    摘要: A diffraction element includes a diffraction grating for dividing a light beam, emitted from a light source along a predetermined path, into a principal light beam and at least two auxiliary light beams, and a hologram for separating the beam, which has been reflected from an optical information recording medium, from the predetermined path. The diffraction grating and the hologram are integrated together by being formed in alignment with each other in opposite portions of a block of glass or plastics. A slide is provided at at least a portion of the diffraction element and includes a peripheral wall in sliding engagement with a cylindrical surface coaxial with an optical axis of the diffraction element to permit the diffraction element to be rotatable about the optical axis.

    摘要: A method of performing anisotropic etching more than once with respect to a semiconductor substrate (1) is provided with the steps of performing first-time anisotropic etching by using a first etching mask (2) so as to form a first anisotropically etched region (4) which is hollow, forming a second etching mask (7) over the first etching mask (2), performing second-time anisotropic etching by using the second etching mask (7), and previously forming the first etching mask (2) from a material which is resistant to an etchant used for patterning the second etching mask (7) before the first-time anisotropic etching is performed. Thus, the edge portion (6) of the first etched region (4) is protected so that its configuration is excellently maintained. By way of example, either of the etching masks is composed of a dielectric material such as a silicon dioxide film, while the other etching mask is composed of a metallic material such as Au and Ti, and the second-time anisotropic etching is performed by using diluted potassium hydroxide.

    摘要: An optical device includes a light-emitting element for irradiating light onto an information recording medium, a diffraction grating for splitting light emitted from said light-emitting element into a plurality of beams, a focussing member for focussing the plurality of beams onto the information recording medium, a deflection member for deflecting the plurality of beams after they have been reflected from the information recording medium; and a photodetector for receiving the plurality of beams after they have been deflected by the deflection member. The diffraction grating has a first grating region and a second grating region, which have different diffraction efficiencies. The zero-order diffraction light in the first grating region is used as the main beam for reproducing the information signal, and the +1-order or −1-order diffraction light in the second grating regions is used as sub-beams for reproduction of the tracking error signal. Thus, the light amount of both the main beam and the sub-beams can be increased without increasing the light emission of the semiconductor laser element 1, and the S/N ratio of the main beam and the sub-beams can be enhanced.

    摘要: A semiconductor light-emitting unit includes: a semiconductor laser diode; a photodetector functioning as a sub-mount for mounting the diode thereon; and a heating member, incorporated with the photodetector, for heating the diode. If the ambient temperature of the diode falls within a range where kinks are possibly caused in the low-temperature I-L characteristic of the diode, then current is supplied to the heating member, thereby heating the diode. The heating member may be either a doped region defined within a semiconductor substrate or a doped polysilicon film formed on the substrate. Also, the heating member is preferably located under the laser diode with a heat-dissipating layer and an insulating layer interposed therebetween. The semiconductor light-emitting unit with this structure can effectively eliminate kinks from the low-temperature I-L characteristic of the semiconductor laser diode.
