摘要:
A beam shaping device shapes a light beam from a light source to have a circular cross section, and changes the refractive index thereof by causing an electric field to be produced by a voltage applied to electrodes thereof. In this way, the light beam from the light source is deflected, and an objective lens gather the shaped and deflected light beam to expose an optical disk.

Accessing method and an apparatus therefor in an optical disc apparatus having an acousto-optic light deflector for deflecting a light spot to a different address or different track on an optical disc are disclosed. An auto-focus signal is held at a constant level for a predetermined period when the acousto-optic light deflector deflects the light spot. Thus, an affect caused by coexistence of a plurality of acoustic frequencies in the acoustic-optic device is eliminated and fast light accessing is attained.

The invention relates to an optical holographic device for reading out a data page recorded in a holographic medium (106). The device comprises means (104, 105) for forming an imaged data page from the data page. The imaged data page comprises imaged data bits (a, b, c, d) having a first size (s1) in a direction (D). The device comprises means for detecting (114) the imaged data page. The detecting means comprise detector elements having a second size (s2) in the direction (D). The second size is larger than the first size. The device comprises displacement means (200) for displacing the imaged data page in the direction (D) with respect to the detecting means so as to scan the imaged data page.

A light source unit comprises a laser unit for emitting a laser beam; a deflection element for deflecting the laser beam emitted from the laser unit and for outputting a deflected laser beam, a deflection angle of the deflected laser beam being controlled by a control signal supplied from an external controller to the deflection element; and a shading member for partly or entirely shading the deflected laser beam output from the deflection element, a spot size of a laser beam passing through the shading member being changed in accordance with the deflection angle of the deflected laser beam. The light source unit outputs the laser beam passing through the shading element. An optical scanning image recording apparatus using the above light source unit comprises the light source unit described above, a recording medium on which an image is formed by an optical scanning, and an optical system which moves the light beam output from the light source unit so that the light beam moved by the optical system scans a surface of the recording medium.

A dynamic micro-machined optical device is applied in a micro-optical pickup. The micro-optical pickup includes an actuator and a dynamic grating, wherein the actuator may be a cantilever beam electrostatic actuator, a scratch drive actuator, a magnetic actuator or an electromagnetic actuator; and the actuator is controlled by applying an external voltage. The position of the dynamic grating is switchable between on and off the optical axis. When the external voltage is applied, the on-axis dynamic grating splits the light from a laser diode into multi-beams and the micro-optical pickup can rapidly retrieve information on the disk by simultaneously reading multi-tracks on the disk with multi low energy beams. When the external voltage is turned-off, the dynamic grating is off the optical axis and the light from the laser diode will pass directly and write information into the disk with single high energy beam.
摘要:
A composite interferometer and electro-optical prism provide a means to control the position of a spot of light to read and write data on an optical disc. In this invention each light ray from a spectral source of a cone of light rays is regenerated into a plurality of light rays by an interferometer. These rays are transmitted through an electro-optic crystal and focused by a lens into a constructive interference fringe on an optical disc. A voltage across the electro-optical crystal and magnetic field inside the spectral source define the position of the constructive interference fringe on the disc.
