摘要： An optical tape apparatus having improved focus and tracking control. An optical head records, reproduces, or rewrites data on an optical tape by helically scanning the tape with a laser beam. A guide plate is disposed between the optical head and the tape to prevent the beam from becoming unfocused due to fluctuation of the tape cuased by an air film between the optical head and the tape. The optical head contains a semiconductor laser and an optical system exhibiting chromatic aberration for directing the laser beam onto the tape. The optical system includes a condenser lens for focusing the beam onto the tape. Fine focus control is achieved by changing the wavelength of the laser beam by directing part of the beam reflected from the tape back to the laser, thereby changing the focal point of the beam by virtue of the chromatic aberration of the optical system. Coarse focus control is achieved by mounting the condenser lens on a piezoelectric actuator which moves the consenser lens to focus the beam onto the tape. A recording head for recording timing marks and tracking signals on the tape is disposed in advance of the optical head. A reading head reads the timing marks and the optical head reads the tracking signals. The timing marks and tracking signals are used to control the operation of the apparatus such that the tape is transported with a constant speed and data on diagonal signal tracks on the tape is accurately recorded, reproduced, or rewritten.

摘要： This invention relates to a track setting method for a tracking servo system in an optical disk device and a device therefor. According to this invention the track passage velocity when the light spot moves across the track is detected and setting of the light spot onto the track is performed under the condition that the passage velocity thus detected is lower than a predetermined velocity. In the case where the passage velocity is greater than the predetermined velocity, the light spot is forced to move so that the passage velocity is lower than the predetermined velocity and the light spot is set up thereafter.

摘要： A separation type optical head according to the present invention includes at least a light source portion for emitting collimated beams, a focusing device (a focusing lens) for focusing the collimated beams onto an information recording surface of an optical disc medium, a focal point control mechanism for the position of the spot on the information recording surface, and a photo-detection portion for receiving beams reflected by the information recording surface. The structure is divided into a fixed portion including the light source portion and the photo-detection portion and a movable portion including the focusing device (focusing lens) and the focal point control mechanism. At least the movable portion of the separation type optical head is movably accommodated n a frame (sealing case) for the optical head so as to prevent irregular vibrations of the movable portion due to high speed air flows or turbulence. Furthermore, a focal point control mechanism of an air float type may be employed in the movable portion of the separation type optical head so as to actively utilize the high speed air flow generated due to the rotation of the disc medium to perform a rough adjustment of the focal point of the focusing device.

摘要： A magnetic head is supported with variable stiffness for loading onto the disk surface and unloading off the disk surface. The magnetic head is attached to an end of a thin leaf spring which has been curved in advance, and the leaf spring is interposed between two flat plates, with one of the flat plates being slidable. With the slidable flat plate being moved to the position where the plate overlies a fitting section of the magnetic head, a head support point is provided at a first position with respect to the magnetic head, the thin leaf spring takes an extending straightened state, and at the same time, the thin leaf spring, two flat plates, and magnetic head fitting section form a unitary member with a high stiffness for supporting the magnetic head thereby to load the magnetic head onto the disk surface. With the slidable plate being moved in the opposite direction so as to free the curved section of the thin leaf spring, a second head support point provided at a position further away from the magnetic head than the first position, and the magnetic head is supported flexibly with a lower stiffness by the thin leaf spring. Since the thin leaf spring curves in a free state at this moment, the magnetic head which is attached to the end of the leaf spring is unloaded off the disk surface as if it is whipped up.
