摘要:
An optical head comprises first and second light sources which are arranged next to each other and emit lights of different wavelengths and an optical device which is arranged between the first and second light sources and a conversing lens for reducing the spherical aberration caused by combination of the conversing lens and at least one of first and second optical recording media which correspond to at least one of the lights of first and second wavelengths. The optical axis of the optical device is shifted with respect to the optical axis of the conversing lens in order to reduce the coma aberration that is caused since at least one of optical axes of the lights of first and second wavelengths does not coincide with the optical axis of the conversing lens.

It is intended to provide an optical disk apparatus which detects a light amount greater than zero even when used in conjunction with an optical disk substrate having a large birefringence, so that it is possible to properly read a signal without errors and properly perform optical disk controls. The optical disk apparatus includes: a light source for emitting light; an objective lens for converging the light onto a signal surface of an optical disk; a polarized beam diffraction element for diffracting the light reflected from the optical disk; a photodetector for detecting the light diffracted from the polarized beam diffraction element; and a wavelength plate disposed between the optical disk and the polarized beam diffraction element. The wavelength plate has a two-dimensional array of a plurality of birefringent regions including first and second regions, the first and second regions differing in birefringent phase difference and/or optic axes from each other, and the plurality of birefringent regions including the first and second regions cause the light to have different polarization states.

An optical head for recording and reproducing information on an optical disk includes a box-like cover carrying thereon a semiconductor laser unit and a detector, and a substantially planar base on which various optical components are bonded, the base being made of the same material as the box-like cover and secured to the box-like cover to close an open end of the latter. By the use of the planar base, the optical components and the base can be bonded efficiently with utmost ease.
