摘要:
An optical pickup includes a first source which emits a first beam with a first wavelength; a second source which emits a second beam with a wavelength shorter than the first wavelength; a first collimate lens which collimates the first beam; a second collimate lens which collimates the second beam; a first objective lens which converges the first collimated beam onto an optical disc; and a second objective lens which converges the second collimated beam onto the disc. The first and second objective lenses are arranged in the disc radial direction. The second objective lens is arranged closer to the side of the disc outer circumference than the first objective lens. The first collimate lens is arranged on the right-hand side when the second objective lens is viewed from the first objective lens. The second collimate lens is arranged on the left-hand side when the first objective lens is viewed from the second objective lens. The gap between the first collimate lens and the first objective lens is larger than the gap between the second collimate lens and the second objective lens.

An optical pickup apparatus is provided with a dividing element having a plurality of regions. The dividing element is capable of dividing a light flux reflected by the optical disc into a plurality of light fluxes having different outgoing directions. Each region of the dividing element and light receiving parts of a light detector are structured such that when a target information recording layer of the optical disc is brought into focus, a light flux reflected from the target information recording layer is focused on the light receiving parts of the light detector, and a light flux reflected from other information recording layer than the target information recording layer is not irradiated onto the light receiving parts of the light detector.
摘要:
The invention provides an optical disc apparatus which restricts an operation sound generated from an objective lens driving portion of an optical pickup and has a reduce sound, in an optical disc apparatus, in particular, an optical disc apparatus installing a microphone for recording an external voice therein. Coils (107, 108), a magnet (109) and opposing surfaces of a yoke (110) are respectively arranged at substantially point symmetrical positions with respect to an optical axis (111) of an objective lens (103) in a state in which no electric current is applied, the yoke (110) and a unit base (117) are connected via a spring member (118), and the unit base (117) is mounted to a casing (120). In this case, the spring member (118) is connected at a position (121) forward apart from the objective lens (103) with respect to the yoke (110), and is formed so as to have at least a deformation freedom in a direction of the optical axis of the objective lens (103). The casing (120) is made in a closed structure surrounding a space in which the unit base (117), a lens holder (106), the yoke (110) and the magnet (109) are arranged, except a surface opposing to a disc-like recording medium (104).
