Description

광픽업Optical pickup

본 발명은 광픽업에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 파장이 다른 복수의 광원으로부터의 광을 디스크에 집광하는 장치에 있어서, 복수의 빔스플리터를 모듈화하여 일체로 제작함으로써, 구성이 간소화되는 광픽업에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical pickup, and more particularly, in an apparatus for condensing light from a plurality of light sources having different wavelengths onto a disk, wherein the plurality of beamsplitters are modularized and integrally manufactured to provide an optical pickup. It is about.

일반적으로 2광원 광픽업 광학계는 1매의 평판 광분할기(flat beam splitter)와 1매의 육면 광분할기(cubic beam splitter)를 사용한다. 도 1은 종래 2광원 광픽업에 관한 것으로서, DVD(Digital video disc)용 파장이 650nm 인 레이저다이오드를 제1광원(1)으로 사용하는 광은 평판 빔스플리터(3)에서 반사되고, CD(Compact Disc)용 파장이 780nm 인 레이저다이오드를 제2광원(2)으로 사용하는 광은 육면 빔스플리터(4)의 반사면에서 반사되어져 각각 콜리메이터렌즈(5)로 입사되어져 렌즈(6)를 거쳐 광디스크(7)로 집속되어 진다. 광디스크(7)에서 집속후 반사되어진 광은 렌즈(6)와 콜리메이터렌즈(5), 평판 및 육면 빔스플리터(3)(4)에서 투과되고 센서렌즈를 거쳐 포토다이오드(8)로 집속되어진다.In general, a two-light optical pickup optical system uses one flat beam splitter and one cubic beam splitter. FIG. 1 relates to a conventional two-light source optical pickup, wherein light using a laser diode having a wavelength of 650 nm for a DVD (Digital Video Disc) as the first light source 1 is reflected by the flat panel beam splitter 3, and compact CD (Compact). Light using a laser diode having a wavelength of 780 nm as the second light source 2 is reflected at the reflecting surface of the six-sided beam splitter 4 and is incident on the collimator lens 5 to pass through the lens 6 to the optical disc ( 7) are concentrated. The light reflected by the optical disk 7 after being focused is transmitted through the lens 6, the collimator lens 5, the flat plate and the six-sided beam splitter 3, 4, and is focused on the photodiode 8 via the sensor lens.

그러나 종래의 광학계는 육면 빔스플리터의 가격이 다른 광학소자에 비해 고가이므로 시스템의 구성 비용상승의 문제가 있으며, 비축상으로 2광원을 입사시켜 광분할을 이루는 홀로그램 빔스플리터의 경우 광원의 파장 변화에 의해 광학계의 전체 광축의 흔들림이 발생한다. 보통의 레이저 다이오드의 경우 시스템의 주변온도의 변화에 대해 ± 20nm 정도의 파장가변이 발생하며 이 경우 중심설계 파장에 대해 설계되어진 비축상의 홀로그램을 사용하는 경우 보통 광학계의 출사쪽에서 0.2도 이상의 광축 틸트가 발생하며 이로인해 디스크 상에서의 광 스팟의 형상의 저하 문제외에 포토다이오드에 떨어지는 광의 위치가 파장에 따라 달라짐으로 4분할 포토다이오드를 사용하여 각 분할면에 떨어지는 광 스팟의 광량변화를 이용하여 광 디스크의 포커싱 에러를 잡지 못하게 된다. 또한 복수의 빔스플리터를 사용함으로 부품수가 증가되고 조립오차가 증가되어 제품의 신뢰성이 저하되는 등의 단점이 있다.However, in the conventional optical system, the price of the six-sided beam splitter is higher than that of other optical elements, and thus, there is a problem in the construction cost of the system. This causes shaking of the entire optical axis of the optical system. In the case of a normal laser diode, a wavelength variation of about 20 nm occurs with respect to the change of the ambient temperature of the system. In this case, when using a non-axial hologram designed for the central design wavelength, an optical axis tilt of 0.2 degrees or more is usually observed at the emission side of the optical system. In addition to the problem of deterioration of the shape of the optical spot on the disk, the position of the light falling on the photodiode depends on the wavelength. You will not catch the focusing error. In addition, the use of a plurality of beam splitters has the disadvantage of increasing the number of parts and the assembly error is increased and the reliability of the product.

본 발명은 종래의 문제점을 감안하여 개발한 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 파장이 다른 복수의 광원으로부터의 광을 디스크에 집광하는 장치에 있어서, 복수의 빔스플리터를 모듈화하여 일체로 제작함으로써, 구성이 간소화되고 조립공차가 줄어들어 제품의 신뢰성이 향상되는 광픽업을 제공함에 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention was developed in view of the conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device for condensing light from a plurality of light sources having different wavelengths onto a disk, wherein the plurality of beam splitters are modularized to be manufactured integrally. It provides an optical pickup that simplifies and reduces assembly tolerances to improve product reliability.
