    摘要: An optical head for recording or reproducing a signal with respect to an optical recording medium, which includes an optical element disposed between a light source and an optical recording medium. The optical element has an optically active polymer film in which an optical rotation property changes with respect to an applied voltage, a pair of conductive transparent thin films for applying a voltage to the optically active polymer film, and a transmittance polarization anisotropic part having a different transmittance with respect to a polarization direction, which is disposed on one of the conductive transparent thin films. By changing the applied voltage to the optically active polymer film, a light quantity of a linearly polarized light transmitted through the optical element can be changed substantially instantaneously. Therefore, the power of light reaching the optical recording medium can be switched substantially instantaneously at the time when switched between recording and reproduction.

The tracking error signal generator reduces a difference between a first signal amplitude and a second signal amplitude. The first signal amplitude is an absolute value of a difference between first and second signal levels. The second signal amplitude is an absolute value of a difference between the first and third signal levels. The first signal level is a value of the tracking error signal obtained when the beam emitted by the light source is radiated to a center of the track. The second and third signal levels are, respectively, a maximum value and a minimum value of the tracking error signal obtained when the information memory medium is scanned by the beam emitted by the light source in a direction perpendicular to the track.

    摘要: An optical pickup head apparatus comprises a first coherent light source for emitting a coherent light serving as a main beam, and a second coherent light source for emitting a coherent light having a polarized plane at a right angle to the polarized plane of the coherent light emitted from the first coherent light source. When the coherent light emitted from the second coherent light source is incident upon a phase plate, the phase plate yields a sub-beam presenting a distribution of light intensity having peak values at at least both sides of the center of the sub-beam on a plane vertical with respect to the optical axis of the coherent light. Focusing means overlaps the main beam emitted from the first coherent light source on the sub-beam emitted from the phase plate, causing the resulting overlapped beam to be focused on the information-recorded surface of an optical disk. When a focused beam as reflected from the information-recorded surface of the optical disk is incident upon polarized beam separating means, the polarized beam separating means yields the transmitted beam as divided into the main beam and the sub-beam. Optical detecting means individually detects and supplies the light intensities of the main beam and the sub-beam emitted from the polarized beam separating means.

    摘要: In a photodetector, the minimum size of the photodetection area for detecting a focus error signal from a light beam on the inner radius side of a hologram is made smaller than the minimum diameter of diffracted light beam spots (30, 31) for recording and reproduction, and when a CD is reproduced, a light beam close to the optical axis is made to significantly contribute to the focus error signal and the minimum size of the photodetection area for detecting the focus error signal from a light beam from the peripheral side of the hologram is made larger than the minimum diameter of diffracted light beam spots (130, 131) for recording and reproduction, whereby the focus error signal is made equal to the normal focus error signal when a DVD is reproduced, so that the focus offset variation caused when the base material thickness varies can be reduced.
