摘要： An optical actuator for positioning a lens to focus a laser light beam on a surface of a compact disk, and to compensate for tilt errors in the surface of the compact disk, including a lens mount for supporting the lens; a base; at least two pairs of spaced-apart flexures, each pair of flexures being fixed to the lens mount and to a base, the flexures of one pair being arranged so that they are non-parallel when viewed from the side and the distance between flexures at the base is less than the distance at the position where they are mounted to the lens mount and the other pair of flexures being arranged so that they are non-parallel when viewed from the side and the distance between flexures at the base is greater than the distance at the position where they are mounted to the lens mount; and applying a force to the lens mount along a line and between the flexures so that when viewed from the parallel flexure side the line bisects each flexure to cause the flexures to deflect such that as the lens moves in a vertical direction to focus the light beam, it also rotates to maintain a nearly perpendicular alignment of the optical axis to the compact disk surface, minimizing the residual tilt error.

摘要： An optical actuator is disclosed for positioning a lens to focus a laser light on a surface of a member, such as an optical disk, with minimum lens tilt error. The optical actuator includes a lens mount for supporting the lens, a plurality of flexures fixed to the lens mount, and a based spaced from the lens mount. The optical actuator further includes a motor structure for operating the actuator in energized and de-energized states. In the energized state, a force is applied to the lens mount to cause the lens mount to move in a focus direction. In the de-energized state, the flexures relax, causing the lens mount to move substantially in the focus direction. The optical actuator further includes an actuator travel stop disposed relative to the base and the lens mount for supporting the lens mount in a downward direction when the actuator is in the de-energized state, to thereby prevent the flexures from creeping in such a way so as to result in lens tilt.
