Description

Optical-head apparatus
The present invention relates to be assembled into the optical-head apparatus of optical disc apparatus etc.In more detail, the present invention relates to light beam that a light source is come with the bifocus optical-head apparatus of an object lens focusing in two places.
As digital recording medium CD and DVD (digital video disk), with in thickness and the optical disc apparatus that different multiple CDs such as recording density are reset, for the various CDs of resetting, being necessary must be corresponding with each CD with the conversion such as size of the focal position of laser and luminous point.For this reason in the existing optical-head apparatus that uses, for example special public clear 54-19329 number and spy of Jap.P. opens shown in flat 5-303766 number, and the optical element that is used for revising the aberration that produces when the object lens of being used by a kind of optical disk data reproducing are reset another kind of CD can be put into the light path of the optical system from the light source to the CD or take out.
And, there is a kind of optical-head apparatus that can replace the different object lens of two focuses of installation also to come out.The corresponding CD of resetting of this optical-head apparatus is replaced and is used each object lens.
Also develop on the surface of light source one side of object lens the optical-head apparatus that focuses on the locational holographic lens (hologram) different with the focal position of object lens is set.Develop the optical disc apparatus that has the holographic element plate that makes the function that the light beam through object lens focuses on the position different with the focal position of these object lens nearby setting of light source one side of object lens again.In these optical-head apparatus, focused on respectively by the diffraction light of holographic lens diffraction and not diffracted non-diffracted light, on same optical axis, form two focuses.Thereby, each beams focusing position is positioned on the record surface of CD of corresponding kind, just can reset to this CD.
But, the optical-head apparatus that the optical element that the aberration correction is used in the light path of optical system can be put into, take out, except the original necessary MIN optical element of optical-head apparatus, the mechanism that optical element must be set and this optical element is put into, taken out also.And, on objective lens support, there is the optical-head apparatus of two object lens that the replacement mechanism of the 2nd object lens and each object lens must be set.Moreover the optical-head apparatus that nearby sets the holographic element plate at object lens is necessary to set the holographic element plate.Therefore, the number of parts of these optical-head apparatus has increased, thereby causes the manufacturing expense of optical-head apparatus to increase and maximization.And the putting into of optical element, withdrawing device and object lens alternative also have the unsettled situation of action.
And owing to must carry out position adjustment and optical axis adjustment to optical element and the 2nd object lens, the holographic element plate that the aberration correction that increases newly is used, it is miscellaneous that assembly working becomes.Therefore, manufacturing cost increases more, assembles, adjusts time taking problem simultaneously in addition.
On the other hand, under the situation of the whole formation of objective lens surface holographic lens,, there are problems such as difficult processing, precision are not high because the surface curvature of light source one side of object lens is big.
And nearby setting in the optical-head apparatus of holographic element plate of object lens, the light beam of CD reflection sees through holographic lens once again.Therefore, beam reflected a part of diffracted left light path, can not inject photo detector.Therefore produced the low problem of light beam utilization ratio.
The object of the present invention is to provide easy processing, easily obtain high precision, again do not increase manufacturing expense, can not cause device to maximize, and do not need to assemble especially the bifocus optical-head apparatus of formality.
Purpose of the present invention is to provide the utilization ratio that does not reduce light beam again, and processes, obtains easily high-precision bifocus optical-head apparatus easily.
Optical-head apparatus of the present invention, possess: object lens, light source, surface configuration for than described object lens towards the optical element on the surperficial mild curved surface of light source one side or plane and be formed at this optical element surface, section is jagged a plurality of concentric circles grid, has the holographic lens (hologram) of the function that makes the light beam focusing that sees through described object lens on the position different with the focal position of described object lens.

Embodiment shown in reference to the accompanying drawings is elaborated to structure of the present invention below.
The 1st embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, the optical-head apparatus 1 of the present invention the 1st embodiment possesses: object lens 2, the light source 3 and other optical elements 5,41 that are made of for example laser diode.Collimation lens 5 is that surface configuration is the optical element than the surperficial mild curved surface of object lens 2.Holographic lens 41 has the light beam that makes through these object lens 2 and focuses on the different position F of position F with the focus of object lens 2 -On function.This holographic lens 41 is formed at the surface of collimation lens 5 towards light source 3 one sides.
