摘要:
An optical head reproduces optical disks of different disk plate thickness thicknesses t1 (0.6 mm) or t2 (1.2 mm) by using light beams of two wavelengths and one object lens. An converging element comprises a central portion and outer portion, wherein the central portion has optimum design plate thickness of 0.6*t1 to t1 and the outer portion has optimum design plate thickness of 0.6 mm. By providing a step difference in the converging element, information can be recorded or reproduced for an information medium of disk plate thickness t1 and for an information medium of disk plate thickness t2, in a state having small side lobes. Alternatively, a step difference is provided in the object lens, and optical distance L2 from a second light source to a condensing optical system is set to 80 to 95% of optical distance L1 from a first light source to the condensing optical system. Alternatively, only light of first wavelength is shielded or diffracted in a ring-like shape.

An optical head is provided with: an objective-lens-use opening that determines an aperture of the objective lens; a light-source light-quantity controlling opening that aperture-controls light that has been separated by the light separation device; a light detector that receives light that has been aperture-controlled by the light-source light-quantity controlling opening; and a light detector that receives light that has been reflected by the optical recording medium, and has an arrangement in which: the length of the optical light path from the spherical aberration correcting device to the objective-lens-use opening is made virtually the same as a length of the optical light path from the spherical aberration correcting device to the light-source light-quantity controlling opening, and the aperture of the light-source light-quantity controlling opening has virtually the same size as the aperture of the objective-lens-use opening. The objective of the present invention is to provide an optical head in which a signal outputted from the light quantity detection device is unchanged even when the spherical aberration correcting device is driven so that by using this signal, the quantity of light from the light source is set to an appropriate value.

An optical pickup according to the present invention includes an integrated circuit element (LDD) 5 for driving first, second, and third semiconductor lasers 3, 4, and 5. The LDD 50 is shaped so as to have a rectangular principal face surrounded by one side, with a plurality of input/output pins being arranged along each side. The plurality of input/output pins include a first pin group connected to a blue-violet laser 5 whose oscillation wavelength is the shortest, a second pin group connected to a red laser 4, and a third pin group connected to an infrared laser 3. The wiring structure of the optical pickup includes a first transmission line 41 for connecting the first pin group to the blue-violet laser 5, a second transmission line 33 for connecting the second pin group to the red laser 4, and a third transmission line 31 for connecting the third pin group to the infrared laser 3, where the first transmission line 41 is shorter than both the second and third transmission lines 31 and 33. Of the rectangular principal face of the LDD 50, the side along which the first pin group is provided is orthogonal to the side along which the second pin group is provided or to the side along which the third pin group is provided.

An optical information apparatus of the present invention includes: an optical pick-up head including: a light source; a diffraction unit; a condensing unit; a beam splitter; a photodetector; and a tracking error signal generator. An optical recording medium has tracks arranged substantially at a constant pitch. An average of a pitch is tp. When a main beam is placed on the track, a first sub-beam and a second sub-beam are placed between the tracks. The tracking error signal generator performs a differential arithmetic operation with respect to signals output from a light-receiving portion receiving the main beam to generate a first push-pull signal, performs a differential arithmetic operation with respect to signals output from the light-receiving portions receiving the first sub-beam and the second sub-beam to generate a second push-pull signal, and performs a differential arithmetic operation with respect to the first push-pull signal and the second push-pull signal to generate a tracking error signal, in a case where an amplitude of the first push-pull signal obtained at the pitch tp is fluctuated when the light beam is scanned in a direction orthogonal to the tracks of the optical recording medium.
