摘要:
An optical information recording and reproducing apparatus capable of recording and reproducing information data accurately with respect to an optical recording medium. The optical information recording and reproducing apparatus includes an aberration correction part which corrects aberration of the optical system. The apparatus determines whether or not an aberration correction by the aberration correction part is completed based on the signal level read from the optical recording medium, while changing a spherical aberration correction amount of the aberration correction part. The apparatus commences a recording operation or a reproducing operation of the optical information recording and reproducing apparatus if it is determined that the aberration correction was completed.

An aberration detector for easily detecting aberration of a lens in a short time period by utilizing an interferometer. The aberration detector includes a laser diode, a beam splitter for dividing a light beam into two light beams, an optical system for supporting a lens and converging a light beam passing through the lens to a converging point, a spherical mirror for reflecting the light beam passing through the lens, an image pickup element for detecting an interference pattern obtained by interference of a reference light and the light reflected on the spherical mirror, and an analyzer for analyzing the interference pattern. A center of a sphere constituting the spherical mirror is arranged in a position displaced from the converging point such that a plurality of circular fringes are concentrically arranged on the interference pattern.

An optical recording apparatus for writing information on an optical recording medium in which a recording surface is covered with a transparent layer. The information to be written on the optical recording medium is converted into a pulse signal, and spherical aberration occurring due to an error of a thickness of the transparent layer is detected, the pulse signal being controlled in accordance with the detected spherical aberration.

An optical pickup for reading information from a recording medium comprises a light illuminating portion for illuminating a plurality of light beams having different wavefronts onto a recording surface of the recording medium to create a plurality of light spots including a first light spot and a second light spot. The first and second light spots at least partially overlap with each other. A detector receives light beams reflected by the recording medium. The detector has a first light-receiving surface for receiving reflected light of the first light spot and a second light-receiving surface for receiving reflected light of the second light spot.

An optical pickup apparatus for properly detecting crosstalk amounts to a read signal for one track from adjacent tracks thereof and their balance. A difference between a second read signal value for one track at a time point when a first read signal value for one adjacent track is smaller than a first threshold value and a third read signal value for the other adjacent track is larger than a second threshold value and a second read signal value at a time point when the first read signal value is larger than the second threshold value and the third read signal value is smaller than the first threshold value is formed as a value indicative of a balance level of crosstalks to the second read signal. A difference between a second read signal value at a time point when the first read signal value is larger than the second threshold value and the third read signal value is larger than the second threshold value and a second read signal value at a time point when the first read signal value is smaller than the first threshold value and the third read signal value is smaller than the first threshold value is formed as a value indicative of a crosstalk amount to the second read signal.

A method of optically reproducing information from an optical recording medium on which concave or convex signal pits are formed, is provided with the steps of: irradiating each of pit edge portions of one signal pit which are opposed to each other, with a reading light respectively; detecting a reflection light from each of pit edge portions, separately, to output two detection signals indicating detected positions of the pit edge portions with respect to one signal pit; and reproducing one information recorded in one signal pit on the basis of the two detection signals.

A method of and apparatus for reading information, including error correction codes, is disclosed recording information is read out from one track a plurality of times at a reading velocity not lower than at least twice a normal velocity. On the basis of the plural pieces of information read out, the respective quantities of read errors contained in pieces of information are compared with each other so that one of the pieces of read-out information having the minimum quantity of read errors is selected. Accordingly, the selected information to be supplied to the error compensation circuit is the information having the minimum error rate in the sense of probability so that the compensated output further approaches the correct value.

A focus error detecting apparatus is improved by splitting the light detector into three portions, with a first portion located between second and third portions and being elongated. The elongation prevents an out-of-focus condition where the detection light spot is elliptically elongated in the elongation direction from being falsely detected as the focused condition.
