摘要:
An optical pickup apparatus for optically reading the data stored in a flat information carrier disc in the form of tiny pits. The pickup apparatus directs a beam of light from a light source to the disc surface. The impinging beam is modulated by the data pits and reflected back to a photodetector. A novel optical grating assembly is disposed between the light source and the information disc, and includes a diffraction grating for the light beam from the source and a holographic grating for directing part of the light beam reflected by the disc to the photodetector. The diffraction and holographic gratings are formed integral with each other into the grating assembly.

An optical information reading apparatus for reading recorded information by detecting the presence or absence of pits on an optical disk using a laser beam. The laser beam converged a lens irradiates the optical disk in the form of light spots when in the in-focus state. A dividing line of a holographic grating used for detecting offset of the lens from the in-focus state and a dividing line of a photosensitive detector receiving a light diffracted by the holographic grating are adapted to as to be parallel to a radial direction of the optical disk. Therefore, when a light spot formed on the optical disk by astigmatism of the lens assumes an elliptical shape, the light spot becomes an ellipse whose long axis extends to the direction of the dividing line of the photosensitive detector, so that no error signal is generated in the in-focus state.

A device for supporting an object lens in an optical head includes a substantially parallelepipedic link mechanism (5), a rotatable member (16) rotatable in the parallelepiped, a second hinge member (15) connecting the rotatable member (16) to the inner wall of one plate (10) of the link mechanism (15) to make it possible to rotate the rotatable member about an axis parallel to the optical axis of the object lens (1), a lens holding member (2) supported by the rotatable member (16) and holding the object lens (1), and a base (17) for substantially holding another plate (12) of the link mechanism.

A photo detecting device has a photoelectric converting element formed on a semiconductor chip with the photoelectric converting element being divided into first and second light receiving regions. The photo detecting device further has a signal processing circuit formed on the same semiconductor chip. The signal processing circuit includes a subtracting element for subtracting an output signal from the second light receiving region from an output signal from the first light receiving region.
