Abstract

L'invention concerne un système capteur optique fonctionnant dans l'un d'un premier mode et d'un deuxième mode commutables électriquement, en fonction du chargement d'un disque optique sur un porte-disques. Ce système capteur optique comporte un substrat possédant une surface supérieure et une surface latérale inclinée, un guide d'ondes formé sur la surface supérieure du substrat et pourvu d'une source lumineuse, un détecteur optique et une lentille de couplage, ainsi qu'un dispositif optique fixé sur la surface latérale inclinée et muni d'une première et d'une deuxième région, la première région réfléchissant une première composante à polarisation linéaire du faisceau lumineux, depuis la source lumineuse jusqu'à la lentille de couplage, et la deuxième région fonctionnant dans l'un du premier et du deuxième mode commutables électriquement, en fonction du type du disque optique. Dans le système, la lumière incidente à la deuxième région est transmise à l'extérieur du système capteur optique dans le premier mode et est réfléchie sur la lentille de couplage par la deuxième région dans le deuxième mode. La lumière réfléchie est focalisée sur le disque optique par la lentille de couplage et est réfléchie à nouveau sur cette dernière pour se déplacer en sens inverse par rapport au détecteur optique.
