摘要:
A light wavefront measuring apparatus (2, 2a, 42) includes a separating element (7a, 47a) for separating a flux of light which exits from an optical head (1, 31) into a first beam and a second beam, a first interference fringe display section (21, 21a) for displaying interference fringes formed from the first beam, a Dove prism (13, 53) for rotating a wavefront of the second beam around its optical axis (AX2), and a second interference fringe display section (22, 22a) for displaying interference fringes formed from the second beam which passed through it. In adjustment of the light source device, position of a collimator (5) in the optical head (1, 31) is adjusted in optical axis direction so as to approximate the interference fringe patterns displayed in the interference fringe display sections (21, 22, 21a, 22a) each other.

摘要:
An optical component, a hologram, and a photodetector are configured in an optical head device of an optical disc device such that a +1-order beam or a −1-order beam of diffracted light generated from light reflected from an information track in the intended information recording layer strikes the interior of the light-receiving surfaces of the tracking error detection light-receiving sections, a +1-order beam or a −1-order beam of diffracted light generated from light reflected from an information track in an information recording layer one layer deeper than the intended information recording layer strikes outside the light-receiving sections, and a +1-order beam or a −1-order beam of diffracted light that is generated from light reflected from an information track in an information recording layer one layer shallower than the intended information recording layer strikes outside the light-receiving sections.

An optical pickup device includes a plurality of laser light sources emitting laser beams of different oscillation wavelengths, and a plurality of objective lenses on which the laser beams in the form of diverging beams emitted by the plurality of laser light sources are incident, and which directly focus the laser beams onto a recording surface of an optical disc. A rising mirror reflects a laser beam in the form of a diverging beam emitted by a laser light source of a predetermined oscillation wavelength among the plurality of laser light sources so as to lead the laser beam to one of the plurality of objective lenses, and transmits the laser beam in the form of a diverging beam emitted by the other laser light source. As the rising mirror transmits the laser beam in the form of the diverging beam emitted by said other laser light source, astigmatism is generated so as to correct existing astigmatism of the laser beam emitted by said other laser light source.

An optical pickup device moves in a feed direction parallel to a radial direction of an optical disc rotating on an axis of rotation, and records or reproduces information on an information recording surface of the optical disc. The optical pickup device has a first light source that emits light of a first wavelength, a second light source that emits light of a second wavelength differing from the first wavelength, a first objective lens for focusing the light from the first light source onto the information recording surface, and a second objective lens for focusing the light from the second light source onto the information recording surface. The first and second objective lenses and the first light source are disposed in a plane that passes through the axis of rotation and is parallel to the feed direction.
摘要:
An optical disc device compatible with optical discs of different types having different track pitches, having a light detecting means (104) disposed in the path of diffracted light from the recording tracks on the optical disc (101), on which a light beam from a light emitting section (103) is incident. During the loading of the optical disc, the optical disc device discriminates the type of optical disc from the detection output of the light detecting means (104) and the positional relation between the optical disc (101) and the light detecting means (104). A simple structure thus enables the optical disc type to be discriminated.
摘要:
In a method of setting a quantity of light directed onto an optical disc for reproduction purposes, an area of the optical disc in which information has been recorded is reproduced with a test-reproducing light quantity (S14, S24), a reproduction time or number of reproductions up to the time when the reproduced signal quality value reaches a prescribed value is determined (S20, S30), and the quantity of reproducing light used in regular reproduction is set by performing calculations with the determined value (S32). The state in which recorded marks have significantly degraded can also be detected, and degradation of the recorded marks to the unreproducible state can be avoided.

An optical element driving apparatus includes a holder that holds a plurality of switchable optical elements for focusing light on a recording medium, a resiliently deformable supporting unit that supports the holder, a focusing driving unit that drives the holder in a direction of optical axes of the optical elements, and a tracking driving unit that drives the holder in a tracking direction perpendicular to the direction of the optical axes. The switching of the optical elements is performed by moving the holder by means of the tracking driving unit, so as to select one of the optical elements that focuses light on the recording medium.

An optical pickup device includes a laser light source 201, a collimating optical system 202 for converting laser light to parallel light, a focusing optical system 205 for focusing the parallel light onto an optical disc, a light detection unit for receiving returning light returning by reflection of the focused light from the optical disc 101 and outputting a detection signal, and a reflecting mirror 204 disposed between the collimating optical system and the focusing optical system. The reflecting mirror 204 has a reflective surface including three regions having different reflectances. The central region on the reflecting surface meets the other two regions, at positions illuminated by the light focused by the light focusing optical system, in boundary lines that are parallel to a radial direction on the optical disc 101. The reflectance of the central region is lower than the reflectances of the other two regions.
