Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform recording and reproducing by using the same optical system, and at the same time, to make a constitution compact by performing the scanning of a laser beam spot, which is focus=controlled by using an electromagnetic driving control means. CONSTITUTION:The scanning mechanism of a recording reproducing head is constituted by placing a coil 33, fixed at the side part of the recording reproducing head 21, in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet 34, and a scanning operation is performed by controlling a current to the coil 33, and moving he head 21 like a pendulum, a shown by an arrow mark B, while 30, positioned on an optical axis, being made to be a fulcrum. In such a case too, the recording reproducing head 21 is supported by a rubber damper or a spring etc., so as to have a degree of freedom against a scanning direction or a tracking direction. Thus, the head can be made compact by using the optical head, similar to that for an optical disk, and at the same time, the recording and the reproducing can be performed by using the same optical system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an optical card recording and reproducing method for recording and reproducing information in an optical card snake-like manner using the same optical head.

Conventionally, in such optical information recording cards, dust,
A transparent protective layer is provided on its surface to protect against scratches. However, due to the form of the card, the protective layer of an optical card is thinner than that of an optical disk, and due to material and physical deformation, this layer exhibits optical anisotropy, that is, birefringence. Many people have it. For this reason, it has not been possible to use an optical head similar to that used in optical disks when recording and reproducing information on optical cards. This point will be explained with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a reproducing method using an optical head for an optical disk. In the figure, 1 is a laser light source, 2 is a laser beam, 3 is a polarizing beam splitter, 4 is a quarter-wave plate, 5 is a card, and 6 is reflected light, and 7 is a sensor.

In the figure, if the laser beam 2 from the laser light source 1 is linearly polarized light as shown in A in the figure, it passes through the beam splinter 3 and 1/4 wavelength plate 4 and becomes circularly polarized light as shown in B. 5, the reflected beam 6 becomes circularly polarized light C in the opposite direction to B, and passes through the quarter-wave plate 4 to obtain polarized light D in the direction perpendicular to the polarized light A. This is transmitted to the sensor via the beam splinter 3. Detected at 7. In this case, if the card 5 has birefringence, the reflected beam 6 will not be circularly polarized but will be elliptically polarized, and the beam that has passed through the quarter-wave plate 4 will have an A component and a D component. . If this birefringence differs from place to place, the intensity of the polarized light component will change even when no signal is recorded, and the sensor 7 will detect it as though a signal was being recorded. . Further, the signal of the A component returns to the laser light source l via the beam splitter 3, making the oscillation unstable.

Therefore, in order to avoid such birefringence problems,

Further, the apparatus using the finite imaging system shown in FIG. 5 is for reading only, and recording cannot be performed using the same optical system.
