摘要:
An optical head of the present invention applies p-polarized light from a semiconductor laser chip to a magneto-optical disk in the form of a spot through a collimator lens and an objective. The optical head has a polarized-light separating hologram device for separating only an s-polarized light component from the reflected light. A hologram formed on the hologram device has two polarized-light separating surfaces divided by a line in the direction corresponding to the information track direction. Beams separated on the separating surfaces are guided to two information-reproducing photodetectors, respectively. A transparent cover of a semiconductor laser apparatus is provided with a separating hologram. A beam separated on the hologram is guided to a multi-division photodetector used for auto-focusing and auto-tracking operations. The information-reproducing photodetectors, the multi-division photodetector, and the semiconductor laser chip are formed on a common substrate. With this arrangement, a smaller and lighter optical head can be achieved.

In an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus, the reproduction of information is performed as following manner. A light spot is formed on a recording medium on which information is recorded so that a phase of light reflected by a small region as an information pit is different from a phase of light reflected by other regions. Upon scanning the recording medium with the light spot, a leading edge and a trailing edge of the information pit in the scanning direction are respectively detected. A detection signal for the leading edge of the information pit and a detection signal for the trailing edge of the information pit are synthesized to effect the reproduction of information.

An optical information recording/reproducing apparatus provided with a device for irradiating an information track of an optical information recording medium with a preheating light beam. Simultaneously, a recording/reproducing light beam irradiates a light spot of the preheating light beam on the recording medium. The light intensity of the preheating light beam is varied in accordance with the environmental temperature of the apparatus detected by a detector. By such a construction, the recording/reproducing condition of information is kept constant, irrespective of the environmental temperature.
