    摘要: An attachment lens is arranged in a stage subsequent to a scanning lens. After a laser beam is converged by the scanning lens, the laser beam is converted into a parallel beam by the attachment lens. When the scanning lens is displaced in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the laser beam, a traveling direction of the laser beam is bent by a predetermined angle immediately after the laser beam passes through the scanning lens. Then, the traveling direction of the laser beam is further bent by a predetermined angle in the same direction by the passage of the laser beam through the attachment lens. Accordingly, a final swing angle of the laser beam outgoing from an outgoing window is increased by a swing angle imparted by the attachment lens compared with the case where the attachment lens is not arranged. One of lens surfaces of the attachment lens is formed in a toroidal surface, which allows the laser beam to have a long outline in a vertical direction.

    摘要: A scan trajectory of a laser beam is controlled based on external signals each related to a driving direction and a driving speed, a result obtained by detection of an obstacle, and signals related to distances to the obstacle. For example, at the time of a right turn, a scan trajectory for increasing scan frequency on a portion shifted in a right-turn direction from a center axis in a driving direction is set. At the time of high-speed driving, a scan trajectory for increasing scan frequency on a center portion in the driving direction is set. When the obstacle is detected at a position corresponding to a distance shorter than a threshold distance, a scan trajectory for increasing scan frequency in the vicinity of the obstacle is set. Detection and monitoring are performed at the time of: changing of the driving direction, the high-speed driving, and the detection of the obstacle.

    摘要: An irradiation pattern of a laser beam within a target region is controlled based on external signals each related to a driving direction and a driving speed, a result obtained by detection of an obstacle, and signals related to distances to the obstacle. For example, at the time of a right turn, an irradiation pattern for increasing irradiation frequency on a portion shifted in a right-turn direction from a center axis in a driving direction is set. At the time of high-speed driving, an irradiation pattern for increasing irradiation frequency on a center portion of a forward region in the driving direction is set. When the obstacle is detected and a distance to the obstacle is shorter than a threshold distance, an irradiation pattern for increasing irradiation frequency in the vicinity of the obstacle is set. Detection of the obstacle and monitoring of a state thereof are adequately and smoothly performed at the time of changing of the driving direction, the time of high-speed driving, and the time of detection of the obstacle.

    摘要: A light-emitting device 100 has ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10 used for applying drive voltage for light-emission to a light-emitting layer section 24, and is designed so as to extract light from the light-emitting layer section 24 through the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10. The light-emitting device 100 also has contact layers composed of In-containing GaAs, formed between the light-emitting layer section 24 and the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10, so as to contact with the ITO transparent electrode layers respectively. The contact layers 7, 9 are formed by annealing a stack 13 obtained by forming GaAs layers 7′, 9′ on the light-emitting layer section, and by forming the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10 so as to contact with the GaAs layers 7′, 9′, to thereby allow In to diffuse from the ITO transparent electrode layers 8, 10 into the GaAs layers 7′, 9′. This provides a method of fabricating a light-emitting device, in which the ITO transparent electrode layers as the light-emission drive electrodes are bonded as being underlain by the contact layers, to thereby reduce contact resistance of these electrodes, and to thereby make the contact layers less susceptible to difference in the lattice constants with those of the light-emitting layer section during the formation thereof.

    摘要: An optical pickup device includes a semiconductor laser, a collimater lens, an optical member, a halfmirror, an objective lens, a collecting lens and a photodetector. The collimator lens collimates a laser beam from the semiconductor laser. The optical member diffracts the laser beam which has been collimated by the collimator lens outward along the direction of the shorter diameter of the laser beam, and emits a laser beam having a prescribed aspect ratio. The halfmirror passes the laser beam from optical member and reflects one half the light reflected from a signal recording surface of an optical disk to the photodetector. The objective lens focuses the laser beam on the signal recording surface. The collective lens collects the laser beam from the halfmirror. The photodetector detects the laser beam. Therefore, the optical pickup device is capable of converting the aspect ratio of the laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser, and hence it becomes possible to irradiate the optical disk with the laser beam having sufficient power for recording a signal.

    摘要: An optical pickup device which includes a semiconductor laser selectively generating a laser beam with a wavelength of 635 nm, a laser beam with a wavelength of 780 nm, and an optical device having a central region in which a hologram is formed and a peripheral region in which a diffraction grating is formed. In particular, the optical device is arranged immediately below an objective lens, and the central region allows transmission of the laser beam with the wavelength of 635 nm without any diffraction but increases the diameter of the teaser beam to the wavelength of 780 nm by diffraction. On the other hand, peripheral region allows transmission of the laser beam with the wavelength of 635 nm without any diffraction, but substantially shields the laser beam with the wavelength of 780 nm by diffraction. Thus, each laser beam with the wavelength 635 nm is transmitted through objective lens and focused on a signal recording surface of a DVD. The periphery of the laser beam with the wavelength of 780 nm is significantly diffracted by peripheral region of optical device and only the central portion of the laser beam enters objective lens while increasing its diameter. Thus, the laser beam with the wavelength of 780 nm is focused on a signal recording surface of a CD-R or a CD-ROM. Therefore, the optical pickup device is capable of compatibly reproducing the DVD, CD-R and CD-ROM.
