摘要:
This optical disc drive can read and/or write data from/on an optical disc 20 with multiple information layers including first and second information layers. The drive includes: a light source 3, 4 that emits the light beam; an objective lens 1; an actuator 2 for moving the objective lens perpendicularly to the information layers; a focus error generator 7 for generating a focus error signal representing how much the light beam has been converged on a target one of the information layers; and focus control means for forming a focal point of the light beam on the target information layer by driving the actuator in accordance with the focus error signal. According to the present invention, while a focus jump is being made to shift the focal point of the light beam from the first information layer of the optical disc 20 to the second information layer thereof by moving the objective lens 1, wavelengths and/or numerical apertures for the light beam are changeable while the objective lens 1 is moving.

A spherical aberration correction control device for controlling a spherical aberration correction section for correcting a spherical aberration of an optical beam irradiating an optical disc. The spherical aberration correction control device includes a spherical aberration control signal generation section for generating a spherical aberration control signal; and an output section for outputting the spherical aberration control signal to the spherical aberration correction section. A correction amount by which the spherical aberration is corrected is changed by the spherical aberration correction section in accordance with components of the spherical aberration control signal. The spherical aberration control signal generation section generates the spherical aberration control signal such that a sum of correction amounts corresponding to the respective components of the spherical aberration control signal becomes substantially zero with respect to a target correction amount.

An optical disk drive includes: a light source for producing a light beam; an objective lens for converging the light beam; an actuator for moving the objective lens with respect to an optical disk; a converging state detecting section for generating a focus error signal representing a converging state of the light beam on an information storage layer of the optical disk; and a focus control section for controlling the operation of the actuator such that the focus position of the light beam matches its target focus position as closely as possible in accordance with information about the target focus position and the focus error signal. The optical disk drive changes the target focus positions of the light beam when modes of operation are switched from a read mode into a write mode, or vice versa.

An optical disc drive includes: a light source; a focusing section; a focus shifting section for shifting the focal point of light by changing the position of the focusing section perpendicularly to a data storage layer of a given optical disc in accordance with a control signal; a light receiving section for receiving, at multiple areas, the light reflected from the data storage layer and generating light quantity signals; a signal generating section for generating a focus error signal based on the light quantity signals; and a control section for generating the control signal responsive to the focus error signal such that the focal point is transferred to a focus controllable range. The control section generates the control signal such that the focal point is decelerated at a first acceleration and then at a second acceleration. The absolute value of the second acceleration is smaller than that of the first acceleration.

An optical disk apparatus having a high reliability by evading collision between a condensing lens and an optical disk regardless whether the focus control is in the operative state or in the inoperative state, thereby preventing damage to the condensing lens and the optical disk. When the focus control is in the inoperative state, by using a reflection light amount from the optical disk (1), it is ascertained that the focus of the light beam is in the vicinity of the information surface and the condensing lens (15) is driven to be apart from the optical disk (1).

An optical disk apparatus of the present invention measures a surface deflection component (shape of surface deflection) from a low-pass component of a compensating filter in a surface deflection measuring part provided in a DSP. Furthermore, the optical disk apparatus calculates timing at which a positional change in a surface deflection component in time required for focus jumping is a predetermined value or less in a timing calculating part, and starts focus jumping at the timing. Because of this, stable focus jumping is made possible.

An optical disc device of the present invention includes spherical aberration changing means for changing spherical aberration occurring on a converging position of a light beam converged by a lens, an actuator for moving the spherical aberration changing means in a relatively precise manner, and an actuator for moving the spherical aberration changing means in a relatively rough manner.

The third actuator moves the spherical aberration changing means based on a direct current component included in a signal of the spherical aberration detecting means, and the second actuator moves the spherical aberration changing means based on an alternating current component included in the signal of the spherical aberration detecting means.

An optical disc apparatus includes a control section. The control section performs a first search while the tracking control is in the off state. The first search is for searching for a plurality of sets of the focus positions of the light beam and the spherical aberration amounts such that an amplitude of the tracking error signal is greater than a predetermined value. The control section performs a second search while the tracking control is in the on state. The second search is for determining a set of the focus position of the light beam and the spherical aberration amount such that the reproduced signal quality index is substantially optimal, among the plurality of sets of the focus positions of the light beam and the spherical aberration amounts obtained in the first search.
