Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for performing recording or reproduction using holography and a hologram reproduction method.
- the Blu-ray Disc (TM) standard using a blue-violet semiconductor laser has made it possible to commercialize an optical disc having a recording capacity of about 50 GB even for consumer use.
- HDD Hard Disk Drive
- Hologram recording technology is a method in which signal light having page data information two-dimensionally modulated by a spatial light modulator is superimposed on reference light inside the recording medium, and the interference fringe pattern generated at that time is placed in the recording medium. This is a technique for recording information on a recording medium by causing refractive index modulation.
- the hologram recorded in the recording medium acts like a diffraction grating to generate diffracted light. This diffracted light is reproduced as the same light including the recorded signal light and phase information.
- Regenerated signal light is detected two-dimensionally at high speed using a photodetector such as a CMOS or CCD.
- a photodetector such as a CMOS or CCD.
- the hologram recording technique enables two-dimensional information to be recorded on the optical recording medium at once by one hologram and further reproduces this information. Since the page data can be overwritten, large-capacity and high-speed information recording / reproduction can be achieved.
- the shape of the recording medium 1 is, for example, a disk shape, which is fixed to the spindle motor 200 by a clamp mechanism, and the spindle motor 200 is driven to rotate so that the coherent beam is irradiated on the recording medium.
- the spindle motor 200 is fixed to the sled motor 201, and the sled motor 201 rotates and feeds the coherent beam on the recording medium.
- the irradiation position can be moved in the radial direction as well.
- hologram recording One major advantage of hologram recording is that it can record large amounts of data. However, when the increase in recording capacity is pursued, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of positioning control of the position where signal light or reference light is irradiated more than before.
- eccentricity becomes a problem as an example.
- Eccentricity means that the center of rotation of the spindle motor and the center of the disc-shaped hologram recording medium do not coincide.
- the cause of the eccentricity is caused by a combination of the eccentricity of the hologram recording medium itself and the eccentricity of the hologram recording medium fixing portion attached to the rotation shaft of the spindle motor, both of which are caused by the manufacturing process. . Therefore, every time the hologram recording medium is inserted into the hologram recording / reproducing apparatus, the degree of eccentricity changes.
- the radius r is controlled by a sled motor and the rotation angle ⁇ is controlled by a spindle motor to move the hologram recording medium and change the position where the signal light or reference light is irradiated.
- FIG. 25A shows an ideal reference light irradiation position when there is no eccentricity, and considers a case where a hologram recorded with a radius r and a rotation angle ⁇ is reproduced.
- the point O is the center of the disc-shaped hologram recording medium, and the point P is an ideal reference light irradiation position.
- a hologram is recorded at the point P.
- FIG. 25 (b) shows the hologram reproduction position when eccentricity exists.
- the center of rotation sp0 of the spindle motor does not coincide with the center O of the disc-shaped hologram recording medium due to eccentricity.
- the reference light irradiation position is the position P '. Since the actual hologram is recorded at the point P, the reference light is not irradiated to an appropriate position during reproduction. Thus, the reference light irradiation position P ′ is shifted by the amount of eccentricity ⁇ p.
- the eccentricity amount In the prior art, by controlling the amount of eccentricity ⁇ p caused by the manufacturing process, no problem occurs even if this difference ⁇ p occurs. That is, the amount of eccentricity ⁇ p is reduced so that the hologram can be reproduced even if the reference light irradiation position is shifted by ⁇ p.
- the eccentricity amount must be smaller than the positioning allowable amount ⁇ p_th of the reference light irradiation position.
- the first problem when the eccentricity is present is the deterioration of the hologram reproduction quality due to the deviation of the reference light irradiation position by ⁇ p.
- the recording is performed without any eccentricity at the time of recording and the eccentricity is present at the time of reproduction.
- the eccentricity may actually exist at the time of recording.
- FIG. 25B is replaced during recording, the point P is an ideal hologram recording position, and the point P ′ is an actual hologram recording position. If eccentricity exists at the time of recording, the recording position of the hologram intended to be recorded with the radius r and the rotation angle ⁇ will be shifted.
- the hologram is described as being recorded at the point P which is an ideal position. However, when there is an eccentricity at the time of recording and this is different from the eccentricity at the time of reproduction, FIG.
