Abstract:
A head position controlling device in which the head position may be controlled accurately even with a magneto-optical disc (3) having regions with different reflectance values. A gap sensor consisting of a light emitting element (5) and light receiving elements (6) and (7) are arrayed along the track direction of a magneto-optical disc (3) to prevent unequilibrium in the volume of received light at the light receiving elements (6) und (7).

Thus, it becomes possible to correct the azimuth error of the projected image a sub-track of the optical type record card onto the line sensor smoothly, highly precisely and rapidly by the rotation of the cylindrical lens.
Abstract:
An optic system with at least one optic path modifying element, e.g. a prism, has at least one layer of low refractive index with a thickness of at least a quarter wavelength. The layers can include antireflection coatings and can comprise a multilayer structure laminated to the inlet/outlet faces of the optic elements. The combined effect of the layers is to provide a total layer of low refractive index.
Abstract:
An optical pickup and an optical recording medium reproducing apparatus smaller and more reliable than conventional optical pickups and optical recording medium reproducing apparatuses. These are provided with a one-dimensional metal grid which is formed so that the ratio h/d that the pitch "d" and the thickness of metal conductors "h" constituting the wire grid is about 0.1 or more, and also a group of light receiving units which receive light beams split by the one-dimensional metal grid.

Abstract:
An optical pickup apparatus has a laser beam source (11), a polarized beam splitter (14) and an objective lens (13), all being aligned with an optical axis (0-0'). The beam emitted from the laser beam source (11) is projected onto a recording surface (1a) of a magneto-optical recording medium (1) as a focused beam, and a predetermined polarization component included in reflected light from the recording surface (1a) of the magneto-optical recording medium (1) is separated with the polarized beam splitter (14) and picked up. In the optical pickup apparatus, between the polarized beam splitter (14) and the objective lens (13), provided is a phase varying means by which the phase of the beam passed through one side of the optical axis (0-0') is made different from the phase of the beam passed through the other side of the optical axis (0-0') by a predetermined angle. As the phase shifting means, a half-wave plate (15), a prism (39) of a retardation type, or a composite optically active plate (52) can be used. On the side orthogonal to the phase varying means (14), further provided is a beam sensing element for sensing light polarized by the polarized beam splitter.
