Abstract:
An optical pickup incorporates a two-lens system with first and second lenses (13) and (14) being arranged in the following manner: the first lens has a first surface (15) to receive a laser beam radiated from a semiconductor laser and a second surface (16) to direct the laser beam transmitted from the first surface (15) towards the second lens (14); the second lens (14) has a third surface (17) to receive the light flux transmitted from the second surface (16) and a fourth surface (18) to direct the light flux transmitted from the third surface (17) towards an optical disc placed opposite thereto; and the first and fourth surfaces (15, 18) are used as a reference during positioning. The aberrations of the optical pickup are limited within a tolerable limit without incorporating a special device for that purpose even if errors arise in thickness of component lenses of a two-lens system constituting an element of the pickup.
Abstract:
A variable focus lens contains a conductive liquid material portion and an insulative liquid material portion in a cylindrical container and includes a first electrode which applies voltage to the conductive liquid material portion through a dielectric layer and a second electrode which directly contacts with the conductive liquid material portion, in which the dielectric layer is an anodized portion 22 made of a metal oxide formed by anodizing the first electrode.

Abstract:
FIELD: optics. SUBSTANCE: objective lens has at least two lens components having Abbe number 40 or more on d-line. At least one of any of its surfaces is aspherical and numerical aperture amounts to 0.7 or more. Optical sensor designed to afford adequate recording and reading of data signals has mentioned lens designed for converging laser beams emitted by light source onto optical recording medium surface to single point. Objective lens of rather large aperture is obtained which enables rather high precision of chromatic aberration correction. EFFECT: facilitated manufacture; enhanced reliability of data signal recording and reading. 8 cl, 109 dwg
Abstract:
An objective lens having a doublet structure and a numerical aperture of 0.7 or more and an optical pickup apparatus having this objective lens are adapted to an optical recording medium having a high information recording density, the objective lens being structured such that at least one side is formed into a aspheric surface and the lens elements (3, 4) are made of low-diffusion glass having an Abbe's number of 40 or greater.
Abstract:
The lens holder is for lenses (2,3) which are arranged on an optical axis of an optical measuring head which is constructed for the recording and/or reproduction of data. The holder has several reference surfaces (4a1,4b1) which in each case lie along the optical axes and the inclination of the lenses the lenses (2,3) for controlling the positions of the lenses to regulate the positions of the lenses along the optical axes and the inclination of the lenses. Independent claims are included for methods for producing a lens holder, and for a metal punch used for producing the lens holder.
