摘要:
An optical data processing apparatus reads and/or writes data from/on a data storage medium, in which first and second data storage layer are stacked. The apparatus includes: a light detector including at least one photodetector for generating a light quantity signal; a detecting optical system for guiding reflected light beams from a storage layer; and a signal processor for generating a layer sensing signal from the light quantity signal and determining, by the layer sensing signal, the type of data storage medium. The light detector includes a layer sensing photodetector arranged in view of an of an area of the light detector, and further includes a photodetector which is different from the layer sensing photodetector which receives the reflected light beam to generate a focus signal.

An optical information apparatus of the present invention includes: an optical pick-up head including: a light source; a diffraction unit; a condensing unit; a beam splitter; a photodetector; and a tracking error signal generator. An optical recording medium has tracks arranged substantially at a constant pitch. An average of a pitch is tp. When a main beam is placed on the track, a first sub-beam and a second sub-beam are placed between the tracks. The tracking error signal generator performs a differential arithmetic operation with respect to signals output from a light-receiving portion receiving the main beam to generate a first push-pull signal, performs a differential arithmetic operation with respect to signals output from the light-receiving portions receiving the first sub-beam and the second sub-beam to generate a second push-pull signal, and performs a differential arithmetic operation with respect to the first push-pull signal and the second push-pull signal to generate a tracking error signal, in a case where an amplitude of the first push-pull signal obtained at the pitch tp is fluctuated when the light beam is scanned in a direction orthogonal to the tracks of the optical recording medium.

The present invention aims to generate an offset-free tracking signal and to realize a stable tracking control even if an optical disc is a multi-layer disc having three or more layers.Light receiving portions of a main region light receiving portion group is arranged between a projection line of a third dividing line on a photodetector and a projection line of a fourth dividing line on the photodetector by stray lights from information layers adjacent to the one, on which a light beam is focused, out of a plurality of information layers. Further, light receiving portions of a subregion light receiving portion group is arranged between a projection line of a first dividing line on a photodetector and a projection line of a second dividing line on the photodetector by the stray lights from the information layers adjacent to the one, on which a light beam is focused, out of the plurality of information layers.

Stable tracking control is achieved for an optical recording medium having a plurality of information recording planes. To achieve this, an optical information device comprises a light source for emitting a light beam, a focusing unit for converging the light beam emitted from the light source onto a predetermined information recording plane of an optical recording medium having a plurality of information recording planes, a beam splitting unit for splitting the light beam reflected by the optical recording medium, and a light detection unit having a light receiver that receives the light beam split by the beam splitting unit, for outputting a signal corresponding to the light intensity of the light beams received by the light receiver. A guide groove is formed on at least one of the information recording planes, and the light receiver is entirely disposed within in a map formed on the light detection unit by the light beam reflected by an information recording plane other than the predetermined information recording plane.

An object of the invention is to provide an optical disc device, an optical head, and an information processing device that enable to advantageously record or reproduce information with respect to an information recording medium having three or more information recording surfaces with light transmissive layers of different thicknesses from each other. Assuming that an aberration amount of third-order coma aberration resulting from tilting a multilayer optical disc (60) by a unit angle is CMD0 (unit: mλ/deg), an aberration amount of third-order coma aberration resulting from tilting an objective lens (8) by a unit angle is CML0 (unit: mλ/deg), a tilt angle of the multilayer optical disc (60) is θ, a coefficient is k0, and a tilt angle of the objective lens (8) by an objective lens actuator (9) is α0 in converging laser light on an information recording surface having a largest light transmissive layer thickness out of the information recording surfaces of the multilayer optical disc (60), the objective lens actuator (9) tilts the objective lens (8) in such a manner that the tilt angle α0 of the objective lens (8) satisfies the following mathematical expression: α0=θ×k0×CMD0/CML0, where 0.5

An optical head (10) transmits a light beam to an optical disc (30), in which light-transmitting layers largely change in thickness, and includes a degree-of-diversion/convergence enlarging member (20) fixed between a collimating lens (4) and an objective lens (6). The diversion/convergence enlarging member (20) reduces a moving range of the collimating lens (4), and allows the optical head (10) to be miniaturized.
摘要:
An optical head that is restrained from becoming larger, even if it is used for an optical-information recording medium that includes a plurality of information recording layers. In this optical head, a collimating lens is formed by a concave lens disposed on the side of a light source and a convex lens disposed on the side of an objective lens. A collimating-lens actuator moves the convex lens in a direction where a spherical aberration is cancelled which is generated according to the thickness of a light transmission layer up to an information recording layer of the optical-information recording medium. An aperture stop is provided on the side of the collimating lens with respect to the objective lens, and the aperture stop is located near the focal position of the convex lens on the side of the objective lens.
