    摘要: An optical pickup device with the capability to read data from and write data to different kinds of optical discs in different formats and a composite optical device used in the optical pickup device. An optical pickup device is made by combining two laser couplers LC1 and LC2 that are designed for optimum read/write specifications for optical discs which are different in format from each other. In one embodiment, two laser couplers LC1 and LC2 are incorporated on a common photodiode IC to form a single laser coupler, and the laser coupler is used in an optical pickup device.

    摘要: Apparatus for reading optically detectable indicia on a record carrier, such as video information which is recorded in the form of pits on a record medium, for example, a video disc. A source of coherent light transmits a beam to the record carrier. A hologram is interposed between the coherent light source and the carrier, the hologram serving to focus the beam on the record carrier. The intensity of the focussed beam is modulated by the recorded indicia, and at least one photodetector is disposed in an optical path traversed by the modulated beam so as to detect the intensity thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the hologram focusses the beam onto the surface of the record medium whereat it is modulated and reflected therefrom to the photodetector. Plural photodetectors may be provided in separate optical paths traversed by the reflected light so as to produce outputs which, upon comparison with each other, represent deviations, or tracking errors, in the location of incidence of the light beam on the record medium. In yet another embodiment, the hologram directs the coherent light to the record medium along two different optical paths so that the reflection of one beam can be used to read out the recorded information and the reflection of the other beam can be used to detect focussing fluctuations. In a still further embodiment, another hologram is used to receive and direct reflected light to the photodetector.

    摘要: A rotatable record carrier upon which reproducible information is recorded in the form of spaced apart pits in substantially concentric circular tracks on a surface of the carrier. The pits may represent frequency-modulated information signals, and the lengths of the pits are independent of the frequency of the information signals. A method and apparatus for reproducing information from this record carrier is disclosed, wherein a light beam is used to scan the tracks of the record medium, and the size of the scanning light beam is changed as a function of the radius of the track which then is being scanned so as to increase the size of the beam when a track of larger radius is scanned. This control over the size of the scanning beam establishes a constant relationship between the size of the beam and the length of the pits despite changes in the pit length due to the different radii of the tracks.

    摘要: In optically producing a reproducible recording of video or other signals, the intensity of at least one laser light beam is modulated by the signals to be recorded while such light beam scans a substantially flat surface on a photo-sensitive recording medium which is photo-reacted to a degree varying substantially linearly in correspondence with the intensity of the light impinging thereon over a predetermined range of light intensities, and the intensity of the light beam and the degree of modulation thereof by the signals are selected to maintain the maximum and minimum intensities of the modulated light beam within such predetermined range so as to form simultaneously on the record medium a tracking path portion and a recorded signal portion which is unified with the latter. The photo-sensitive record medium is desirably constituted by a positive photo-resist so that, upon development thereof, the tracking path portion is obtained in the form of a groove having the recorded signal portion defined by irregularities at the bottom of such groove. The positive photo-resist or other photo-sensitive material may be conveniently applied as a layer on a base plate or disc which is rotated while the light beam and disc are moved relative to each other in a radial direction of the disc so that the groove or other tracking path portion forms a spiral.
