摘要： Information reproducing apparatus for producing information on an optical information recording medium includes a first light source which gives forth a beam of light of a wavelength .lambda..sub.1 and a second light source which gives forth a beam of light of a wavelength .lambda..sub.2 different from the wavelength .lambda..sub.1. An optical element selectively reflects the light of the wavelength .lambda..sub.1 and selectively transmits the light of the wavelength .lambda..sub.2. The first and second light sources, the optical element and the recording medium are positionally arranged so that the light beams from the first and second light sources may be projected on a predetermined position of the recording medium and a substantially identical position to the predetermined position through the optical element, respectively, and the arrangement of these elements is also such that the respective projected light beams may fall on the optical element after being reflected by the recording medium. First and second photodetectors detect light reflected from the optical element and light transmitted light through the same in accordance with the wavelength of the light beams falling on the optical element, respectively, and develop focusing and tracking control signals.

摘要： A record carrier having a disc-shaped substrate and a recording layer for optically writing information therein is disclosed which includes a guide groove extended in the rotational direction of the record carrier so that a plurality of revolutions of the guide groove are spaced apart from each other in radial directions of the record carrier, and a pit pattern provided between adjacent guide grooves, at positions arranged at intervals in the above rotational direction, for detecting the deviation of a light spot from the center line between adjacent guide grooves. The recording/reproducing operation for this record carrier is performed in such a manner that the first tracking error signal is detected from diffracted light from the guide groove, the second tracking error signal is detected from the pit pattern, and information is recorded in and reproduced from a land formed between adjacent guide grooves in a state that a tracking operation is performed using the first and second tracking error signals. The second tracking error signal detected from the pit pattern is not affected by the tilting of the record carrier and the movement of the light spot. When a tracking signal obtained by adding the first and second tracking error signals to each other, is used in a closed-loop tracking system, a stable tracking operation can be performed. The polarity of the pit pattern is reversed on every track, and hence a polarity pit having a depth of .lambda./4 (where .lambda. indicates the wavelength of a reproducing light beam) is provided in the record carrier, to reverse the polarity of the second tracking signal on every track on the basis of a signal from the polarity pit.

摘要： A focal position detecting optical apparatus wherein a light beam focused by a first optical system is irradiated on an object to be illuminated, focal point images are formed at two foci spaced apart from each other by a cylindrical lens disposed in a path of light beam reflected from the object, and a shielding element having a tip edge making an angle of approximately 45.degree. with an operating axis of the cylindrical lens is inserted at a site between the two foci and at which the light beam has a circular cross section to extract a portion of the light beam travelling between the two foci. The extracted portion is detected by two photodetectors disposed symmetrically with an axis lying in substantially the same direction as the tip edge, and the difference between outputs of the two photodetectors is produced for detection of an actual focal position of the first optical system.

摘要： An optical memory device includes a cylindrically-shaped optical information recording medium and at least one optical head disposed around the information recording medium for irradiating the information recording medium with a light spot for recording or reproduction of information. The optical head has light spot moving means incorporated therein for the irradiation position of the light spot. The recording or reproduction of information is achieved by causing the light spot moving means to perform tracking control so that the light spot follows a desired track in an area within a range of movement of the light spot by the light spot moving means (or an infromation recording zone) in a state in which the relative positional relationship between the optical head and the cylindrically-shaped information recording medium in the direction parallel to the direction of the rotation axis of the information recording medium is fixed, with the optical head being not moved. The device can be constructed so that the position of either the optical head or the cylindrically-shaped information recording medium relative to the other in the direction parallel to the direction of the rotation axis of the information recording medium is mechanically moved, thereby making it possible to cahnge the information recording zone in the range of movement of the light spot by the light spot moving means to another information recording zone.

摘要： Data recording and/or reproduction on or from a recording medium on which tracking signal detection marks are intermittently provided along each track in a pattern wobbling alternately across the track center line with a very small lateral displacement therefrom, wherein data recording area is defined between the tracking signal detection mark. A servo control system for controlling a write/read light spot so as to follow the track with the aid of a tracking signal obtained by detecting the tracking signal detection marks is provided with a low-pass filter circuit having a cut-off frequency lower than the frequency at which the tracking signal detection marks are detected. A data is recorded or reproduced on or from the recording areas of the recording medium while following the track under the control of the servo system. A blank area where data recording is inhibited is provided between the data recording area and the tracking signal detecting mark (prepit) to suppress interference to the data. A particular access prepit pattern which allows track addresses to be at least approximately detected upon passing of the light spot over the track of the recording medium is previously provided together with synchronizing marks in a synchronizing area.

摘要： An optical disk having a disk-like substrate and a recording layer provided on the substrate. First and second regions are alternately arranged along a rotational direction of the optical disk. The first region includes a pre-formed optically detectable portion having an address area, and the second region has a guide groove serving as an optical guide for a light spot. A track offset detection area is provided for detecting track offset due to inclination of the optical disk and is disposed with respect to the first region and the second region so that the light spot is not affected by the first region and the second region. The track offset detection area is preferably a mirror portion disposed between the first region and the second region.