- Patent Document 1 does not consider any eccentricity of the medium.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a hologram recording / reproducing apparatus that realizes suitable recording and / or reproduction with respect to a hologram recording medium.
- suitable recording and / or reproduction with respect to the hologram recording medium can be realized.

Therefore, the controller 80 can determine whether or not the positioning of the hologram recording medium 1 with reference to the eccentricity detection mark is completed based on the XYOK signal. That is, the eccentricity compensation determination circuit 4005 functions as a circuit that determines the convergence of the eccentricity compensation control.
- the eccentricity compensation determination circuit 4005 is an attached circuit. Therefore, as can be seen from FIG. 19, the control system related to the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 and the moving stage drive circuit 41 includes a control system related to the X axis indicated by the broken line (A) and a control system related to the Y axis indicated by the broken line (B). being independent. That is, the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 receives the output signal of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the output signal of the second eccentricity detection sensor 16, and is used for controlling the X axis of the moving stage 51. Is only the output signal of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15. Similarly, only the output signal of the second eccentricity detection sensor 16 is used for controlling the Y axis of the moving stage 51.
- the X-axis compensator 4001 performs control so that the voltage of the output signal of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 that is input becomes zero.
- control is performed so that the voltage of the output signal of the second eccentricity detection sensor 16 that is input becomes zero.
- the case where the hologram recording medium 1 is eccentric is a case where the geometric center of the innermost circle R1 of the medium does not coincide with O, as will be described with reference to FIG. Even in such a case, the moving stage 51 controls the position of the hologram recording medium 1 using the eccentricity detection mark M1. Specifically, the geometric center O of the eccentricity detection mark M1 is controlled so as to coincide with the drive reference position of the moving stage 51.
- the position where the signal light and / or the reference light is irradiated is a position fixed to the apparatus. Therefore, this operation is performed so that the hologram recording medium 1 is positioned with reference to the eccentricity detection mark even when there is an eccentricity. In other words, this can be controlled so that the signal light and / or the reference light is irradiated to the position where the eccentricity is canceled.
- the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the second eccentricity detection sensor 16 are arranged orthogonally with respect to the drive reference position xy0, and the orthogonal direction is the direction of the drive axis of the moving stage 51. Identical. Next, the reason for adopting such a configuration will be described.
- the spindle control circuit 42, the radial direction transport control circuit 44, and the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 have the same configuration as described above. That is, the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 is configured to drive the X axis of the moving stage 51 based on the output signal of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15.
- the output signal of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 when the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 is arranged at the position P15 ' is as shown in FIG. That is, the direction in which ⁇ rs is taken is not the X-axis direction but the X′-axis direction. If the way of taking ⁇ rs is changed in this way, the relationship between ⁇ rs and the output voltage Vs becomes the same as in the case of FIG.
- the control system needs to be independent in the vicinity of the control target point.
- the edge of the eccentricity detection mark M2 is inclined 45 degrees in the vicinity of the point P15 '. For this reason, when the hologram recording medium 1 moves to the left by a minute distance, the output of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 also varies. As a result, the control by the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 may not converge.
- the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 is arranged at the position P15 as in the configuration of the present embodiment, similarly, consider the situation where the hologram recording medium 1 has moved to the left by a minute distance. In this case, the displacement in the X-axis direction of the edge of the eccentricity detection mark M2 in the vicinity of the point P15 is almost zero because the tangent line of the circle Cxy is parallel to the Y-axis at the point P15. Therefore, in the case of the configuration of the present embodiment, the X axis is hardly driven, and only the Y axis is driven. For this reason, the configuration of the present embodiment does not cause a problem.
- the biaxial control by the moving stage 51 converges to a preferred position without oscillation.
- the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the second eccentricity detection sensor 16 are arranged to be orthogonal to the drive reference position xy0.
- the tangents of the circle Cxy at the points P15 and P16 which are points where the eccentricity detection sensors are arranged, are parallel to the drive axis of the moving stage 51. That is.
- the seek process S414 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Note that the same flowchart is applied to the seek process S422.
- the radius r and the rotation angle ⁇ are parameters.
- the drive shaft having the radius r is referred to as r-axis
- the drive shaft having the rotation angle ⁇ is referred to as ⁇ -axis.
