This invention intends to provide an optical pickup of which it is possible to limit aberrations within a tolerable limit without incorporating a special device for that purpose even if errors arise in thickness of component lenses of a two-lens system constituting an element of the pickup. This object is achieved by providing an optical pickup incorporating a two-lens system with first and second lenses 13 and 14 being arranged in the following manner: the first lens has a first surface 15 to receive a laser beam radiated from a semiconductor laser and a second surface 16 to direct the laser beam transmitted from the first surface 15 towards the second lens 14; the second lens 14 has a third surface 17 to receive the light flux transmitted from the second surface 16 and a fourth surface 18 to direct the light flux transmitted from the third surface 17 towards an optical disc placed opposite thereto; and the first and fourth surfaces are used as a reference during positioning.

A method for designing an objective lens apparatus formed by at least two lenses, a first lens and a second lens, which includes the steps of: measuring aberration which occurs when a light beam is converged by the first lens; setting the first lens is set such that the aberration occurring in the first lens satisfies Marechal's criterion, in accordance with the measurement results; measuring aberration which occurs when a light beam is converged by the first lens and the second lens; and setting the second lens such that the aberrations occurring in the first lens and the second lens satisfy Marechal's criterion, in accordance with the measurement results. Accordingly, an objective lens apparatus with a small aberration and a large numerical aperture NA can be designed by this method.

摘要:
An optical pickup device for condensing the light from a light source on a signal recording surface of an optical recording medium, such as an optical disc. A semi-spherical lens of the optical pickup device has a surface 9b facing an optical disc 20 and has a pre-set refractive index. The optical pickup device also has a slider 12 adapted for securing the lens 9 and for being in sliding contact with an optical disc 20, and a spring plate 13 adapted for thrusting and supporting the slider in sliding contact with the optical disc 20. With the optical pickup device, high density reproduction may be realized, while the tolerance value for warping during disc molding or the tolerance value for warping due to moisture absorption may be increased. In addition, the production yield and the degree of freedom in selecting the disc materials may be improved.
摘要:
An optical pickup apparatus is constructed of an objective lens for condensing a light beam emitted from a light source toward an optical recording medium, and a convex lens arranged between the optical recording medium and the objective lens in which a surface thereof upon which the luminous flux projected from the objective lens is incident is a convex spherical surface with a radius of curvature which is a predetermined value, and another surface thereof which is located near and opposite to a surface portion of the optical recording medium which is a plane. With this arrangement, a tolerance with respect to decentering of the convex lens in connection with the optical axis of the objective lens is increased, so that an occurrence of aberration is reduced.

A focus controller for focusing a light beam and positioning the focused light beam onto a signal recording layer of a signal recording media is disclosed. The controller comprises a light beam focusing means having a numerical aperture of 0.6 or more; a focus controlling means for positioning the light beam focused by the light beam focusing means onto the signal recording layer of the recording media; and an offset adjusting means for adjusting an offset between the focused light beam positioned by the focus controlling means and the signal recording layer of the recording media. The controller positions the light beam focused by an objective lens onto the signal recording layer of a recording media; moves the objective lens within a predetermined optical-axial range, detects an amplitude of a signal read from the recording media at either end of the optical-axial range, and adjusts an offset between the focused light beam positioned by the objective lens and the signal recording layer, depending on a difference between the amplitudes of the detected reproduced signal.
摘要:
An optical recording medium recording and reproducing apparatus for recording information on an optical recording medium and/or reproducing information therefrom by irradiating the optical recording medium with laser light by the use of a two-group objective lens composed of at least first and second lenses. This apparatus is provided with: a light source for emitting laser light; a first lens for converging laser light emitted from the light source; a second lens interposed between the first lens and the optical recording medium; a detecting unit for detecting a kind of the recording medium; and a movement unit for changing the distance in the direction of an optical axis between the first and second lenses by causing a relative movement between the first and second lenses. Further, the distance between the first and second lenses is changed by the movement unit, which causes the second lens to move, according to a result of a detection, which is performed by the detecting unit. Thereby, the numerical aperture NA of the objective lens is increased. Moreover, the influence of aberration is mitigated. Consequently, the high-density recording and reproducing of information signals can be achieved.

There is provided an optical pick-up device capable of eliminating a spherical aberration due to a thickness error of an optical disc. The optical pick-up device includes a convex lens having a flat surface opposed to a surface of an optical recording medium, and having a predetermined refractive index, and an objective lens disposed such that the convex lens is interposed between said optical recording medium and the objective lens. A position-detecting means detects a position relation between the light-incident surface of the optical recording medium and the flat surface of the convex lens, based on first and second detection signals. A drive means drives the convex lens along an optical axis thereof such that the convex lens is caused to move in the opposite directions toward the optical recording medium or the objective lens, whereby a distance between the light-incident surface of the optical recording medium and the flat surface of the convex lens is controlled based on the first and second detection signals.

摘要:
A recording/reproducing apparatus for an optical recording medium in which a laser light beam is illuminated on an optical recording medium using a double-lens type objective lens made up of at least a first lens and a second lens to record and/or reproduce the information. The apparatus includes a first lens for converging the laser light illuminated from a light source, a second lens arranged between the first lens and the optical recording medium and a voice coil motor for causing relative movement of the first and second lenses for varying the distance therebetween in the direction along the optical axis. The first lens is moved to vary the distance between the first and second lenses. This enlarges the numerical aperture and diminishes the effect of aberration to enable high-density recording and/or reproduction of information signals to a high recording density.
