    摘要: A transmission diffraction grating body including a base material being substantially transparent with respect to wavelength λ1 and having a refractive index n0; another base material being substantially transparent with respect to wavelength λ1 and having a refractive index n1, which is formed on the base material having a refractive index n0; and a relief diffraction grating formed on the base material having a refractive index n1; wherein the refractive indexes n1 and n0 satisfy the relationship: n1>n0. Thus, the base material having a refractive index n1 can be formed of a high refractive index material, and when the depth of grating of the diffraction grating is set so that the diffraction grating diffracts the light with wavelength λ1 and does not diffract the light with wavelength λ2, the depth of grating of the diffraction grating can be made to be shallow, thus preventing the loss of the amount of the light with wavelength λ1. Furthermore, since base materials each having a different refractive index are bonded to each other to form a diffraction grating body, it is possible to minimize the use amount of the relatively expensive material having a high refractive index. Furthermore, since the most of the diffraction grating body can be formed of a material having a low refractive index, it is possible to lower the height of the diffraction index body.

    摘要: An information recording and reproducing apparatus in accordance with the present invention has a radiation light source, a collimator turning a light beam emitted from the radiation light source into substantially parallel light, a light beam convergence member focusing the light beam on an information carrier, a light beam polarization-branching member branching the light beam by polarization, a variable wave plate located between the collimator and the light beam convergence member, photo detectors receiving the light beam branched by the light beam polarization-branching member and outputting a current according to an incident light quantity, and an output level judging member judging whether an output of the photo detectors is larger or smaller than a predetermined value. When the photo detectors receive a small light quantity because the information carrier is highly birefringent, the variable wave plate is switched from a ¼ wavelength plate to a zero-wave plate, thus constantly obtaining a stable reproducing signal with an excellent S/N.

Then, a subtraction between signals representing the light quantities is calculated so as to obtain an information signal.

    摘要: A laser beam 32 reflected by an information layer of a multilayer optical disc 26 is reflected and split by reflecting surfaces 31a′, 31b, 31c and 31d to be incident on a photodetector element 36 as laser beams 33, 34 and 35. The laser beam 34 is collected on a light receiving region 38 for RF detection to generate an RF signal. The laser beams 33, 35 are incident on light receiving regions 37a, 37b for focus detection, and a focus error signal is generated by an SSD method. A laser beam 65 reflected by an information layer adjacent to the above information layer partially transmits through the reflecting surface 31a′ to be imaged on a light receiving region 66 for tracking detection, and a tracking error signal is generated.

    摘要: An optical disk device is provided with an optical pickup that includes a convergent optical system having an objective lens for converging a light beam emitted from the laser light source to form a microspot on an optical disk and an aberration correcting optical system for controlling a spherical aberration of the convergent optical system, and performs information recording or reproduction with respect to a multi-layer optical disk having at least a first recording layer and a second recording layer. In the optical disk device, an operation of changing a correction quantity of the spherical aberration from a value adequate for the first recording layer to a predetermined value is started before an operation of moving a focus position of the microspot from the first layer to the second layer is completed. This allows a focus control to be performed stably with respect to the second recording layer in a state in which the spherical aberration correction already has been carried out, thereby preventing the focus control from failing due to an unsuccessful interlayer jump.
