    摘要: Information recorded on an optical disk in accordance with a mark edge recording scheme is detected by a center detection circuit which includes a bisected beam detector to obtain a mark center position signal. In succession, the mark center position signal is converted to a mark edge position signal by an edge signal generating circuit. An information reproducing device is implemented which is capable of performing reproducing operation on an information medium conforming to a high-density mark edge recording scheme and which is stable against changes of recording paper, recording sensitivity and reflectivity.

    摘要: An optical switch is provided that utilizes a signal light frequency shift due to the resonance excitation non-linear optical effect in a semiconductor material so that a high extinction ratio optical switching operation can be realized with low energy controlling light pulses. The non-linear optical waveguide 1 receives a signal light pulse of a frequency of &ohgr;1 and a controlling light pulse of a frequency of &ohgr;0 and sets the pulse width of the controlling light pulse to a value smaller than that of the signal light pulse. The optical waveguide portion of the non-linear optical waveguide 1 is formed of a non-linear optical medium of which the non-linear refractive index changes due to absorption or amplification of the controlling light. The frequency &ohgr;1 of the signal light is set to the transparent region of the non-linear optical waveguide 1. When the frequency &ohgr;0 of the controlling light is set to the absorption region of the non-linear optical waveguide 1, some of signal light pulses incident together with the controlling lights partially frequency-shift toward the high-frequency area. The optical frequency filter 2 outputs only the frequency-shifted components. This allows the optical switching operation to be realized by controlling light pulses with low energies.

    摘要: A minute optical head is provided so that a light source and one or more photo detector elements are integrated on the same substrate by a simple manufacturing process and may be applied to an apparatus for recording and reproducing recordable optical information. An apparatus for recording and reproducing optical information is arranged to have a minute optical head. A light waveguide layer composed of column semiconductor crystal is formed on a monocrystalline transparent substrate and an active layer is formed on the side of the light waveguide layer. The light beam source is a semiconductor having a vertical resonator formed of a high-reflection film before and after an emitting surface of the active layer so that a light beam is vertically radiated to the substrate. The photo detector element is integrated on the closer portion of the substrate to the light beam source of the semiconductor laser. Further, on the opposed surface of the substrate to the light beam source are sequentially integrated a first transparent layer, a diffraction grating, a second transparent layer, a phase difference generating element, a third transparent layer, a light beam focusing element, a fourth transparent layer, and a slide-resisting protective layer. The slide-resisting protective layer is located closer to and as opposed to the information recording medium.
