摘要:
An optical pickup apparatus includes a diffraction grating having a grating constant that is entirely uniform. The duty ratio referred to as L/G duty that is the ratio between a land L and a groove G and defined by the expression UG duty (%)=L/(L+G)×100 is continuously changed in the direction orthogonal to grating grooves of the diffraction grating. For example, the L/G duty ratio is set close to 50% in a central portion of the diffraction grating while the duty is set close to 100% in an outer peripheral portion of the diffraction grating. Accordingly, the number of components of the optical pickup is reduced while loss in light quantity in recording and reproduction can be minimized.

In an optical transmission and reception module, a partitioning member separating a light emitting device and a light receiving device from each other includes a partitioning plate having a concave surface, an engaging portion to which the partitioning plate is fixed, a holding portion holding the engaging portion movably, and a leaf spring for pressing the engaging portion against an optical plug. An end surface of an optical fiber is convex and projects from a front end of the optical plug. When the end surface of the optical plug is in contact with an engaging surface of the engaging portion, a gap is generated between the end surface of the optical fiber and a surface opposed thereto.

An edge-light type backlight device includes: a light guide plate that is housed in a frame-shaped member; a long wiring substrate 60 that is positioned at least on one side face of the light guide plate; a plurality of point-shaped light sources 80 that are positioned in the wiring substrate 60; and a rectangular heat spreader 70 that is positioned along the wiring substrate 60 and that dissipates the heat of the wiring substrate 60. The wiring substrate 60 and the heat spreader 70 are fixed to each other by screws 65 that are disposed on both ends in the lengthwise direction of the heat spreader 70, and are adhered to each other via a double-sided adhesive tape 75 that is positioned in the central portion of the heat spreader 70 in the lengthwise direction thereof.

An object of the present invention is to provide an optical pickup device which improves resolution of reproduced signals without increasing the number of components, and does not require positional adjustment of a grating during assembly of the optical pickup device. For this purpose, the optical pickup device of the present invention includes a semiconductor laser 1, a grating 3, an objective lens 5, and a push-pull signal detecting section 10. The grating 3 divides a light beam emitted from the semiconductor laser 1 into a 0-order diffracted beam, and a pair of ±1st-order diffracted beams. The grating 3 is set so that a reduction rate of light intensity for the 0-order diffracted beam is decreased and intensities of the pair of ±1st-order diffracted beams are decreased from a vicinity of an optical axis toward periphery parts. Accordingly, the 0-order diffracted beam has a flat intensity distribution, and the intensities of the pair of ±1st-order diffracted beams are higher in the vicinity of the optical axis than in the periphery part. Thus, the resolution of reproduced signals can be improved, and the positional adjustment of the grating can be omitted.

摘要:
A shock absorber includes a projection that projects toward an optical disk and projects out of a surface of an objective lens facing the optical disk to prevent collision of the objective lens and the optical disk. The shock absorber has a surface resistivity of not more than 1010 Ω at least for the projection. In this way, the shock absorber (projection) will not be electrified when the optical disk and the shock absorber (projection) collide with each other, and accordingly the shock absorber (projection, in particular) does not attract dust or particles. As a result, the dust or particles do not damage the optical disk even when the optical disk and the shock absorber (projection) collide again.

In an optical transmit-receive module, an optical fiber plug connected with an optical fiber for optical transmission is removably inserted in a housing. Within the housing, there are provided a branching type light guide, and an optical semiconductor device giving an optical signal to the branching type light guide and receiving an optical signal from the branching type light guide. When the optical fiber plug is inserted in the housing, it is optically connected with the branching type light guide through a light-permeable member having a refractive index approximately equal to refractive indices of the optical fiber and the branching type light guide.
