Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus capable of easily switching between two imaging modes, namely an imaging mode, for example, based on light field photography technology and a normal imaging mode with high resolution by simple configuration and structure. SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus 1 includes an imaging lens 11, a first imaging device 12 disposed on a focal plane of the imaging lens, a second imaging device 14, and an image forming means 13 and picks up an image in a first imaging mode or a second imaging mode. When an image is picked up in the first imaging mode, light passing the imaging lens 11 is imaged on an imaging surface of the first imaging device 12. When an image is picked up in the second imaging mode, light passing the imaging lens 11 passes the first imaging device 12 and reaches an imaging surface of the second imaging device 13 by the image forming means 14.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical head device which can detect a stable focal error signal and a tracking error signal while it consists of simple components and it is easy for assembly and adjustment, low cost, small size and light weight. SOLUTION: The optical head device is provided with: a radiation light source; a condensing optical system which converges an emitted light beam on a micro spot of a recording medium; an aberration generation means which gives astigmatism to a light beam which is reflected and diffracted by a recording medium; and a photodetection means which receives a light beam which is given with the astigmatism by the aberration generation means. The aberration generation means is near an objective lens, and arranged so that it may have a focal line in the direction of about 45 degrees to a track on the recording medium and be fixed so that the relative position to the objective lens may not be moved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure the symmetry of a spot of ±first-order diffracted light formed on a photodetecting element, to form the photodetecting element into a small size, and to achieve the reduction of the number of components, cost reduction and miniaturization. SOLUTION: In this device for detecting optical information, an optical element 32 in which a cylindrical concave lens part 321 with a curvature in a direction orthogonal to the track of an optical disk 24 is formed is stacked on the photodetecting element 30. Reflecting optical flux from the optical disk 24 is diffracted to ±first-order diffracted light and zero-order light by using a hologram element 28. The zero-order light is magnified in the direction orthogonal to the track of the optical disk 24 by passing it through the cylindrical concave lens part 321 and is made incident on the photodetecting element 30. The ± first-order diffracted light is directly transmitted through the optical element 32 as it is, made incident on the photodetecting element 30 and then a circular light spot is formed on the photodetecting element 30.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To propose a motion picture film traveling device capable of drastically reducing the reproducing error of a signal recorded in an area other than the picture recording area of motion picture film. CONSTITUTION:This device is provided with a reproducing part reproducing information optically recorded in the specified area of the motion picture film 41 based on light transmitted through the film 41 by irradiating the specified area of the film 41 with the light; and a shake preventing means 80 provided in the reproducing part and preventing the film 41 from being shaken in the thickness direction of the film 41 at the time of traveling by interposing an area between traveling synchornizing holes plurally formed in the longitudinal direction of the film 41 at the end in the width direction of the film 41 or only the area outside the traveling synchronizing hole of the film 41 from both sides of the film 41. Thus, the reproducing error of the signal recorded in the area other than the picture recording area of the motion picture film is drastically reduced by this device.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide the recording device capable of recording and forming many computer holograms and realizing long-time recording of animation pictures. CONSTITUTION:A wave front information recording section 1 records the wave front information of an object. A computer 2 computes and synthesizes the holograms from the wave front information of the object and outputs two-dimensional hologram information. An information order conversion and recording control section 4 converts the two-dimensional hologram information once stored in a buffer 3 into one-dimensional hologram information and subjects the one- dimensional hologram information to the control for recording. A scanning system section 5 converts the one-dimensional information into a laser beam in accordance with the timing of the synchronizing signal supplied from this information order conversion and recording control section 4 and records the one-dimensional hologram information on a tape-shaped optical recording medium 6.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To increase recording capacity per recording track and to simplify a system configuration by guiding a tapelike recording medium by a guide member layer having a circular-arc-like inner periphery and provided externally opposed to a drum device. CONSTITUTION:A tapelike recording medium 12 is wound obliquely to a longitudinal direction on a drum device 13 for placing a recording or reproducing head, and transported along the drum surface 13A of the device 13 to record or reproduce information on the medium 12. Here, a guide member 21 having a circular-arc-shaped inner periphery 21A of a circular shape concentrically with the surface 13A is provided out of the device 13 to guide the transportation of the medium 12 is provided. As a result, even if a winding angle is large, feeding of the tape 12 is stabilized, and hence a recording track can be formed long obliquely to the tape 12. Thus, a recording capacity per one track of the recording track can be remarkably increased, and a system configuration can be entirely simplified.
