Abstract

PURPOSE:To excellently remove a spherical aberration generated owing to variation in the thickness of an optical disk by interposing a parallel flat plate medium (compensation plate) between a light source and a light convergence optical system. CONSTITUTION:The compensation plate 1 is provided between the light source 5 and the light convergence optical system consisting of a collimator lens 2 and an objective 3. The compensation plate 1 consists of a movable piece 1A and a fixed piece 1B. The luminous flux from the light source 5 after being passed through the compensation plate 1 is reflected by a half-mirror 6 and converged on the optical disk 4 by the collimator lens 2 and objective 3. The reflected light from the optical disk 4 is transmitted through the half-mirror 6 and reaches a photodetecting element 7. For example, when the cover glass of the optical disk 4 becomes thin, the movable piece 1A of the compensation plate 1 is moved as shown by an arrow to reduce the thickness. Consequently, a positive spherical aberration which is generated as a result cancels a negative spherical aberration which is generated owing to the reduction of the thickness of the cover glass of the optical disk 4.

2. Description of the Related Art In an optical disk device, a light flux diverging from a light source such as a laser is focused on an information recording medium (hereinafter, simply referred to as an optical disk) to record and read information. In that case, a high-performance optical system having a condensing performance that is about the diffraction limit is required.

Recently, increasing the density of optical disks has become one of the important issues in development. In order to realize a high density, it is necessary to focus the light flux from a light source such as a laser into a smaller spot, and many methods have been studied for realizing it. Among them, there is a method of using a lens having a large numerical aperture to collect light to a spot diameter smaller than the conventional one. However, when the numerical aperture of the lens increases, coma tends to occur due to the warp or tilt of the optical disc. In this case, it is advantageous that the cover glass of the optical disc has a small thickness because the occurrence of coma can be reduced.

At present, the thickness of the cover glass of an optical disk such as a CD player is 1.2 mm, but the cover glass of the optical disk has a thickness of 1.2 m for high density recording.
Consider the case where it is thinner than m. At this time, when an optical head corresponding to a cover glass thickness of 1.2 mm and a thin cover glass optical disk for high density recording are used, negative spherical aberration occurs and sufficient condensing performance cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when an optical head with a cover glass thickness of 1.2 mm is used with an optical head compatible with a thin cover glass optical disk, positive spherical aberration occurs and it is not possible to obtain sufficient focusing performance. . In other words, in the condensing optical system for optical heads that has been proposed so far, if the thickness of the optical disc cover glass is changed, the compatibility of optical discs will be impaired.

As a method of correcting the spherical aberration that occurs when the cover glass of the optical disc becomes thin, a parallel plate medium is inserted between the objective lens and the optical disc to determine the optical path from the objective lens to the image point.

However, during the operation of the optical disc, the objective lens is moving for obtaining the optimum focus and tracking, and the optical disc is also rotating at a high speed. It is difficult to insert a parallel plate medium, and because inserting a parallel plate medium between the objective lens and the optical disc makes it impossible to secure a sufficient working distance. It is hard to say that the aberration correction method of inserting a parallel plate medium is an effective method. Further, preparing a plurality of heads according to the thickness of the optical disk is one of the solutions, but the apparatus becomes complicated.

According to the present invention, negative spherical aberration occurs when the thickness of the cover glass of the optical disc becomes thin. In this case, positive spherical aberration produced by increasing the thickness of the correction plate is obtained, This can cancel the negative spherical aberration caused by the thin cover glass of the optical disc. On the contrary, when the cover glass thickness of the optical disk becomes thick, positive spherical aberration occurs, but in this case, the negative spherical aberration generated by making the thickness of the correction plate thin is obtained, and this It is possible to cancel the positive spherical aberration generated due to the increased thickness of the optical disc. By doing so, it becomes possible to correct the spherical aberration of the optical disc caused by the change in the thickness of the cover glass of the optical disc.

However, the collimating lens and the objective lens are integrated to form a lens system, and a single lens is used to emit a laser beam. It goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained when a so-called integrated pickup that receives divergent light and focuses it on an optical disk, or when a reflection optical system such as a mirror is used as a means for focusing laser light.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram of an optical head using the spherical aberration correcting method according to the present invention. The light beam from the light source 5 is reflected by the half mirror 6 after passing through the correction plate 1 illustrated in FIG. , Collimator lens 2, and objective lens 3
Thus, the light is focused on the optical disc 4. The reflected light from the optical disc 4 passes through the objective lens 3 and the collimator lens 2,
After passing through the half mirror 6, it reaches the light receiving element 7, and the information on the optical disk 4 is read by the light receiving element 7. In FIG. 9, the solid line shows the case where the cover glass thickness of the optical disc 4 is thick, and the broken line shows the case where the cover glass thickness of the optical disc 4 is thin. When the cover glass of the optical disk becomes thin, the correction plate 1 is moved in the direction of the arrow so that the thickness of the correction plate 1 becomes optimum, and the thickness is adjusted to adjust the position of the light source 5 and the light receiving element 7. It may be moved so that the position is optimal. By using the optical head having such a structure, it is possible to accurately record and reproduce information even if the thickness of the cover glass of the optical disc changes.

As described above, according to the present invention, the spherical aberration generated when the cover glass thickness of the optical disk changes can be corrected by the correction plate. In addition, setting the insertion position of the correction plate between the light source and the condensing optical system does not change the objective lens side, so that it does not burden the actuator of the objective lens and collimator. Since the lens is fixed, it can be easily inserted and is advantageous in processing. By making an optical head by using this spherical aberration correction method, it becomes possible to realize an optical disk device that is compatible with changes in the cover glass thickness of the optical disk.
