The scanning device has a first mode for scanning a first optical record carrier, a second mode for scanning a second optical record carrier and a third mode for scanning third optical record carrier. The device comprises an objective lens system and a switchable optical element having a first discrete state and a different, second discrete state. The element comprises: a fluid system including a first fluid and a different, second fluid (19); a wavefront modifier (17); and a fluid system switch for acting on the fluid system to switch between the first and second discrete states of the element. When the element is in the first discrete state, the wavefront modifier (17) is substantially covered by the first fluid, and when the element is in the second discrete state, the wavefront modifier (17) is substantially covered by the second fluid (19). The wavefront modifier includes a non-periodic phase structure including a plurality of stepped annular zones separated by steps, the zones forming a non-periodic radial pattern, and is characterized in that the wavefront modifier further includes an aspherical surface. The scanning device is arranged to operate using the element in the second state to generate spherical aberration when in the second mode, the aspherical surface of the element in the second state compensating for more than half of the spherical aberration due to the objective lens system and second record carrier in combination.

摘要： An optical compensator is included in an optical scanning device for scanning optical record carriers. There are at least two different information layer depths within two different carriers. The scanning device produces first to third radiation beams respectively having different wavelengths for scanning first to third record carriers, respectively. The optical compensator has a non-periodic phase structure through which each radiation beam is arranged to pass. The non-periodic phase structure includes stepped annular zones separated by steps. The zones form a non-periodic radial pattern. The stepped annular zones introduce first to third different wavefront modifications into at least part of the first to third radiation beams, respectively. Radial height variations are included in the stepped annular zones, and are arranged such that non-zero contributions are provided to each wavefront modification by the optical compensator in each stepped annular zone.

摘要： An optical compensator for use in an optical scanning device for scanning a first optical record carrier (3′) having an information layer (2′) at a first information layer depth d and a second optical record carrier (3″) having an information layer (2″) at a second, different information layer depth d2. The scanning of the first and second optical record carrier is effected using a scanning spot (16) formed on the information layer by a first radiation beam having a first wavelength and a second radiation beam having a second, different wavelength respectively. The optical compensator includes a substantially circular phase structure having an annular zone arranged in the path of the first radiation beam and the second radiation beam. The annular zone is adapted for imparting a wavefront modification to said first radiation beam causing destructive interference over the area of the scanning spot (16) for radiation incident on said annular zone; and a wavefront modification to said second radiation beam for compensating spherical aberration. A further aspect of the present invention relates to an optical element for defining the numerical aperture of a radiation beam. The optical compensator or optical element can be used for a two- or three-wavelength system. The invention also discloses an optical scanning head, and an optical scanning device using the optical compensator. The invention also relates to an optical scanning head and an optical scanning device.

摘要： An optical head scans the information layer (3) of an optical record carrier (1) by means of a radiation beam (13). Optical aberrations in the beam such as coma and spherical aberration, caused by tilt and thickness variations in the optical disc respectively, are compensated by an aberration compensator (27) arranged in the radiation beam. The tilt or thickness variation is measured by a detector (30) and used to control the aberration compensator. The radiation beam is focused onto the information layer by an objective system (11). A displacement of the objective system in the transverse direction (26) as used for radial tracking of the optical beam, causes a mismatch between the wavefront to be compensated and the wavefront introduced by the aberration compensator (27). The mismatch is reduced by using a position detector (33) for measuring the transverse position of the objective system and using the position signal (34) as input for the control of the aberration compensator.