In the present embodiment, the optical element beyond object lens 2 and the light source 3 has: be disposed at collimation lens 5 between object lens 2 and the light source 3, be arranged at these collimation lens 5 surfaces holographic lens 41, be disposed at the semi-transparent semi-reflecting lens that between light source 3 and the collimation lens 5, not shown, receive photo detector this semi-transparent semi-reflecting lens beam reflected, not shown.Also it doesn't matter between collimation lens 5 and the object lens 2 and even semi-transparent semi-reflecting lens is configured in.Also have, light source 3 uses laser diode, but is not limited to this, also can use other light-emitting components.
The shape of collimation lens 5 is taked, and does than the little shape of surface curvature towards object lens 2 one sides towards the surface curvature of light source 3 one sides.Surface configuration towards light source 3 one sides is that the plane is also passable.The holographic lens 41 that has the concavees lens function on the surface of these light source 3 one sides is made with collimation lens 5 monolithic moldings.These collimation lens 5 usefulness are being shaped with casting mold of plastics or glass etc. for example.Here, holographic lens 41 is formed on the little curved surface of curvature, so the metal die that casting mold is used manufactures high precision easily.Also have, holographic lens 41 can be not and collimation lens 5 monolithic moldings yet.For example, after making collimation lens 5 with glass etc., stick the holographic lens 41 that plastics make on the surface of this collimation lens 5 good.
Holographic lens 41 is shown in Fig. 2 (a), possessing section is jagged a plurality of concentric circles grid 41a, and the structure of each grid 41a is that each outer peripheral face forms the periphery 41b that is parallel to optical axis S, simultaneously, inner peripheral surface forms the center precipitous more ring-type dip plane 41c far away more that leaves holographic lens 41.By means of such structure, holographic lens 41 possesses the function of concavees lens, by the light beam of holographic lens 41 diffraction+1 order diffraction light and-1 order diffraction light in, can only make on one side and disperse-1 order diffraction light generation of injecting object lens 2.That is, through the light beam of holographic lens 41, under diffracted situation, become the diffusion of-1 order diffraction light, under not diffracted situation, become 0 grade of light and intactly pass through.Therefore, can suppress not+1 grade of light generation, improve the utilization ratio of light beam.
Again, each grid of holographic lens 41 is the more little periodic modulation type of central portion grid cycle that leaves collimation lens 5 more, therefore, can make by the light beam of holographic lens 41 diffraction CD 6,6 ' record surface on aberration reduce.Can also change the angle of beam spread by means of the average grid cycle of change holographic lens 41.Therefore ,-1 order diffraction light is changed by the position that object lens 2 focus on.And the height of grid of change holographic lens 41 just can change the balance of the light quantity of-1 order diffraction light and not diffracted 0 grade of light.
The light beam that light source 3 produces sees through the not shown half-reflecting half mirror that goes out, and becomes parallel beam by collimation lens 5 flexions.Here, see through in the light beam of holographic lens 41,0 grade of light also becomes parallel beam.This parallel beam is injected object lens 2, through optically focused, focuses at the position F of the focus of these object lens 2.Meanwhile, the part of the light beam of light source 3 generations becomes-1 order diffraction light by holographic lens 41 diffraction.Should-1 order diffraction light since collimation lens 5 acted as the light beam that spreads apart some than directional light.This light beam is assembled through object lens 2, at the position F than the focal position F predetermined distance only far away of object lens 2 -Focus on.
With 1 pair of CD 6 of described optical-head apparatus, 6 ' playback time, to the CD 6,6 reset ' thickness detect after, make optical-head apparatus 1 near CD 6,6 '.Focusing position F at the light beam of holographic lens 41 diffraction -When being positioned at record surface, measure the 1st focusing.Here, if CD 6 ' be thick, optical-head apparatus 1 just stops to move, Here it is can the reset state of phonotape and videotape.If CD approaches, just make optical-head apparatus 1 further near CD 6.And when being in record surface, measure the 2nd focusing without the focal position F of the lens 2 of the light beam of holographic lens 41 diffraction focusing.Here, the mobile of optical-head apparatus 1 stops, Here it is can reset the phonotape and videotape state.
