PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a light reception signal required for tracking control without being affected by interlayer stray light. SOLUTION: An optical disk device 190 calculates a tracking error signal STE3 according to expression (12). In expression (12), an optical pickup 197 removes, when a stray light layer distance dn is within a stray light layer distance range dh1, a rapidly increasing stray light component from a push-pull component by utilizing values obtained from stray light reception regions D52P and D52Q which are substantially proportional to the stray light component included in the push-pull component. As a result, even when the stray light layer distance dn is small and a lens shift occurs, the optical disk device 190 generates the tracking error signal STE3 having no influence of stray light patterns W formed from interlayer stray light beams LN from a plurality of recording layers Y, thereby achieving tracking control with high accuracy.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for removing astigmatism and accurately recording and reproducing information without redundancy in an optical disk device which uses a rising prism and includes an optical pickup device for dynamically correcting astigmatism. SOLUTION: A correction amount of spherical aberration is adaptively controlled by changing a divergent angle or a convergent angle of laser light made incident to the rising prism by moving a collimator lens 34a along the optical axis. However, the astigmatism occurs due to the rising prism 36. Moreover, this astigmatism changes according to the changes in the divergent angle or the convergent angle of the laser light. Therefore, the astigmatism caused by the rising prism 36 is removed by controlling an astigmatism correcting element 35 according to the changes in the divergent angle or the convergent angle of such laser light.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a DPD signal while attaining one push-pull system and dealing with an optical disc with a plurality of signal layers. SOLUTION: A photodetector 9 is divided into two track direction edge areas and a track direction middle area in the direction orthogonal to the track direction. Furthermore, the track direction middle area is divided into at least two in the direction orthogonal to the track direction and the photodetector 9 is further divided into two in parallel with the track direction. Consequently, two light receiving areas E, F are formed in the edge areas in the track direction at the upper side in a figure, two light receiving areas H, G are formed in the edge areas in the track direction at the lower side in the figure, and light receiving areas A to D are formed in the track direction middle area. This invention can be applied to the optical disk device capable of at least either one of reproducing or recording. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide device and method for recording/reproducing optical information easily detecting a tracking error by plural spots. SOLUTION: The optical information recording/reproducing device is provided with a hologram element 9a diffracting ±1st-order diffracted beams so as to focus on front/rear of an optical axial direction for a focal position of a 0-order diffracted beam, a prism bisecting luminous flux consisting of the ±1st-order diffracted beams and the 0-order diffracted beam symmetrically with the direction nearly parallel to a track and a photodetector 10 provided in the vicinity of the focal position of the 0-order diffracted beam by the hologram element 9a in its optical system. Then, the 0-order diffracted beam of the hologram element 9a forms six spots on the photodetector 10, and since the tracking error is detected using these six detection signals, the tracking error is detected easily by plural spots such as a DPP method, which is difficult usually.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the damage of a magnetic tape and a tape travelling system and to improve the reproduction compatibility. CONSTITUTION:An actuator 23 of a tape guide is servo-controlled and a flange 21 is displaced upward and downward. At the time of reproduction, reference signals f1-f3 deeply recorded on a tape 1 are reproduced. A band-pass filter and a differential amplifier and a switch generate a tracking error signal. An actuator 23 is controlled through a phase compensator drive amplifier and the tape 1 is controlled to be located at the optimum place. At the time of fast forwarding and rewinding, the prescribed bias value is applied to the drive amplifier through the switch. The actuator 23 is driven to expand a tape travelling channel.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make a pitch fixed between tracks to be recorded by various heads by irradiating a multispot and executing recording while executing tracking control with the already recorded track as a reference. CONSTITUTION:At first, a tape is scanned by an A head and when tracks a11-a14 to be shown by real lines are formed by spots sa1-Sa4 a head B next executes scanning so that the track can be formed between the tracks a14 and a13 by a spot Sb1 in an end part. Namely, since an interval between the tracks a13 and a14 is defined as a guide interval, side spots Ss and Ss of the spot Sb1 are irradiated so as to be spread over the tracks a14 and a13 and a tracking error signal is obtained by the reflected light. Then, tracking servo is loaded. Since spots Sb2-Sb4 are outputted from the same optical system as the spot Sb1, the positions are controlled in the same way as the spot Sb1. Tracks b14 and b13 are irradiated by the scan of the B head, and the recording is executed while executing the tracking control by the reflected light from the side spots Ss and Ss of the spot Sa1.