- the eccentricity compensation control is started by setting the XYON signal to High in the learning process step S404 performed before the seek process S414. Therefore, the eccentricity compensation control is turned on at the time when the seek process S414 is started.
- step S501 When the seek process is started (step S501), the difference between the coordinates (r, ⁇ ) where the hologram of the target address is located and the current position is calculated, and the movement amount is calculated for the r axis and the ⁇ axis (step S502). Next, it is determined whether the movement amount of the r-axis is other than zero (step S503). If the movement amount of the r-axis is other than zero (Yes in step S503), the radial position control is turned on by setting the RDON signal to High, and the command value TgtR is changed to move the r-axis. Start (step S504). After step S504, the process proceeds to step S505 described later. If the r-axis movement amount is zero (No in step S503), the process proceeds to step S505 without performing step S504.
- step S505 it is determined whether the amount of movement of the ⁇ axis is other than zero. If the movement amount of the ⁇ axis is other than zero (Yes in step S505), the spindle control is turned on by changing the SPON signal to High and the command value Tgt ⁇ is changed to start the movement of the ⁇ axis. (Step S506). After step S506, the process proceeds to step S507 described later. If the movement amount of the ⁇ axis is zero (No in step S505), the process proceeds to step S507 without performing step S506.
- step S507 it is determined whether the movement is completed.
- the movement is completed.
- step S507 If it is determined that the movement has not been completed (No in step S507), the process returns to step S507 again. That is, if any one of the RDOK signal, the SPOK signal, and the XYOK signal is at a low level, the operation is not determined that the movement has been completed, but waits until all the above three signals simultaneously become a high level. It becomes.
- both the RDON signal and the SPON signal are set to low to turn off the radial position control and the spindle control and end the movement (step S508).
- the controller 80 outputs the command value Tgt ⁇ of the reference light incident angle, thereby changing the reference light incident angle (step S509).
- the command value Tgt ⁇ output here is an incident angle corresponding to the hologram page to be positioned by seek processing.
- step S510 it is determined whether or not the seek process during reproduction is performed. If the seek is not during playback (No in step S510), the process proceeds to step S518 described later, and the seek process is terminated. If it is a seek at the time of reproduction (in the case of Yes in step S510), the seek process is not completed by this, and finally, the address is obtained by reproducing the recorded hologram, and the target address is correctly positioned. Continue seek processing until This is because a seek at the time of recording results in a seek to an unrecorded portion, and address information cannot be obtained.
- step S5 If it is a seek at the time of reproduction (Yes in step S510), orthogonal incidence angle optimization processing is performed (step S511). Details of the orthogonal incident angle optimization processing will be described later.
- step S511 it is determined whether the amount of diffracted light is larger than the threshold L_th (step S512). If the amount of diffracted light is greater than the threshold value L_th (Yes in step S512), it is determined whether the hologram can be reproduced (step S513).
- step S512 When the amount of diffracted light is smaller than the threshold value L_th (No in step S512) and when the amount of diffracted light is larger than the threshold L_th but the hologram is NG (No in step S513), positioning is accurate. It means that it could not be done. Therefore, the r-axis and ⁇ -axis retry values are calculated based on the predetermined retry parameter (step S514), and the process returns to step S502. As a result, a retry seek to move to the positioned vicinity is performed.
- step S5 the address information included in the reproduced hologram is acquired (step S515). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the acquired address is a target address (step S516). If the acquired address is not the target address (No in step S516), it means that positioning has not been performed correctly. Therefore, the difference between the coordinates (r, ⁇ ) of the acquired address and the coordinates (r, ⁇ ) of the target address is calculated (step S517), and the process returns to step S502. As a result, a retry seek based on the address information of the hologram is performed.
- step S5136 If the acquired address is the target address (Yes in step S516), the seek process is terminated (step S518).
- the spindle control converges to the vicinity of the angle command value Tgt ⁇ , and the SPOK signal becomes High.
- the spindle control is not turned off unless the XYOK signal output from the eccentricity compensation determination circuit 4005 is High (that is, the output signal of the spindle controller 4202 is continuously output as the SPD signal).
