摘要:
A chromatic aberration correcting method to correct chromatic aberration generated during a conversion from a reproducing mode to a recording mode in an optical recording and reproducing apparatus which uses an optical pickup to form a light spot on an optical information storage medium by focusing light emitted from a light source using an objective lens and to detect light reflected from the optical information storage medium using a photodetector includes applying a focus offset to the objective lens before the conversion from the reproducing mode to the recording mode to reduce defocus caused by chromatic aberration generated according to the change in wavelength generated when an output light power of the light source is changed from a reproducing light power to a recording light power, and correcting the defocus by outputting the recording light power from the light source during the conversion to the recording mode while the focus offset is applied to the objective lens.
摘要:
An optical pickup compatible with different types of optically recorded media and an optical recording and/or reproducing system employing the compatible optical pickup, the compatible optical pickup including: a short wavelength light source emitting a short wavelength light suitable for a high-density information storage medium; a low-density optical system emitting a long wavelength light suitable for a low-density information storage medium; an objective lens focusing lights incident from the long wavelength light source and the low-density optical system onto an information storage medium; a single photodetector (PD) receiving the short and long wavelength lights reflected from the information storage medium to detect a reproduction signal and a focus error signal; a detection lens focusing the short and long wavelength lights reflected from the information storage medium as a light spot having an appropriate size onto the single PD; a first collimating lens positioned on an optical path of a light reflected from the information storage medium, wherein the optical path is positioned between the objective lens and the single PD; and a driving unit adjusting a position of the first collimating lens along an optical axis according to a wavelength of a light moving towards the single PD to reduce an offset of a focus error signal caused by chromatic aberration.
