    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reproduce optical disks having different recording densities. SOLUTION: A first optical part 21 generates a laser beam and converges it with a prescribed numerical aperture corresponding to an optical disk 11a whose data recording density is low. A second optical part 22 converts the converged light from the first optical part 21 into the converged light having a prescribe numerical aperture corresponding to an optical disk 11b whose data recording density is high. When the optical disk 11 to be reproduced is the optical disk 11a, since the second optical part 22 is retreated from between the first optical part 21 and the optical disk 11a, the optical disk 11a is directly irradiated with the laser beam from the first optical part 21 and when the optical disk 11 is the optical disk 11b, since the second optical part 22 is inserted in between the first optical part 21 and the optical disk 11b, the optical disk 11b is irradiated with the laser beam from the second optical part 22.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To design an objective lens and front lens constituting a two-group lens by discretely evaluating the aberrations possessed by the objective lens and the front lens. SOLUTION: The two-group lens composed of the objective lens LA-1 and the front lens LB-1 already corrected to be made aberrationless with respect to a substrate having a thickness d2 is subjected to measurement of the aberration with a substrate 71 having a thickness d1 by using an interferometer 61. At this time, the generated aberrations are corrected by correcting only the curved surface of the objective lens LA-1. The two-group lens formed in such a manner is capable of recording or reproduction of the information to and from a disk having the substrate of the thickness d1 by using the objective lens LA-1 and the front lens LB-1 and is capable of recording or reproduction of the information to and from the disk 2-2 having the thickness d2 by using only the front lens LB-1.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To make the deflection of a laser beam minimum by attaching a 2nd holder so that its tilt can be adjusted to a 1st holder. CONSTITUTION:The 1st holder 5 is interposed between the 2nd holder 6 which supports a rotator prism 2 and an outside fixed housing 3, so that the tilt of the center of rotation of the prism 2 against the center of the rotation of a rotator can be adjusted in the longitudinal directions of the 1st and the 2nd holders 5 and 6. Furthermore, the housing 3 is attached to a base 1 so that its position can be freely adjusted. Therefore, the position of the center of the rotation of the prism 2 against the center of the rotation of the rotator is adjusted on the plane 1a of the base 1. Thus, the tilt of the center of the rotation and the position of the prism 2 against the center of the rotation of the rotator are easily and accurately adjusted, and the centers of the rotation of both of them are accurately and easily aligned, and the deflection of the laser beam is made minimum.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To speed up writing and/or reading-out by disposing an anamorphic prism in an optical path of the light beams from plural laser light sources to a recording medium. CONSTITUTION:The plural light beam 8 generated from the laser light source are expanded in diameter in a prescribed direction by the anamorphic prism 12. The beam shape of the plural light beams 8 can, therefore, be corrected to an approximately circular shape by disposing the anamorphic prism 12 in a prescribed direction. The light beams are thereby well condensed onto the recording medium 5. The recording density of the information signals which allow writing and/or reading-out is additionally improved in this way.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To shorten the time required for recording and to exactly record an operation reference signal in a prescribed position by providing a prescribed operation reference signal which is recorded with regard to each track linearly in parallel in the radial direction. CONSTITUTION:A CAV (constant angular velocity) system is adopted and by providing a track in a shape of a concentric circle, an operation reference signal can be provided in parallel in the radial direction and by moving a recording head 7 relatively in the radial direction, the operation reference signal is recorded. As the result, a ratio in which the optical head 7 scans an unrecorded area becomes small and the recording time can be shortened. Also, the accuracy of a recording position of the operation reference signal becomes high since the signal is aligned in good order in the radial direction and various operations such as a search operation, etc., can be executed satisfactorily.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To remove a DC offset component by sampling and holding a tracking error signals outputted from a photodetector separately as the signal of a pit part of an optical disk and the signal of a land part, and supplying those sample holding outputs to an operational amplifier. CONSTITUTION:This system has the photodetecting element 6 on which a spot of reflected light from the optical disk is formed, a subtracting circuit 7 which detects a tracking signal, and an adding circuit 8 which outputs the sum of detection signals of photodetection surfaces A and B. The 1st sample and hold circuit 9 samples a tracking error signal when a pit is irradiated with a light beam and the 2nd sample and hold circuit 10 samples a signal when a gap between pits, i.e. land part is irradiated with the light beam. Signals obtained by the 1st and the 2nd sample and hold circuits 9 and 10 are inputted to the differential amplifier circuit 11 to cancel the DC offset component, and then the differential amplifier circuit 11 outputs only the tracking error signal.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize improvement in the S/N of a track error signal even in a next generation optical disk apparatus with the trend moving toward decreasingly smaller error signal strength. SOLUTION: The optical disk apparatus disclosed herein is configured to include: a 4-division light receiving element for detecting a reflected light of a major beam; and two N-division light receiving elements each for detecting a reflected light of a sub beam, the 4-division light receiving element and the N-division light receiving elements sampling a light receiving signal when a light collection spot scans information pits to generate a track control error signal. Further, an optical disk 11 forms the depth of the information pits within a range from λ/8n to λ/4n (λ is a light source wavelength and n is a refractive index of a light transmission protection layer of the optical disk) so that a reproduction signal of the information pits and the track control error signal by the differential push-pull method can both be detectable.
