PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the total size and thickness of an optical disk device and to improve the reliability of the disk device for reproducing the information. SOLUTION: This device includes a self-oscillation type laser diode 11 which emits a laser beam, an objective lens 12 which condenses the laser beam emitted from the diode 11 on a recording surface 17 of a magneto-optical disk 2 and a signal processing circuit 7 which detects the jitter value of signals reproduced from the disk 2. When the return light of the laser beam emitted from the diode 11 produces the noises due to the change of its operating environment and then the jitter value detected by the circuit 7 is increased, the output of the laser light emitted from the diode 11 is increased compared with the standard set value according to the jitter value in order to suppress the noises.

PURPOSE:To realize an optimum delay characteristic without being affected with external noise by constituting a matching circuit comprising a glass delay element of a resistor, a capacitor and an active transistor(TR), and varying an emitter resistance with an external signal. CONSTITUTION:An impedance when viewing from the output of an input control circuit is supplied as a function of R1, R2, C11, where R1, R2 are resistance between emitters of differential pair transistors(TRs) Q1, Q2, and Q3, Q4.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and exactly control the quantity of a light beam by making a distance between apertures, in one direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the light beam, mutually conjugate with a first and a second apertures through a light beam branching means. SOLUTION: In this optical pickup device, an aperture A1 prescribing the diameter of a light beam made incident on an objective lens 11 shown by an arrow A1 in the figure is mutually and substantially conjugate with a second aperture A2 prescribing the diameter of a light beam made incident on the light receiving surface of a light output detector 6 shown by an arrow A2 in the figure through a slope part 27. Consequently, by controlling a light emitting output in a semiconductor laser chip 1 based on the detected light output outputted from the light output detector 6, the quantity of a light beam projected on the signal recording surface of an optical disk 101 is easily and exactly controlled.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To obtain an optical disk apparatus by which a focus error can be detected precisely by means of an optical system of a simple constitution. CONSTITUTION: Outputs of respective photodetectors C6, C7, C8, C9 which are arranged and installed on a light-receiving face become identical when an information recording face on an optical disk is situated in an anastigmatic average image point position, and they differ in the respective photodetectors which are formed as prescribed sets when the information recording face on the optical disk is deviated to a deviation direction from the anastigmatic average image point position. A focus error signal is generated on the basis of the outputs of the respective photodetectors C6, C7, C8, C9, and the focus position of the information recording face on the optical disk is controlled in such a way that the outputs of the respective photodetectors become identical. Thereby, a focus can be detected without installing a new optical system for focus-error detection. Then, it is possible to realize an optical disk apparatus by which a focus error can be detected with good accuracy by an optical system of a simple constitution.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To provide selectivity to a video picture by varying a quantity of subtracting a chroma signal component superimposed onto a luminance signal with an external coefficient signal when the luminance signal is separated from a composite color video signal. CONSTITUTION:A coefficient arithmetic circuit 4 obtains an envelope level Cd of a chroma signal by using a diode D so as to detect the chroma signal. The conversion level B.Cd is set to 1.0 when a color bar max is 1.0 and an envelope level Cd is converted with the conversion characteristic having an offset level and a saturation characteristic and the value B.Cd is calculated and the result is multiplied by K (K=0-1) with a coefficient signal inputted from an external TK. As a result, a coefficient of (K.B.Cd) is inputted to a multiplier 5 from the coefficient arithmetic circuit 4 and converted into a multiple of CX(K.B.Cd) when the level of the chroma signal component is C and the result is fed to a subtraction circuit 6. Thus, the coefficient signal is adjusted and independency is provided to a separated luminance signal.

SOLUTION: The optical pickup is provided with: a laser diode 42A which outputs an optical beam; a collimator lens 44 which is provided on the optical path of the optical beam outputted from the laser diode 42A and converts the optical beam to parallel light; and a predetermined-thickness DBSP 45 which comprises a wave length selection film 45A and a reflection prevention film 45B provided in parallel to the wave length selection film 45A, spectrally separates the parallel light by the wave length selection film 45A, irradiates an optical disk 100 with the parallel light by a predetermined rate, and guides the residual parallel light to an FPD 46 for power control. By moving the position of the collimator lens 44 on the optical path, the parallel light is guided to the DBSP 45 while converted to a micro-diverging light or micro-convergent light.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the interruption of a focus servo operation or a tracking servo operation by preventing the operation of servo sampling in a shortest space zone during an unstable photodetection output immediately after switching from a reproducing mode to a recording mode. SOLUTION: The generation of a sampling pulse is performed based on an EFM signal corresponding to a signal recorded by an optical recording medium. A sampling signal is generated in such a manner that when the EFM signal is inputted to a sampling pulse generation circuit, the sampling pulse is set to an H level after the passage of a first delay time Dt1 from its falling and it is set to an L level when a time until the rising of a next EFM signal reaches a second delay time Dt2. The first and second delay times are lengthened to be properly set by replace third and fourth delay times Dt1' and Dt2', and thereby a shortest zone length is set among space zones where the sampling signal is set to the H level.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To read an information signal from an optical recording medium with excellent sensitivity by selectively setting a gain of a current/voltage amplifier for a signal reading photodetector according to an output of an optical output detector with a control circuit. SOLUTION: Luminous flux outgoing from a semiconductor laser chip 1 is made incident on a slope 8 of a prism 7. The slope 8 reflects the majority of the incident luminous flux, and deflects them in the direction perpendicular to a surface part of a semiconductor substrate 3 to converge them on a signal recording layer 102, or 104 of an optical disk 101, or a magneto-optical disk 103 through an objective lens 11. Further, the slope 8 makes transmit the remainder of the luminous flux incident from the laser chip 1 through to lead them to the light receiving part of the optical output detector 6F. The detector 6F monitors the light emission output of the laser chip 1 to control it.
