A beam splitter for a digital camera splits light passed through a photographing lens into beams directed to a CCD and a finder optical system. The beam splitter includes at least one optical element provided with a beam splitting surface that is inclined with respect to an optical axis of the photographing lens, and a multi-layer film including a plurality of layers of dielectric materials is formed on the beam splitting surface. The multi-layer film is configured such that the beam splitting surface exhibits a substantially constant reflectivity at least for visible light that is incident on the beam splitting surface at any incident angle within a predetermined range.

摘要:
A device in which an offset is added to a focusing error signal to control an objective lens and thereby reduce the generation of cross-talk when a beam spot that is converged on an optical disk crosses over a wall of a groove of a track of the disk. By adding the offset to the focusing error signal, the objective lens is moved out of focus with the disk. Thus, the shape of a beam spot formed on a photo sensor is changed from a circle to an ellipse. A condenser lens provided for forming the beam spot is moved along the optical axis thereof in such a manner that an output of a recorded signal of the disk is at a maximum value. As a result, the objective lens is brought into focus on the disk. Thereafter, the objective lens is focused on the disk in accordance with the focusing error signal to which the offset is added, while maintaining the beam spot in the shape of an ellipse.

A signal detecting apparatus in an optical disc apparatus having an objective lens which converges light emitted from a light source onto an optical disc and a condenser lens which converges light reflected by the optical disc and transmitted through the objective lens includes first and second light receiving elements, each having a light receiving surface located before or behind a convergence point on which the light reflected from the optical disc is converged when the objective lens is in a focal position.

A zoom lens barrel includes a cam ring which is driven to rotate; a first lens frame which is positioned around the cam ring, supports a frontmost lens group of a zoom lens system, and includes a first cam follower; a light-shield exterior ring positioned around the first lens frame, and includes a second cam follower; and first and second outer cam grooves formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cam ring so that the first and second cam followers are engaged in the first and second outer cam grooves, respectively. The second cam follower is engaged in the second outer cam groove through a linear guide slot formed on the first lens frame. Zooming ranges of the first and second outer cam grooves are shaped so as to move the first lens frame and the light-shield exterior ring in the same moving path.
摘要:
In an optical system comprising a light source section consisting of a semiconductor laser and a collimator lens, an objective lens for focusing a light beam on an optical disk, a beam splitter for separating part of the light beam reflected from the optical disk, a condenser lens, and a photosensor for detecting the separated light beam to produce a focusing and a tracking error signal, a plane parallel plate is provided between the light source section and the beam splitter. By rotating the plane parallel plate with an adjusting mechanism, the light beam undergoes a parallel shift, so that the intensity distribution of light being incident on the objective lens is varied and a tracking offset due to a deviation of the optical axis of the output light from the light source section can be compensated for. The plane parallel plate may be disposed between the beam splitter and the condenser lens.
