    摘要: An optical pickup compatible with a plurality of optical recording media each using light of a different wavelength. The optical pickup includes at least one light source, an objective lens having a function of focusing light emitted from the light source into the optimal light spot on an information recording surface of one of the plurality of the optical recording media, and a light detector to detect light transmitted through the objective lens after being reflected from the information recording surface of the optical recording medium on which the light spot is formed. The objective lens has an inner area, an annular lens area and an outer area such that the annular lens area divides the inner area from the outer area and has a ring shape centered at a vertex. The inner area, the annular lens area and the outer area have aspherical surface shapes to focus light transmitted through the inner area and the outer area into a single light spot by which information can be read from the information recording surface of a relatively thin first optical recording medium and scatter light transmitted through the annular lens area located between the inner area and the outer area so that information cannot be read from the information recording surface of the first optical recording medium, during reproduction of the first optical recording medium. The inner area and the annular lens area transmit light into a single light spot by which information can be read from the information recording surface of a relatively thick second optical recording medium and scatters light transmitted through the outer lens area so that information cannot be read from the information recording surface of the second optical recording medium, during reproduction of the second optical recording medium.

    摘要: An optical pickup device which is capable of reproducing and recording information from/onto at least two kinds of discs having different thicknesses includes a light source, an objective lens provided along the light path from the light source facing the plane of a disc and having a predetermined effective diameter, a beam splitter provided between the objective lens and the light source, and a photodetector for detecting the beam split from the light splitter and reflected from the disc, wherein the photodetector has a first detection region and a second detection region provided in the peripheral portion of the first detection region. The optical pickup device is simplified and the manufacturing cost therefor is low. Also, by reducing the spherical aberration effect for the light, discs having different thicknesses can be used for a single disc drive.

    摘要: A reproducing/recording optical pickup compatible with discs having different thicknesses includes a transparent plate having a central portion formed with a diffraction grating pattern for diffracting the light travelling from the light source to the objective lens, and a transparent portion through which the light passes, and a photodetector having first and second light receiving portions. The zero-order transmitted light and the passing light are focused using all regions of the aperture of the objective lens with respect to a thin disc. The positive first-order diffracted light diffracted by the diffraction grating pattern of the transparent plate is focused onto a thick disc by partial regions of the objective lens. Then, the reflected lights thereof are detected by the first and second light receiving portions, respectively. Because signals for reproduction and servo for each disc are detected as the detection signals of the first and second light receiving portions, stable servo and noiseless reproduction are possible, irrespective of the thickness of the disc used.

    摘要: A high-density focusing objective lens having a high numerical aperture (NA), which can be easily manufactured by an existing technique, and an optical pickup using the objective lens for high-density recording. The objective lens includes a first transmitting portion placed at a relatively near-axis region from the optical axis to divergently transmit an incident light beam; a first reflecting portion to divergently reflect the incident light beam, the first reflecting portion faces the first transmitting portion; a second reflecting portion, formed at a relatively far-axis region around the first transmitting portion that focuses and reflects the light reflected from the first reflecting portion; and a second transmitting portion, formed at a relatively far-axis region around the first reflecting portion, that refracts and transmits the light beam focused by the second reflecting portion as a peripheral light beam, wherein the maximum angle &agr; between the optical axis and the peripheral light beam satisfies the condition of 30° ≦&agr;≦65°. The optical pickup further includes the previously mentioned objective lens as a second objective lens, which is optionally placed into the optical path between a first objective lens and an optical medium. As a result, the NA of the objective lens unit can be increased up to 0.85 while the working distance d2 is maintained to be 0.2 mm.
