摘要:
A data transfer system transfers original data from a first data storage device to a second data storage device. The transfer system includes a compressor, an encryptor, and a controller. The compressor receives the original data from the first data storage device, generates compressed data of a smaller size, and passes the compressed data to the second data storage device. The encryptor makes a predetermined cryptographic key and passes the key to the second data storage device. The encryptor also receives the original data from the first data storage device, encrypts the original data with the cryptographic key and then sends the encrypted data back to the first data storage device. The controller controls the compressor and the encryptor and gives the first data storage device a first erase instruction, telling the first data storage device to erase the original data, in accordance with a first transfer command.

An optical head is provided that increases the light utilization efficiency and that can be adapted to high-speed recording and double-layer disks. A beam-shaping lens that shapes an elliptical beam emitted from a light source into a substantially circular beam has a pair of cylindrical surfaces that are curved in the same direction. The cylindrical surface that is closer to the light source is an aspherical surface, and the cylindrical surface that is closer to the light source is a spherical surface. Thus, an optical head is obtained, with which aberrations can be kept low, even when the beam-shaping magnifying power is about a factor 2.

It is an object of the present invention to record to and reproduce different types of optical disks using light beams with different wavelengths. In an optical head device for recording to and reproducing high-density optical disks using an objective lens with a large NA, a sawtooth-shaped hologram is used for recording to and reproducing conventional optical disks such as DVDs. For blue light, a sawtooth height is the light path length 2λ, and second-order diffraction light is used. Red light generates first-order diffraction. The hologram is blazed and has convex lens function, and corrects chromatic aberration of the refractive lens. A relay lens is disposed between an infrared laser light source and the objective lens, and the light beam that is emitted from the infrared laser light source is substantially converged by the relay lens, and then, as it diverges once again, it is incident on the objective lens, which focuses the light beam into a spot on the recording surface of an optical disk after passing through an approximately 1.2 mm substrate.

An optical head apparatus is made to be downsized while obtaining an sufficient driving force of an objective lens actuator. The optical head apparatus includes a first optical system including a first objective lens for focusing a light beam upon an optical disc; a second optical system including a second objective lens for focusing a light beam upon an optical disc having an information recording density smaller than the optical disc which the first optical system irradiates upon, the second objective lens having a numerical aperture smaller than the first objective lens; and an up-orienting prism including a first reflecting surface for deflecting a light beam to an optical axis of the first objective lens in the first optical system, and a second reflecting surface for deflecting a light beam to an optical axis of the second objective lens in the second optical system.

An optical disk device is provided with an optical pickup that includes a convergent optical system having an objective lens for converging a light beam emitted from the laser light source to form a microspot on an optical disk and an aberration correcting optical system for controlling a spherical aberration of the convergent optical system, and performs information recording or reproduction with respect to a multi-layer optical disk having at least a first recording layer and a second recording layer. In the optical disk device, an operation of changing a correction quantity of the spherical aberration from a value adequate for the first recording layer to a predetermined value is started before an operation of moving a focus position of the microspot from the first layer to the second layer is completed. This allows a focus control to be performed stably with respect to the second recording layer in a state in which the spherical aberration correction already has been carried out, thereby preventing the focus control from failing due to an unsuccessful interlayer jump.

摘要:
An optical pickup head device includes a diffraction grating for generating zero-order diffracted light and at least first-order diffracted light and provides a tracking error signal with a DPP method. The diffraction grating includes grating patterns with a nonuniform period or phase. The size of the first-order diffracted light converged on an optical recording medium is larger in the direction parallel to a tangent to the track than in the direction perpendicular to the tangent. P1/P0>PW2/PW1 is established, where PW1 represents the power that is required to record information on the optical recording medium, PW2 represents the maximum power that allows information recorded on the optical recording medium to be reproduced without being erased, P0 represents the light amount of the zero-order diffracted light converged on the optical recording medium, and P1 represents the light amount of the at least first-order diffracted light converged on the optical recording medium. This configuration makes it possible to detect a tracking error signal with reduced offset, even if a recordable optical recording medium having two information recording planes is used.
