Description

【0001】
【従来の技術】
従来の光ピックアップ装置の調整方法を図2を参照して説明する。図2(a)において、光ピックアップ11に固定されている光源12から出射したレーザー光(図中の破線で示している)は、拡散状態でコリメートレンズ13に入射し、平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束になり、アクチュエータ14に固定されている対物レンズ15で集光される。調整時には、集光されたレーザー光をTVカメラ16で受けてレーザー光量を電気信号に変換し、画像処理装置17で演算した後、モニタ18に表示される。
【0002】
モニタ18には、レーザー光の光量分布を光軸方向から見た光量分布平面画像19とその光量分布の中心22と、光量分布平面画像をX方向から見た断面を示す光量分布X軸断面曲線20と、光量分布平面画像をY方向から見た断面を示す光量分布Y軸断面曲線21が表示され、光量分布に対する対物レンズ15の位置を検出できる構成となっている。
【0003】
図2(b)に示すように、対物レンズ15を固定しているアクチュエータ14が左側に寄っていた場合、モニタ18に表示される光量分布平面図19には光量分布の中心22が基準円の中心より右側に寄って表示されることとなる。この状態からアクチュエータ14を矢印に示す右方向に調整して、光量分布平面画像19が、図2(a)に示すように、基準円の中心に合致した状態にする方法を用いていた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、対物レンズ15を透過したレーザー光の光量分布を検出する方法において、実際の光源12の発光分布は円形状でなく、また光源12の個体差により分布状態が異なるため、光量分布中心の演算後の位置がばらつき、それによる調整ばらつきが生じるという問題がある。
【0005】
また、光量分布及び光量分布の中心を画像情報から演算する時間が必要なため、リアルタイムな測定ができないという問題もある。
【0006】
本発明は、上記従来の問題点に鑑み、光量分布状態のばらつきの影響を抑制でき、リアルタイムで測定調整ができる光ピックアップ装置の調整方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の光ピックアップ装置の調整方法は、光ピックアップ装置における対物レンズ位置の調整方法であって、対物レンズから出射したレーザ光を凸レンズで受けて平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束に変更し、その光束の位置に基づいて調整するものであり、光束の位置に基づいて対物レンズの位置を調整するので光量分布状態のばらつきの影響を抑制でき、かつ光量分布やその中心位置を演算する必要がないのでリアルタイムで測定調整をすることができる。
【0008】
また、凸レンズのNA値を、光ピックアップ装置に搭載している対物レンズのNA値以下にすると、凸レンズによる解像力の低下を防止できて好適である。
【0009】
また、凸レンズで平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束を投影板上に投影し、投影位置にて対物レンズの位置を検出すると、投影板上の位置で容易に光束の位置を検出し、対物レンズの位置を検出できる。
【0010】
また、平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束を、投影板上に表示されている基準位置に合うように対物レンズの位置調整を行うと、対物レンズの位置調整を容易かつ効率的に行うことができる。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の光ピックアップ装置の調整方法の一実施形態について、図1を参照して説明する。
【0012】
図1(a)において、光ピックアップ装置1に固定されている光源2から出射したレーザー光(図中の破線で示している)は、拡散状態でコリメートレンズ3に入射し、平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束になり、アクチュエータ4に固定されている対物レンズ5で集光される。
【0013】
この光ピックアップ装置1の対物レンズ5の位置調整に際しては、正規位置の対物レンズ5と光軸方向に対向するように凸レンズ6が配設されている構造体10に対して光ピックアップ装置1を所定の位置関係となるように設置する。7は凸レンズ6からのレーザー光の出射先に配設されて光路を変更する反射ミラー、8は反射ミラー7で光路が変更されたレーザー光が投影される投影板である。9は投影板8に表示されている基準位置であり、対物レンズ5が正規の位置に位置調整されている時、凸レンズ6からのレーザー光がこの基準位置に投影されるように配設されている。
【0014】
以上の構成において、構造体10の所定位置に光ピックアップ装置1をセットし、その光源2からレーザー光を出射すると、レーザー光はコリメートレンズ3を透過して平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束となり、さらにアクチュエータ4に取付けられた対物レンズ5にて集光され、集光されたレーザー光は凸レンズ6にて再び平行光もしくは平行に近い光束とされ、その出射先にある反射ミラー7で光路を変更して投影板8に投影される。
【0015】
投影板8に投影された光束の位置が対物レンズ5の位置を示しており、対物レンズ5の位置を調整して、投影板8に表示されている基準位置9に光束位置を合致させることにより、対物レンズ5の位置調整が完了となる。
【0016】
例えば、図1(b)に示すように、対物レンズ5を固定しているアクチュエータ4が左側に寄っていた場合、投影板8に投影される光束は、基準位置9より上方に投影されることになる。この状態からアクチュエータ4を図の矢印に示す右方向に調整し、図1(a)に示すように、光束を基準位置9に位置するように調整すれば、対物レンズ5の位置調整が完了となる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明の光ピックアップ装置の調整方法によれば、以上の説明から明らかなように、対物レンズから出射したレーザ光を凸レンズで受けて平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束に変更し、その光束の位置に基づいて対物レンズの位置を調整するので、光量分布状態のばらつきによる調整ばらつきを抑制でき、かつ光量分布やその中心位置を演算する必要がないのでリアルタイムで測定調整をすることができ、製造時間の短縮を実現できる。
【0018】
また、凸レンズのNA値を、光ピックアップ装置に搭載している対物レンズのNA値以下にすると、凸レンズによる解像力の低下を防止できる。
【0019】
また、凸レンズで平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束を投影板上に投影し、投影位置にて対物レンズの位置を検出すると、投影板上の位置で容易に光束の位置を検出し、対物レンズの位置を検出できる。
【0020】
また、平行光もしくは平行光に近い光束を、投影板上に表示されている基準位置に合うように対物レンズの位置調整を行うと、対物レンズの位置調整を容易かつ効率的に行うことができる。

[Prior art]
An adjustment method of the conventional optical pickup device will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 2A, a laser beam (indicated by a broken line in the drawing) emitted from a light source 12 fixed to an optical pickup 11 enters a collimating lens 13 in a diffused state and is converted into a parallel light or a parallel light. It becomes a near light beam and is condensed by the objective lens 15 fixed to the actuator 14.

As shown in FIG. 2B, when the actuator 14 fixing the objective lens 15 is shifted to the left, the light amount distribution plan view 19 displayed on the monitor 18 shows that the center 22 of the light amount distribution is the reference circle. It will be displayed on the right side of the center. In this state, the actuator 14 is adjusted to the right as shown by the arrow so that the light quantity distribution plane image 19 is aligned with the center of the reference circle as shown in FIG. 2A.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the method of detecting the light amount distribution of the laser light transmitted through the objective lens 15, since the actual light emission distribution of the light source 12 is not circular and the distribution state is different due to individual differences of the light sources 12, calculation of the light amount distribution center is performed. There is a problem that the subsequent position varies, which causes adjustment variation.
[0005]
In addition, there is a problem in that real-time measurement cannot be performed because it requires time to calculate the light amount distribution and the center of the light amount distribution from the image information.

The method for adjusting the optical pickup device of the present invention is a method for adjusting the position of the objective lens in the optical pickup device, in which the laser light emitted from the objective lens is received by a convex lens and changed into a parallel light or a light flux close to the parallel light. Since the adjustment is performed based on the position of the light beam, and the position of the objective lens is adjusted based on the position of the light beam, the influence of variations in the light amount distribution state can be suppressed, and there is no need to calculate the light amount distribution and its center position. Therefore, the measurement can be adjusted in real time.
