Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the technical field of recording and reproducing information using an optical recording medium, and is particularly used for achieving high-density recording by increasing the numerical aperture of an objective lens for converging a laser beam. It relates to a suitable one. Background art
- the spot size d is, on the order of a wavelength close to the wavelength of the laser beam, based on Fourier imaging theory, based on this wavelength ⁇ and the numerical aperture ⁇ ⁇ of the objective lens for converging the laser beam, the following equation (1) It is known to be required by:
- the spot size is smaller, so that the recording density can be increased.
- this method uses an objective lens, as shown in Figure 1A.
- a solid imaginary lens having a spherical surface 63a and a flat surface 63b facing the objective lens 61 and the optical disk 62, respectively, between the optical disk 61 and the optical disk 62.
- SIL interposing
- the laser beam L passing through the objective lens 61 is made incident perpendicularly to the spherical surface 63 a of the SIL 63, and converges on the center of the plane 63 b
- the numerical aperture (effective numerical aperture) of the lens group composed of the object lens 61 and the SIL 63 is equal to that of the objective lens 61 itself. It is n times larger than the numerical aperture.
- the objective lens 61 passes through the objective lens 61.
- the beam L is incident on the spherical surface 6 3 a of the SIL 63 at an angle different from the perpendicular, so that it is slightly refracted by the spherical surface 6 3 a.
- the numerical aperture exceeds 1
- the distance between the solid imaginary lens and the optical disk in the optical axis direction of the laser beam is increased.
- the separation (air gap) increases, the reflectivity of the laser beam component having a numerical aperture exceeding 1 on the plane of the solid-dimension lens increases, so that the solid-dimension lens is increased.
- the intensity of the laser beam transmitted through the optical disc and irradiated on the optical disc rapidly decreases.
- this air gap goes beyond the near-field range, most of the components whose numerical aperture exceeds 1 are reflected on the plane of the solid-dimension lens. As a result, the intensity of the laser beam applied to the optical disc is significantly reduced.
- Figure 2 shows the light on the horizontal axis for each of the cases where the air gap is 0 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, and 500 nm.
- the distance from the center of the spot of the laser beam on the signal recording surface of the disc is taken, and the vertical axis is the intensity of the laser beam applied to this signal recording surface (center of the spot when the air gap is 0 nm).
- the intensity of the laser beam at the center of the spot is about 85% when the air gap is 0 nm when the air gap force is 50 nm, but the air gap is When the air gap reaches 100 nm, the air gap becomes about 60% of the case of ⁇ nm, and when the air gap reaches 200 nm, it decreases to about 35% of the case where the air gap is 0 nm. It is apparent that
- this air gap should be made sufficiently small. (In the case of the example in Fig. 2, it is within 100 nm at the maximum, preferably about 50 nm. Without control, the intensity of the laser beam applied to the signal recording surface of the optical disc Degradation of the degree will lead to deterioration of recording accuracy and reproduction accuracy.
- an optical head equipped with an objective lens and a solid immersion lens is attached to a magnetic head of a hard disk device. Similarly to the optical disk, there is a method of floating the optical disk with respect to the optical disk by the airflow accompanying rotation of the optical disk.
- the intensity of the air flow depends on the linear velocity of the optical disc.
- the irradiation position of the laser beam in the radial direction of the disc changes.
- the flying height changes.
- the flying height differs between optical disc devices with different linear velocities. Let's do it. As a result, it is difficult to control the air gap with high accuracy using this method.
- the present applicant holds the objective lens and the solid immersion lens in different holders, and uses a conductive material for the holder that holds the solid immersion lens.
- the control of the position of the solid imaging lens in the optical axis direction is independent of the control of the distance between the objective lens and the optical disk in the optical axis direction.
- An invention of a drive device for an optical head and an optical recording medium that is based on the capacitance (capacitor) formed by the material has already been filed with the Japan Patent Office (Patent Application Publication No. : Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H08-212125).
- the air gap can be controlled with high accuracy irrespective of the linear velocity of the optical disc.
- the actuating mechanism for moving the lens in the direction of the optical axis for focusing servo is the actuating mechanism for moving the holder holding the solid-dimension lens.
- the act of moving the holder holding the objective lens You need two nights with Yue.
- the symbol processing for generating the control signal for the focus servo includes a signal processing for generating a control signal for controlling the position of the solid merge y-lens based on the capacitance, and an objective signal processing.
- signal processing that generates a control signal that controls the distance between optical disks for example, matrix processing of the output signal of a photodetector that receives the laser beam reflected by the optical disk. Two systems of signal processing are required.
- the number of apertures can be increased by the solid immersion lens, and the air gap can be controlled with high precision based on the capacitance.

- the surface of the solid imaginary lens facing the optical recording medium has a central portion protruding and its peripheral portion flat, and a film made of a conductive material is coated on the peripheral portion.
- the capacitance is formed between the optical recording medium and the solid-dimension lens, the capacitance is formed, for example, between the holding member and the optical recording medium.
- the capacitance value is increased by reducing the distance between the conductive material and the optical recording medium compared to when forming As a result, the control signal based on the capacitance can be generated with higher accuracy.
- the other part of the optical head retreats with respect to the optical recording medium by an amount corresponding to the projection of the center part of the facing surface, so that the entire optical head is inclined with respect to the optical recording medium. In such a case, the effect of reducing the possibility that the optical head comes into contact with the optical recording medium can be obtained.
- the holding member is used for static connection. Since the capacitance value can be detected, the effect that the capacitance value can be easily detected is obtained.
- the optical recording medium driving device of the present invention it is possible to increase the numerical aperture by the soli-dimension lens, and control the force, and the air gap to be sufficiently small. It can be performed with high accuracy based on the capacitance, and it is possible to realize the focus servo with one moving mechanism and one system of symbol processing based on the capacitance.
- the advantage is that the moving mechanism and the signal processing can be further simplified.
