摘要:
An optical pickup device having a semiconductor laser element mounted on a substrate, a photo detector formed on the substrate to receive a laser beam emitted from the semiconductor laser element and an optical element mounted on the substrate to cover the photo detector to branch the direction of optical path of the laser beam, the optical element having its face opposing the semiconductor laser element formed as an inclined face on which a semitransparent reflection film is deposited. The optical path branching optical element is provided with preventing means by which, of laser beams incident on the optical element, a laser beam reflected and/or scattered within the optical element is prevented from irradiating the photo detector.

An objective lens drive device has a supporting member to which an objective lens is attached. The supporting member is freely translated in a direction parallel to the optical axis of the objective lens and in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. The supporting member is attached a stationary portion, and a magnetic circuit provided on the supporting member forms a closed magnetic path. A focusing coil and a plurality of tracking coils attached to the focusing coil drive the objective lens in cooperation with the magnetic circuit so that the objective lens is translated in the direction parallel to the optical axis and in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The focusing coil and the tracking coils are mounted on the stationary portion so as to oppose the magnetic circuit with a predetermined spacing therebetween.

A method is provided for producing an objective lens actuator in which a first resin portion which is a stationary portion and a second resin portion which is a movable portion on which an objective lens is to be mounted are integrally formed to plate-like bases in which a plurality of elastic support portions for movably supporting the movable portion relative to the stationary portion in a direction of an optical axis of the objective lens are formed in parallel with each other, so that the first resin portion and the second resin portions are connected to each other by the elastic support portions. At the same time, connecting portions provided between each of the elastic support portions and each plate-like base portion are formed so as not to overlap each other as viewed in the direction of the optical axis of the objective lens. The plurality of elastic support portions are cut away from the bases at the connecting portions.

An objective lens drive device that can be assembled with a high production efficiency, without any adhesives being forced out. The objective lens drive device is in the form of a bi-axial actuator having empty chambers 25a, 25b formed by a portion of a bobbin holder 15, a portion of a lens holder 2, and a portion of a coil bobbin 4. The empty chambers 25a, 25b are filled with an adhesive 3 to bond the coil bobbin 4 to the lens holder 2. Thus, no adhesives are forced out, and the adhesive can be cured within a short time.

The apparatus and methods of the present invention provide for a biaxial actuator, an optical pickup device, and an information optical processing device, in which the biaxial actuator is favorably mounted using a single structure. The mounting structure includes first fastening portions protruding from a bottom plate affixed to a substrate. Connecting portions are provided in the first fastening portions through first stress concentration points. The connecting portions are also provided in second fastening portions through second stress concentration points. A mounting portion is provided between the second fastening portions and yokes are formed on the bottom plate to establish a magnetic circuit. A fixing portion of the biaxial actuator is mounted on the mounting portion. By deforming each stress concentration point, a reference state of the objective lens can be determined at an arbitrary position.
