Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the adjustment of focal distance unnecessary and to improve the sensitivity of focus detection by projecting reflected light from the disk of an optical disk device to a spherical lens and providing a focus detector at exit position of the spherical lens. CONSTITUTION:Reflected light from the disk 1 of the optical disk device is deflected by a deflecting mirror 3 through a diaphragm lens 2, divided by a mirror 4, and one is led to a groove detector 5 and another is projected to a focus detector 7 through a spherical lens 6. When the disk 1 and lens 2 are just focused, light coming out from the lens 2 becomes parallel light, and projected to the spherical lens 6 and focused on the surface of the spherical lens 6. The focus detector 7 is placed at the position of focus of the spherical lens 6. Thus, adjustment of focal distance of the spherical lens 6 becomes unnecessary, and high focus detection sensitivity is obtained.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in the explanatory diagram of the embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a disk of an optical disk device, and the reflected light from the disk 1 is converted into parallel light by an aperture lens 2 if the focus is just right. The reflected light changes direction with the direction conversion mirror 3,
The amount of light is divided into two by the mirror 4, and is incident on the focus detection device and the groove detection device. The tab is divided into two parts, one of which is guided to the groove detection detector 5 side, and the other part is guided to the focus detection detector 7. At that time, the light is made to enter through the spherical lens 6. If the disk 1 and the aperture lens 2 are in just focus, the light emitted from the aperture lens 2 becomes parallel light and enters the spherical lens 6. Then, the spherical lens 6
Becomes focused on the surface. Since the focus detector 7 is set at the focal position, which is the exit position of the spherical lens 6, there is no need to adjust the focal length of the spherical lens 6, and a focus detection device with high focus detection sensitivity is realized. be able to.
