摘要:
A small size, high performance optical pickup device using a light reception/emission element (laser coupler) and more particularly, an optical pickup device which is capable of excellent recording and reproduction for a magnetic optical recording medium. A prism disposed over optical detectors is made of double refractive crystal material. An optical detector for receiving extraordinary ray is formed at a position laterally deviated corresponding to so-called walk-off of the extraordinary ray. Tracking error signal is detected depending on a distribution of intensities of spots formed by reflective beams on respective optical detectors.
摘要:
An optical pickup includes a polarization component separation element which is formed as a unit or single piece of birefringence material. The separation element is not laminated obviating the need to carefully match the optical axes of the laminated pieces. Multiple reflections within the birefringent crystal which comprises the separation element improves the separation and resolution of the polarized components which are extracted from a laser beam reflected back off the media surface.

An optical pickup and an optical recording medium reproducing apparatus smaller and more reliable than conventional optical pickups and optical recording medium reproducing apparatuses. These are provided with a one-dimensional metal grid which is formed so that the ratio h/d that the pitch "d" and the thickness of metal conductors "h" constituting the wire grid is about 0.1 or more, and also a group of light receiving units which receive light beams split by the one-dimensional metal grid.
摘要:
A pickup apparatus includes a light source; a light separator; an object lens that concentrates the light which penetrated the light separator on the optical recording medium; a movable lens; and a light sensing element that receives the reflected light from the optical recording medium separated by the light separator, wherein a coma aberration generated by the transverse shift of the object lens is corrected by a coma aberration which is generated by the deviation of a spherical aberration generated in an optical path from the light source to the object lens and a spherical aberration generated in an optical path from the object lens to a light concentration position on the optical recording medium which are due to the transverse shift.
摘要:
A polarization optical element causes minimum loss and provides light in the visible and near-infrared regions with practically satisfactory polarization contrast even when the grid period is comparatively long. Metal grids 1 are formed on a substrate 2 with a refractive index n.sub.1 to satisfy conditions 0.2
