In an optical beam transmissive adjusting mechanism (110) included in an optical pickup device, arrangement positions of a first transmissive element (111) having a first transmittance and a second transmissive element (112) having a second transmittance higher than the first transmittance are switched by a rotational drive unit (105), and an optical beam having a first optical power and an optical beam having a second optical power are output selectively. Furthermore, since a transmissive element of a non-transmissive side for an optical beam is arranged at an angle inclined to an optical axis of the optical beam, the transmissive element does not obstruct a path of the optical beam to be diffused.

A guide shaft and a guide portion movably guide a lens holder for holding a collimator lens (i.e. correction lens) in an optical axis direction. A stepping motor rotates a screw shaft arranged in parallel to the optical axis direction. A nut member converts a rotating movement of the screw shaft into a rectilinear movement of the optical axis direction. An urging spring urges the lens holder against the guide shaft and the guide portion. The lens holder is driven in the optical axis direction along the guide shaft by the stepping motor, with a first contact portion and a second contact portion of the lens holder being contacted with the guide shaft, and a third contact portion of the lens holder being contacted with the guide portion by an urging force of the urging spring. The optical pickup device having the above arrangement allows for stable driving of a correction lens.

An optical disk device includes: an optical disk drive mechanism disposed in a housing-shape drive case (2), the optical disk drive mechanism including an optical head (7) on which a semiconductor laser (5) is mounted, a rotary driver for driving an optical disk (8), and a transfer mechanism for transferring the optical head (7); and an agitating fan (12) for making air in the drive case (2) flow. In the optical disk device, a wind path is formed so that the air in the drive case (2) flows in a manner in which it is drawn toward an agitating fan (12) side and the drawn air is discharged toward the optical head (7) or the semiconductor laser (5) by rotation of the agitating fan (12). Therefore, a rise in temperature of the semiconductor laser (5) can be suppressed effectively, while the dust proofing is ensured.

摘要:
When performing a read or write operation on an optical disc with information storage layers, this compatible optical head with a two-focus lens can reduce interference caused by an unnecessary diffracted light reflected from a non-target layer and not contributing to reading or writing. The head reads and/or writes information from/on storage media, including first and second media with different protective substrate thicknesses, by irradiating a given one with a laser beam and includes: a diffraction element that diffracts the beam to produce diffracted light of multiple orders; an objective lens for converging nth and mth order ones of the light on the respective storage layers of the first and second media; a photodetector that receives the beam reflected from the medium and condensed; and a light shielding portion for preventing a portion of the beam reflected from the storage layer of the second medium and including its optical axis from reaching the photodetector. The light shielding portion is arranged so as to reduce loss to be caused by cutting off the portion of the beam to a predetermined value or less.
