摘要:
An arrangement for read-out of information from an optical information carrier is disclosed. The system comprises a VCSEL for improving the signal-to-noise ratio of light reflected from and modulated by an information carrier. The VCSEL has a substrate that transmits the emission from the active regions of the VCSEL. Thereby, the need for beam-splitters in the detection branch of the device is completely eliminated.

A variable refractive index unit (140) includes an optical axis and a first layer (144a, 146a, 146a′ of controllably variable refractive index extending in a first predetermined configuration in a first plane transverse the optical axis. A second, different layer (144b, 146b, 146b′ of controllably variable refractive index extends in a second predetermined configuration in a second, different plane transverse the optical axis. The second layer (144b, 146b, 146b′) overlaps the first layer (144a, 146a, 146a′).

Tilt (θ(r, φ)) is measured in a measuring location (P(r, φ) optical disc (2). A pivotable objective lens (34) is brought to a first focus measuring location such as to focus a light beam (32) in a first anchor point (P1(r−Δr1, φ))having the same angular coordinate φ as said measuring location (P(r, φ)) and having a small radial distance Δr1 from said measuring location. The objective lens is brought to a second focus measuring location such as to focus the light beam in a second anchor point (P2(r+Δr2, φ)) having the same angular coordinate φ as said measuring location and having a small radial distance Δr2 from said measuring location, wherein said first and second anchor pints are located on opposite sides of said measuring location. Tilt in said measuring location is calculated from the coordinates of said two focus measuring locations of said objective lens.

A method and device for measuring the tilt in an optical disc drive (1) is disclosed. The optical disc drive (1) comprises two lasers (31, 41) generating two laser beams (32, 42) having mutually different optical characteristics. One of these laser beams (32) is continuously ON, and is used for writing or reading data to or form the disc. The other laser beam (42) is repeatedly switched ON and OFF. Tilt is measured by comparing a normalized error signal (RES(ON)) during the ON-phase (TON) with a normalized error signal (RES(OFF)) during the OFF-phase.

The invention relates to a method of and a device for compensating tilt of an optical or magneto-optical disc (1) exhibiting unknown tilt when placed in an apparatus for reading and/or writing data from and/or onto the optical or magneto-optical disc. A holographic optical element (23) containing a plurality of holograms each defining a phase profile able to compensate at least a specific coma amount is placed in a light path of an optical read/write unit (4) of the apparatus. The amount of tilt of the disc or coma introduced by the tilt is detected (14, 21), and a hologram defining a phase profile corresponding to the detected amount of tilt or coma is selected and accessed among the plurality of holograms of the holographic optical element for compensating the detected amount of tilt or coma. The invention applies to any type of optical data carrier such as so-called LD, CD, R-CD, DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVR (Blue Ray).

This invention relates to an optical scanning device for scanning an optical record carrier and detecting a tilt characteristic of the optical record carrier during scanning. The device includes a redirecting structure (26) arranged on an objective lens (10) to redirect a part of a radiation beam, when travelling towards the record carrier, differently to a main part of the radiation beam. The redirected beam part follows a path which is different to that of a path followed by the main beam part, towards a position sensitive detector in a detection system (16).
