A projection system, such as a system suitable for head-up displays in automobiles, includes a laser projection source (101) and a scanner (102). Light from the laser projection source (101) is scanned across a projection surface (104), which can be a car's windshield. The projection surface (104) includes a buried numerical aperture expander (105) capable of reflecting some light and transmitting other light. The system may also include an image projection source (551) capable of presenting high-resolution images on a sub-region (552) of the projection surface (604) that has a optical relay (650) disposed therein.

A focus/tracking method and system is provided for use in an optical drive with a possibly multiple-wavelength laser source for control of the focus/tracking of the pickup head of the optical drive. The use of a multiple-wavelength laser source allows the optical drive to read data from various types of optical discs. The focus/tracking method and system combines the use of a differential, dual optical channel method for focusing control of the laser beam used to read data from the optical disc and the use of the single-beam tracking method for tracking control of the same. The focus error signal and the tracking error signal can be obtained from the same set of multi-element photodetectors. The structure of the system can therefore be simplified to include a reduced number of constituent components thus allowing a reduction in manufacturing cost.

The present invention discloses a multiple-beam holographic optical pick-up head, which has the advantages of the multiple-beam optical pick-up head and the holographic optical pick-up head and can increase the light usage efficiency. This invention uses the property that a polarized diffractive optical element can generate different optical effects for laser beam with different polarizations and places a polarized multiple-beam grating and polarized hologram on the optical path for splitting the incident light toward the disc into multiple reading beams by the multiple-beam grating. The returning laser beams reflected from the disc are diffracted and diverted by the hologram to reach a photodetector. Both the incident and reflective beams are diffracted once only; thus the light usage efficiency can be increased.

A two-wavelength laser diode package is provided, which can be utilized in the read/write head of an optical drive capable of reading data from different types of optical discs, such as CD (compact disc), CD-R (CD Recordable) and DVD (digital versatile disc). The laser diode package includes a pair of laser diodes of two different specifications in wavelength, which are disposed on one or two submounts, either horizontally or vertically oriented with each other. Further, a beam coinciding means, such as a micro dichroic prism, a micro dichroic plate, a micro dichroic beam-splitter, or an external dichroic beam-splitter, is used to make the two respective laser beams from the two laser diodes to propagate on the same propagation axis when in use.
摘要:
An optical pickup device including a lighting source, a condensing apparatus, a diffracting means, and a light detector. The light source generates and emits a light beam to the diffracting means. The diffracting means includes a center region and an outer region which encloses the center region. As the light travels from the light source towards the optical storage medium the main zero-order beam which reads the information on the disk encounters only the center region of the diffracting means while the two sub-beams used for track following are created as +1 and -1 diffraction orders from the outer region of the diffracting means. The three beams reflected from the recording medium all pass through the center region of the diffracting means and are diffracted in the direction of the detector therefrom. The light detector consists of multiple detector elements which convert the light that shines upon them after reflection from the recording medium into electronic signals containing the information that was recorded on the medium.
