摘要:
In an optical pickup head, a light source emits a light beam. A first reflecting section reflects the light beam emitted from the light source and changes a direction of a travel of the light beam emitted from the light source. A second reflecting section reflects the light beam and changes a direction of a travel of the light beam after the light beam is reflected by the first reflecting section. The light beam reflected by the second reflecting section is focused on the optical recording medium. The light beam is reflected and diffracted by the optical recording medium. The light beam reflected and diffracted by the optical recording medium is detected. A common support member is formed with both the first and second reflecting sections.

A laser beam 32 reflected by an information layer of a multilayer optical disc 26 is reflected and split by reflecting surfaces 31a′, 31b, 31c and 31d to be incident on a photodetector element 36 as laser beams 33, 34 and 35. The laser beam 34 is collected on a light receiving region 38 for RF detection to generate an RF signal. The laser beams 33, 35 are incident on light receiving regions 37a, 37b for focus detection, and a focus error signal is generated by an SSD method. A laser beam 65 reflected by an information layer adjacent to the above information layer partially transmits through the reflecting surface 31a′ to be imaged on a light receiving region 66 for tracking detection, and a tracking error signal is generated.

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.

An optical head device includes a focusing optical system for focusing a laser beam emitted from a semiconductor laser light source on an optical information medium with an objective lens. A chromatic aberration correction element for correcting chromatic aberration occurring in the objective lens is provided between the semiconductor laser light source and the optical information medium. A light distribution correction element in which the transmittance increases with the distance from the center of the aperture surface of the objective lens is provided so as to correct a reduction of the intensity of the light incident on the aperture surface of the objective lens with the distance from the center of the aperture surface.

An optical head with excellent optical characteristics even when using a light source that substantially has a wavelength broadening is provided. The optical head includes a light source, an objective lens for focusing a light beam emitted from the light source on an information recording medium and a photodetector for detecting the light beam reflected from the information recording medium, wherein defocusing correction means and spherical aberration correction means are provided in an optical path between the light source and the information recording medium. Since both the defocusing correction means and the spherical aberration correction means are provided, while defocusing of a focused spot on the information recording medium caused by a wavelength broadening of the light source and chromatic aberration of the optical system can be corrected, the spherical aberration of the optical system caused by wavelength difference between a design wavelength and an incident wavelength also can be corrected. As a result, excellent optical characteristics can be obtained.

摘要:
An optical head apparatus consists of a light beam source, a blazed hologram partitioned into diffraction regions for mainly changing the light beam radiated from the light beam source to zero-order diffraction light and secondarily diffracting the light beam to produce beams of unnecessary light such as N-order diffraction light (N.noteq.0), an information medium for storing information, an objective lens for converging the zero-order diffraction light and the unnecessary light at the information medium, and a six-division photo detector having six detecting sections for detecting intensity of first-order diffraction light produced by diffracting the zero-order diffraction light in the blazed hologram. A hologram pattern of the blazed hologram is formed to function as a lens for the unnecessary light. A focus servo signal is produced according to mutual relation among intensities of the first-order diffraction light detected in the six detecting sections to focus the objective lens on the information medium For the zero-order diffraction light. Therefore, the objective lens is not focused on the information medium for the unnecessary light. Also, the beams of the unnecessary light diffracted in each of the diffraction regions of the blazed hologram are greatly widened because numerical apertures of the diffraction regions are small.
