A device for stabilizing the rotating speed of a record player has a passive element fitted on the same shaft of a rotating, disk, which activates a record to rotate together. The passive element is formed with a surface expanding outward from a center portion fitted with a shaft and having its outer annular portion engraved with annular minute net holes. A sensor facing the positions of the net holes is provided under a printed circuit board for detecting the change of the shifting speed of the net holes. The signal data detected by the sensor is fed to a micro-processor to carry on operation, and after that, the value of the signal data is transmitted back and automatically modulates the voltage supplied to the rotating disk to let the rotating disk and the record rotate steadily.

An objective lens (1) for focusing light on an optical recording medium (not shown) and irradiating the same with the focused light is held on a lens holder (2). A support member (10) is provided on a base member (9) as a foundation of a device for driving optical system. The lens holder (2) is supported on the support member (10). Six linear elastic bodies (7a through 7f) of the same length are cylindrically shaped. The lens holder (2) is supported on the support member (10) by the linear elastic bodies (7a through 7f). A center of a circle formed by the ends of the linear elastic bodies (7a through 7f) is an axis of point symmetry thereof. Distances between adjacent ones of the ends of the linear elastic bodies (7a through 7f) are all the same.

Novel, quick, and reliable detection methods for determining the authenticity of optical and/or audio disc articles (such as compact discs, digital video discs, CD-ROM discs, and the like) are provided. Such a method basically entails the incorporation of an identifier or marking means within the edges of target optical discs or within any other portion of a target disc such that exposure to non-visible light sources will provide the desired identification upon irradiation or detection of the marking means therein. Such an identifier or marking agent thus may be utilized in conjunction with a transparent holding case whereby the needed light source may be exposed through the transparent walls thereof to permit detection of counterfeit or authentic discs without requiring opening of the case itself. Such a method may also be utilized for discs that are removed from or have not been placed and sealed within such a case as well. Specific methods of utilizing particular transparent cases are thus also encompassed within this invention. Specific methods of utilizing particular transparent cases are thus also encompassed within this invention as are novel storage unit configurations to maximize the benefits of the transparent properties thereof.
摘要:
A focus control process (S2), a spherical aberration correcting process (S4), and a focus offset adjusting process (S7 to S9) are performed in this order. In the focus control process, an output of a focus error signal obtained by detecting focal point displacement that occurs in a direction of an optical axis of a light beam focused through a two-element object lens is controlled so that the output becomes close to zero. In the spherical aberration correcting process, spherical aberration that occurs with respect to the light beam is corrected. In the focus offset adjusting process, offset of the focus error signal is adjusted. In this way, it is possible to provide a focal point adjusting method and an optical pickup device in which focus control can be performed stably by eliminating the offset.

An optical head reproduces optical disks of different disk plate thickness t1 (0.6 mm) or t2 (1.2 mm) by using light beams of two wavelengths and one object lens. An converging element comprises a central portion and outer portion, wherein the central portion has optimum design plate thickness of 0.6*t1 to t1 and the outer portion has optimum design plate thickness of 0.6 mm. By providing a step difference in the converging element, information can be recorded or reproduced for an information medium of disk plate thickness t1 and for an information medium of disk plate thickness t2, in a state having small side lobes. Alternatively, a step difference is provided in the object lens, and optical distance L2 from a second light source to a condensing optical system is set to 80 to 95% of optical distance L1 from a first light source to the condensing optical system. Alternatively, only light of first wavelength is shielded or diffracted in a ring-like shape.
