    摘要: An optical disc drive using either one of a first disc (e.g., DVD) and a second disc (e.g., CD), is provided with a first laser diode that emits a shorter wavelength beam, a second laser diode that emits a longer wavelength beam, an objective lens, and a driving unit that holds and rotates the optical disc. The optical axis of the objective lens is inclined relative to a normal to the optical disc. The first laser diode is located at a first position so that the coma, which is caused when the first laser beam is converged on a data recording surface of the first disc, is minimized, and the second laser diode is located at a second position so that the coma, which is caused when the second laser beam is converged on a data recording surface of the second disc, is minimized.

    摘要: A minute optical head is provided so that a light source and one or more photo detector elements are integrated on the same substrate by a simple manufacturing process and may be applied to an apparatus for recording and reproducing recordable optical information. An apparatus for recording and reproducing optical information is arranged to have a minute optical head. A light waveguide layer composed of column semiconductor crystal is formed on a monocrystalline transparent substrate and an active layer is formed on the side of the light waveguide layer. The light beam source is a semiconductor having a vertical resonator formed of a high-reflection film before and after an emitting surface of the active layer so that a light beam is vertically radiated to the substrate. The photo detector element is integrated on the closer portion of the substrate to the light beam source of the semiconductor laser. Further, on the opposed surface of the substrate to the light beam source are sequentially integrated a first transparent layer, a diffraction grating, a second transparent layer, a phase difference generating element, a third transparent layer, a light beam focusing element, a fourth transparent layer, and a slide-resisting protective layer. The slide-resisting protective layer is located closer to and as opposed to the information recording medium.

    摘要: A short-wavelength laser having a stable output and an optical information processing system capable of high-density recording are disclosed. A solid-state laser is used as a light source, and a nonlinear optical crystal is arranged in a resonator in order to produce a short wavelength by means of a solid-state laser. The retardation of the nonlinear optical crystal is controlled by determining the length of the nonlinear optical crystal. A solid-state laser device having a stable output with the noise removed from a pumping power light source is also provided. Further, the solid-state laser device is used as a light source for the optical information processing system, and the light of irrelevant wavelengths contained in the light from the solid-state laser device are removed by a device having the ability to select wavelengths. Thus, not only a stable light source with a short wavelength but also an optical information processing system capable of high-density recording are realized.

    摘要: An optical system for converting the shape of a light beam by making use of refraction of prisms comprises a prism optic which includes a complex prism constituted by combination of at least two types of prisms made of materials differing from each other in respect to dispersion of refractivity. An optical information processing apparatus includes the optical system employing the prisms. Geometric optical properties of the optical system are insusceptible to being changed irrespective of changes in wavelength of the light beam brought about by dispersion in oscillation wavelength of a light source, change in the course of time lapse, change in ambient temperature and/or change in emitted light energy. With the optical system, information processing is realized which is insusceptible to the influence of the change in wavelength of the light beam.
