    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 µm to 16 µm, for detecting only returning light up to a numerical aperture of 0.3 and not detecting light of greater numerical aperture values.

    Abstract: There is disclosed a method of playing back information from an optical multilayer disk having a plurality of recording disks stacked on top of each other, by the use of an optical pickup device. In order to switch the focused recording layer from a first one to a second one so that data is read from the second recording layer, the focus balanced condition of the pickup device is switched from a setting (Ra) providing a focus error characteristic adapted for the first recording layer to a reference setting (Rb) providing a neutral focus error characteristic. Then, the focal point of the pickup device is moved from the first recording layer. Subsequently, the pickup device is focused onto the second recording layer, and data is read from the second recording layer. Thereafter, the focus balanced condition of the pickup device is switched to a setting (Rc) adapted to the second recording layer.

    Abstract: Disk producing apparatus comprises: a disk driving unit (2, 3) for rotating a disk (4); a pickup (5) having a first guide portion (8, 9) provided on one side portion and a guide face (10) provided on the other side portion; a base member (1) having a guide member (11) for receiving the guide face (10), the guide member (11) having a length shorter than the sliding distance of the pickup (5) in the guiding direction; a driving unit (13, 14, 15, 16) for driving the pickup (5) in the radial direction of the disk (4); and a signal processing unit for applying a specified processing to a signal reproduced from the pickup (5). Preferably, the first guide portion comprises: a guide shaft (8) supported on the base; and a guide bearing (9, 9) provided on the one side portion of the pickup (5) in such a manner as to be slidably inserted around the guide shaft (8). Such apparatus can be capable of improving the feeding accuracy of the pickup (5), reducing the cost of a feeding portion of the pickup (5), and realizing a small-sized skew adjustment mechanism at low cost.

    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.
