An objective lens driver includes a movable body, a base, a supporting portion, a first multipolar magnet and a second multipolar magnet. The movable body includes an objective lens, a lens holder, and a coil substrate. The coil substrate includes a focusing coil and a tracking coil. The supporting portion allows the movable body to move in a focusing direction and a tracking direction with respect to the base. The focusing direction is parallel to the optical axis of the objective lens, while the tracking direction is perpendicular to the focusing direction. The first and second multipolar magnets sandwich the coil substrate between them. The focusing and tracking coils are arranged as two flat coils on two mutually parallel separate planes so as to overlap with each other at least partially in a direction that is perpendicular to the focusing and tracking directions.
摘要:
In a objective lens driver, at least one permanent magnet is mounted on a movable member, and plural yokes, each being wound with a coil having its winding axis in the focusing direction, are disposed facing the permanent magnet. The yokes are arranged almost symmetrically about a plane including the center of gravity of the movable member and being perpendicular to the tracking direction. In this structure, even when the movable member moves in the tracking direction, since the permanent magnet (a magnetic field source) also moves with the movable member, the distribution of magnetic flux density that contributes to the drive also shifts according to the movement of the movable member, so that the distribution of magnetic flux density maintains being almost symmetrical about the center of gravity of the movable member. Accordingly, in tilt drive, a constant sensitivity to tilt drive is obtained regardless of the position of the movable member. Further, since the rotation axis of tilt drive is fixed, there arises no crosstalk of displacement in the focusing direction and the tracking direction. Furthermore, since the point of action of driving force on the movable member is fixed, there arises no crosstalk of angular displacement in the tilt direction due to focusing drive and tracking drive. Consequently, stable focusing control, tracking control and tilt correction control are realized in an objective lens driver capable of correcting a tilt.

As imaging devices are miniaturized, and optical devices are miniaturized, lens moving mechanisms are also miniaturized. Thus, position sensors for them are required to be miniaturized and have high accuracy at low cost. A magnet 2 of a pillar shape and a yoke 3 which move in X axis direction with respect to a magnetic field detection element 1 are provided, and a shape of a cross section of the yoke 3 which is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the magnet 2 changes along the longitudinal direction.

An optical disk compliant with both a conventional optical disk such as a BD, HD DVD, and the like and a next-generation high-density optical disk according to a near-field light recording system and the like is provided.An information recording medium includes a first information recording layer and a second information recording layer, to/from which information is recorded or reproduced using laser beam. The first information recording layer is formed at a laser beam entrance surface, and is configured so that information can be recorded thereupon and/or reproduced therefrom using a first objective lens having a first numerical aperture NA1 and laser beam of a first wavelength λ1. The second information recording layer is formed so as to have a distance to the laser beam entrance surface is 0.05 mm to 1.2 mm and is configured so that information can be recorded thereupon and/or reproduced therefrom using a second objective lens having a second numerical aperture NA2 and laser beam of a second wavelength λ2. When a diffraction limit δ2, determined by the numerical aperture NA2 and the second wavelength λ2, is taken as δ2=0.61×λ2/NA2, a track pitch Tp1 of a track formed on the first information recording layer is Tp1

An optical head is provided with a light source for emitting a first laser beam having a first wavelength shorter than 430 nm, a two-wavelength light source for emitting a second laser beam having a second wavelength equal to or longer than 430 nm, a flat beam splitter in the form of a single plate for reflecting the first laser beam emitted from the light source, a wedge prism in the form of a single plate for reflecting the first laser beam reflected by the flat beam splitter and transmitting the second laser beam emitted from the two-wavelength light source, and an objective lens for focusing the first laser beam reflected by the wedge prism on an information recording surface of a BD. The light source is arranged such that the optical axis of the first laser beam emitted from the light source is inclined with respect to that of the second laser beam emitted from the two-wavelength light source. By this construction, the miniaturization of the optical head can be realized.
