A recording medium includes at least one recording layer on which information is recorded by multi-photon absorption, and a servo layer disposed in a laminated direction with respect to the recording layer and having a track for guiding a beam spot of laser light having a first wavelength and a beam spot of laser light having a second wavelength along a scanning trajectory. The servo layer and the at least one recording layer constitute a set of layers, and a plurality of sets of layers is formed in the laminated direction. The servo layer is made of a material having a high reflectance with respect to laser light having a third wavelength for generating a servo signal, and low reflectances with respect to the laser light having the first wavelength and the laser light having the second wavelength.

A spectral element separates first laser light in such a manner that an area including only signal light as reflected first laser light is formed on a photodetector. The photodetector is provided with a first sensor group which is disposed at an irradiation position of signal light of the separated first laser light, and a second sensor group which receives zero-th order diffraction light of a main beam and two sub beams of second laser light that has been transmitted through the spectral element. The second sensor group includes a four-divided sensor which receives the main beam. The four-divided sensor is disposed in an area surrounded by the first sensor group. Zero-th order diffraction light of the first laser light that has been transmitted through the spectral element is irradiated onto the four-divided sensor.

An optical pickup device imparts different astigmatisms from each other to light fluxes in four light flux areas A through D formed around an optical axis of laser light, out of the laser light reflected on a disc. The optical pickup device also changes the propagating directions of the light fluxes in the light flux areas A through D to separate the light fluxes in the light flux areas A through D from each other. A signal light area where only signal light exists is defined on a detection surface of a photodetector. Sensing portions are arranged at a position corresponding to the signal light area. Accordingly, only the signal light is received by the sensing portions, thereby suppressing deterioration of a detection signal resulting from stray light.

摘要:
An optical pickup device is so configured as to change the propagating directions of light fluxes in four light flux areas defined in the periphery of an optical axis of laser light, out of the laser light reflected on a disc, to separate the four light fluxes one from the other. A signal light area where only signal light exists is defined on a detecting surface of a photodetector. Sensors for signal light is disposed at a position in the signal light area to be irradiated by the signal light, and a tracking error signal is generated based on a signal from the sensors. A direct-current component of the tracking error signal resulting from positional displacements of the sensors is cancelled by adjusting a gain of the signal from the sensor.

An optical pickup apparatus is provided with an angle adjusting element. The angle adjusting element changes a propagation direction of luminous fluxes of four luminous flux regions set about an optical axis of the laser light, out of laser light reflected by a disc, and mutually disperses the luminous fluxes. A signal light region in which signal light only is present appears on a detecting surface of a photodetector. A sensor pattern for signal light is placed at a position irradiated with the signal light within this region. A sensor pattern for a spherical aberration detection is placed on an inner side of this region.

An optical pickup apparatus includes an astigmatic element, an angle adjusting element for contradicting propagation directions of luminous fluxes within four different luminous flux regions out of a reflected light, a polarization adjusting element. Two of the luminous flux regions are placed in a direction in which aligned are a set of opposite angles made by the two mutually crossing straight lines respectively parallel to a first convergence direction and a second convergence direction vertical to the first convergence direction by the astigmatic element, and the remaining two luminous flux regions are placed in a direction in which an alternate set of opposite angles are aligned. The polarization adjusting element differentiates polarization directions of luminous fluxes which are selected out of the luminous fluxes within the four luminous flux regions and which are adjacent in a peripheral direction in which the optical axis of reflected light serves as an axis.
摘要:
Provided is an optical pickup device capable to suppress an occurrence of an aberration on a recording medium and a decrease of power of laser beams while employing a diffraction grating as an optical axis correction element.The laser element emitting the laser beam for CD (780 nm in wavelength) is disposed between the laser element emitting the laser beam for next-generation DVD (405 nm in wavelength) and the laser element emitting the laser beam for DVD (650 nm in wavelength). Only the laser beam for DVD is aligned by a diffraction effect of the optical axis correction element (diffraction grating) with the optical axis of the laser beam for next generation DVD. It is possible that a decrease of laser power due to diffraction efficiency is suppressed as much as possible because only the optical axis of the laser beam for DVD is aligned with the optical axis of the laser beam for next-generation DVD. Also it is possible that the optical axis of the laser beam for CD not subjected to the optical axis correction is brought close to the optical axis of laser beam for next-generation DVD considerably, thereby an aberration occurring in the laser beam for CD can be suppressed at minimum level.
