Abstract:
A laser diode (41) applies a laser beam through a grating (42), a beam splitter (43), and an objective (44) to a compact disc. A laser beam reflected by the compact disc is applied through the objective and the beam splitter to a photodiode (61). The objective (44) has a large numerical aperture of 0.6 in order to be able to playback a digital video disc (20) that has a thin substrate and contains information recorded at a high density. To prevent the photodiode (61) from suffering aberrations caused due to the large numerical aperture of the objective, the photodiode has a relatively small photodetector unit (61-1) having a normalized detector size ranging from 3 mu m to 16 mu m, for detecting only returning light up to a numerical aperture of 0.3 and not detecting light of greater numerical aperture values.
Abstract:
An optical pickup includes a light source (21) for radiating a light beam, a diffraction element (22) for separating a light beam radiated from the light source into at least three beams, namely a main beam and two side beams, an objective lens (25) for converging the light beams separated by the diffraction element onto a signal recording surface of an optical recording medium (11), a light receiving unit (24) having a four-segment first light receiving portion (71) for receiving the main beam reflected by the recording surface of the optical recording medium and second and third light receiving portions (72, 73) arranged on respective sides of the first light receiving portion (71) for receiving the side beams reflected by the recording surface of the optical recording medium, and a calculation unit (26) for generating one tracking signal based on respective outputs of the first light receiving portion and for generating another tracking signal based on outputs of the second and third light receiving portions. In preferred emodiments of the apparatus, a disc discrimination unit sends a detection output of the optical disc both to the changeover switch selecting the desired tracking error signal and to an aperture ratio variable control unit.