With the optical-head apparatus 1 of present embodiment, when being installed in the optical disc apparatus of can reset for example CD and DVD, the result is as follows.CD thickness is 1.2 millimeters, and the wavelength of light source is 780 millimicrons, and object lens NA (numerical aperture) is 0.45.DVD thickness is 0.6 millimeter, and the wavelength of light source is 650 millimicrons, and object lens NA is 0.60.Here, if in order to be used for DVD, be about 650 millimicrons with the wavelength set of the light source 3 of present embodiment, then when carrying out the reading of CD,, object lens NA can be shortened to 0.38 corresponding to the short partially amount of wavelength.Therefore, needn't go up in the whole effective aperture of collimation lens 5 (the light beam scope of solid line among the figure) and form holographic lens 41, and near scope formation holographic lens only central authorities, that be equivalent to NA=0.38 gets final product.And, then change size with respect to the holographic lens 41 of the effective aperture of collimation lens 5 according to the NA value for the playback of other kind CDs.For example, the playback for the CD of NA that need be bigger than DVD also has the situation that forms holographic lens 41 on the whole effective aperture of collimation lens 5.
Adopt present embodiment, the light beam flexion of diffusion to become on the collimation lens 5 of parallel beam holographic lens 41 is set, therefore, do not dispose the optical element of the such function of having only holographic lens of holographic element plate.So can reduce number of parts, also reduce manufacturing expense.And, by means of the position of adjusting collimation lens 5, can adjust the position of holographic lens 41 simultaneously.Therefore, work is adjusted in the position that does not need to carry out holographic lens 41, and the assembling of optical-head apparatus 1 can be carried out rapidly.
The foregoing description is one of most preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the invention is not restricted to this, but the possibility that in the scope that does not exceed main idea of the present invention, has various distortion to implement.For example, holographic lens 41 is made the holographic lens with convex lens function, or make not only have the concavees lens function but also have a holographic lens of convex lens function good.Also holographic lens 41 can be arranged on collimation lens 5 optical element in addition.The following describes the shape of change holographic lens 41 and other embodiment that the installation site obtains.But, be not limited to these embodiment certainly.Also have, in the explanation of embodiment below, the parts with identical functions use identical symbol, omit its detailed description.

Even the optical-head apparatus 1 of above-mentioned the 8th~the 10th embodiment because CD 6 beam reflected do not see through holographic lens 41 (42,43), does not produce unnecessary diffraction.Therefore, in the light beam that light source 3 produces, the light quantity that arrives the light beam of photo detector 13 increases, thereby can improve the utilization ratio of light beam.
Can know from above-mentioned explanation and to recognize, adopt optical-head apparatus of the present invention, because this optical-head apparatus is provided with holographic lens on the optical element of necessity, the such optical element that only has hologram functional of holographic element plate needn't be set in addition, can reduce this a part of number of parts, reduce manufacturing expense.Because will being set, the surface configuration of the optical element of holographic lens makes plane or the surface relatively mild curved surface bigger again than the curvature towards light source one side of object lens, compare with the situation towards the surface of light source one side that is formed at object lens, the shape of holographic lens becomes simply, processing easily.For example, the metal die with optical element and the whole die casting shaping of holographic lens reaches high precision easily.Therefore can reduce the manufacturing expense of metal die, the manufacturing expense of optical-head apparatus also can reduce.Can improve the precision of the holographic lens of formation again.
Also have, when adjustment is provided with the position of optical element of holographic lens, the inherent function of this optical element is adjusted, also obtain adjusting with regard to the function that makes holographic lens.Therefore, unnecessary position to holographic lens is adjusted, and the assembly working of optical-head apparatus can be faster.
Because holographic lens is arranged on the optical element that disposes between beam splitter and the light source, the light beam of CD reflection does not see through holographic lens and injects photo detector again.Therefore, reflected beams is not subjected to the diffraction of holographic lens, and the light quantity that arrives the light beam of photo detector in the light beam that light source produces increases, thereby can improve the utilization factor of light beam.
