    摘要: An optical pickup device in which a main beam and a pair of sub-beams are used and a diffraction device is disposed between a recording medium and a light receiving device such as a photodetector is disclosed. The diffraction device comprises first to third diffraction regions. The second and third regions receive light beams from the recording medium which are substantially identical in amount to each other. The light receiving device comprises a first to a fourth light receiving regions. The first and second light receiving regions are juxtaposed, and separated by a line. The main beam which has been diffracted by the first diffraction region is focused onto said line. The main beam which has been diffracted by the second diffraction region is focused onto the first light receiving region. The main beam which has been diffracted by the third diffracting region is focused onto the second light receiving region. The sub-beams which have been diffracted by the diffraction device are focused onto the third and fourth light receiving regions, respectively. Alternatively, the diffraction device comprises an area where one or more diffraction regions are formed. The farthest point of the area at the side of the light receiving device is separated from the optical axis by a predetermined distance, to prevent the first order diffracted beam from entering the optical system disposed between the diffraction device and a recording medium.

    摘要: An optical pickup apparatus for reading out information from an optical disk. The optical pickup includes a light source; and an optical device having a grating pattern for splitting a light beam from said the source into a zero-order diffracted beam and plus and minus first-order diffracted beams. The grating pattern has the center portion and one or more side portions. The efficiency of the center portion for the zero-order diffracted beam is greater than the efficiency of the side portions for the zero-order diffracted beam.

    摘要: An optical pickup apparatus for reproducing information from an optical recording medium such as a compact disc comprising: a laser device; one or more diffraction devices; and a photodetector receiving a laser beam diffracted by the diffraction device. The surfaces of the diffraction device are provided with an antireflection coating. When the apparatus is used for the three-beam method, the two photodetecting areas in the photodetector for producing the tracking error signal are different in size and in positional relation to the laser device.

    摘要: An optical head device having an optical system provided with at least a light source, a shaping prism, a diffracting element and a photodetector. The light source emits light whose cross-sectional intensity distribution has an elliptic shape. The shaping prism directs the light to a recording medium after shaping the intensity distribution thereof into a circular shape. The diffracting element has diffracting regions formed by at least one division line parallel to a reference direction. The light reflected from the recording medium forms an elliptic bright portion on the diffracting element. The photodetector is divided by a plurality of division lines, at least one of which is parallel to the reference direction. When there is no focus error, the diffracting element diffracts the reflected light so as to converge it on the division line substantially parallel to the reference direction in the photodetector. For example, when the shaping prism is adapted to shape the elliptic intensity distribution with respect to its major axis direction, the optical system is arranged so that the major axis of the bright portion coincides with the division line of the diffracting element. Thus, it is possible to obtain preferable focusing control.

    摘要: An optical pickup device having an optical system provided with at least a light source, a shaping prism, a diffracting element and a photodetector. The light source projects light whose intensity distribution has an elliptical shape in its cross section orthogonal to the optical axis. The shaping prism directs the light to a recording medium after shaping the intensity distribution thereof into a circular shape. The diffracting element has diffraction regions formed by at least one division line substantially parallel to a reference direction. The light reflected from the recording medium forms an elliptical bright portion on the diffracting element. The photodetector is divided by a plurality of division lines, at least one of which is substantially parallel to the reference direction. The diffracting element diffracts the reflected light so as to converge it on the photodetector. Have, a hypothetical line extending from a projecting point of the light source through the center of a light-receiving face of the photodetector is also set to be parallel to the reference direction. For example, when the shaping prism is to shape the intensity distribution having the elliptical shape with respect to its minor axis direction, the optical system is arranged so that the minor axis of the bright portion is parallel to the division line of the diffracting element. Thus, it is possible to always obtain an accurate focusing control signal.
