are displaced from the remaining two tracking coil pairs by a predetermined angle. When one objective lens is used, two tracking coil pairs corresponding to the objective lens are used for tracking control of the objective lens. The remaining two tracking coil pairs are used for positioning control of the objective lens.

A wavefront of a laser light is adjusted using a phase correcting element. The phase correcting element includes an electrode layer, an electrode layer arranged facing the former electrode layer, orientation films arranged on a surface facing the electrode layers, and a liquid crystal layer filled between the orientation films. One of the two electrode layers is formed with an electrode pattern (ring shaped electrode) for providing a spherical aberration correcting effect to the laser light within a constant distance from a center of a beam incident diameter, and a continuous electrode is arranged on an outer side thereof. Occurrence of the aberration by a lens shift is effectively suppressed by omitting electrodes arranged slightly on an inner side of the conventional beam incident diameter.

Micro-pits or micro-pit strings, which are disabled precise copying by means of illegal copying described above and enable signals different from signals of a normal disc to be detected in case of failure in precise copying, are recorded in a copy protected area of an optical disc beforehand. A read unit checks the copy protected area and determines a loaded disc is legal disc or illegally copied disc. If illegal, reading is prohibitted.

Provided is an optical pickup device in which the deterioration of optical characteristics of a laser light beam due to a deviation of an optical axis can be smoothly suppressed with a simple structure. An objective lens becomes a finite system for only a laser light beam for CD (780 nm in wavelength). A three-wavelength laser is disposed such that an optical axis of the laser light beam for CD is aligned with an optical axis of an optical system including a polarization BS to an optical axis correcting element. In this case, the large deterioration of the optical properties of the laser light beam for CD, which cannot be sufficiently compensated even if the objective lens is tilted, does not occur. A stable recording and reproducing operation using the laser light beam for CD can be performed. At this time, although an optical axis of a laser light beam for DVD and an optical axis of a laser light beam for next-generation DVD are deviated from an optical axis of the optical system, the laser light beams are incident on the objective lens as infinite system light beams, so the deterioration of the optical properties due to the deviation can be suppressed by tilting the objective lens.

Provided is an optical pickup device whose optical axis adjustment can be performed while an increase in cost is suppressed and whose optical axis correction can be accurately performed even when a variation in arrangement between laser elements occurs. The optical pickup device includes a semiconductor 101 that houses at least three laser elements having at least three different emission wavelengths in a single package, and first and second diffraction gratings 102 and 111 for substantially matching optical axes of lasers emitted from the laser elements with the optical axis of the reference laser beam by a diffraction effect. The first diffraction grating 102 matches an optical axis of a laser beam for CD (780 nm in wavelength) with the reference optical axis by a diffraction effect. The second diffraction grating 111 matches an optical axis of a laser beam for DVD (655 nm in wavelength) with the reference optical axis by a diffraction effect. Even when a variation occurs in a light emitting point gap between the laser elements, by performing fine adjustment of the corresponding diffraction grating in the reference optical axis direction, the optical axis of the laser beam can be adjusted.

摘要:
Provided is an optical pickup device capable to suppress an occurrence of an aberration on a recording medium and a decrease of power of laser beams while employing a diffraction grating as an optical axis correction element. The laser element emitting the laser beam for CD (780 nm in wavelength) is disposed between the laser element emitting the laser beam for next-generation DVD (405 nm in wavelength) and the laser element emitting the laser beam for DVD (650 nm in wavelength). Only the laser beam for DVD is aligned by a diffraction effect of the optical axis correction element (diffraction grating) with the optical axis of the laser beam for next generation DVD. It is possible that a decrease of laser power due to diffraction efficiency is suppressed as much as possible because only the optical axis of the laser beam for DVD is aligned with the optical axis of the laser beam for next-generation DVD. Also it is possible that the optical axis of the laser beam for CD not subjected to the optical axis correction is brought close to the optical axis of laser beam for next-generation DVD considerably, thereby an aberration occurring in the laser beam for CD can be suppressed at minimum level.