- the SPOK signal functions as a spindle control convergence determination circuit, and when the SPOK signal becomes High, the spindle control is turned off purely. It's okay. However, this is not done in this embodiment. The reason for this will be described later.
- step S601 the controller 80 instructs the incident angle offset output circuit 26 to set the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs to a predetermined value.
- step S508 of FIG. 5 which is a flowchart of the seek process. That is, the incident angle offset output circuit 26 outputs a value other than zero as the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs, so that the incident angle can be controlled to be shifted by ⁇ ofs.
- the diffracted light intensity measurement circuit 83 is used to measure the deviation of the luminance gravity center of the diffracted light from the optical axis (step S603).
- the controller 80 calculates an optimal orthogonal incident angle from the deviation of the luminance center of gravity of the diffracted light (step S604).
- the controller 80 functions as a means for calculating the orthogonal incident angle.
- step S604 the incident angle of the reference light is shifted by a known value ⁇ ofs. If there is a deviation in the orthogonal incident angle while the incident angle of the reference light is deviated, it is observed as a phenomenon in which the luminance center of gravity is deviated in the photodetector 226 in this embodiment. This will be described with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 7 schematically shows the luminance distribution of the photodetector 226 when the incident angle of the reference light is changed.
- 7A to 7C show the luminance distribution of the photodetector 226 when the incident angle of the reference light is changed in a state where the incident angle of the reference light is shifted from the optimum value by ⁇ ofs in the plus direction.
- FIG. 7A shows a case where the orthogonal incident angle of the reference light is deviated from the optimum value in the minus direction.
- FIG. 7B shows a case where the orthogonal incident angle of the reference light is an optimum value
- FIG. 7C shows a case where the orthogonal incident angle of the reference light is deviated from the optimum value in the plus direction.
- the optimum value of the orthogonal incident angle means an orthogonal incident angle at which the intensity of diffracted light is maximized.
- the diffracted light generated from the hologram recording medium 1 propagates to the photodetector 226 through the objective lens 215 and the like along the optical axis shown in FIG. For this reason, the luminance gravity center in the photodetector 226 coincides with the center of the light receiving surface of the photodetector 226.
- the diffracted light generated from the hologram recording medium 1 is shown in FIG.
- the light beam deviates from the optical axis, passes through the objective lens 215, etc., and propagates to the photodetector 226.
- it is observed on the photodetector 226 as a phenomenon in which the luminance is shifted. That is, the phenomenon that the luminance center of gravity in the photodetector 226 is shifted can be rephrased as a phenomenon in which diffracted light propagates out of the optical axis of the optical system.
- the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs in addition to the incident angle of the reference light is known, for example, the deviation of the orthogonal incident angle and the deviation of the luminance centroid in the case of the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs are obtained experimentally. Thereby, the deviation from the optimum value of the orthogonal incident angle can be calculated from the deviation of the luminance center of gravity. By utilizing this fact, the optimum value of the orthogonal incident angle can be calculated.
- step S604 the controller 80 sets the orthogonal incident angle command value Tgt ⁇ of the reference light to the optimum orthogonal incident angle calculated in step S604 (step S605).
- the actuator 219 is driven so that the orthogonal incident angle of the reference light is changed to the value calculated in step S604.
- the orthogonal incident angle of the reference light is changed to the optimum orthogonal incident angle calculated in step S604.
- step S605 the controller 80 instructs the incident angle offset output circuit 26 to set the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs to zero (step S606), and ends the orthogonal incident angle optimization process (step S607).
- step S605 the order of setting the optimal orthogonal incident angle in step S605 and setting zero to the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs in step S606 may be reversed. If the optimum orthogonal incident angle setting in step S605 and the setting of zero to the incident angle offset ⁇ ofs in step S606 are both completed, the information from the hologram is reproduced following the seek process. Good.
- two points are important: “positioning” with respect to the hologram when the hologram recording medium 1 is conveyed, and adjustment with respect to the reference light so that the “diffraction condition” is satisfied after the positioning is completed.
- the hologram recording / reproducing apparatus of the present embodiment has an eccentricity compensation control system in order to solve the eccentricity problem.
- This eccentricity compensation control is configured to drive the moving stage 51 based on the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the second eccentricity detection sensor 16.
- the original application is a detection sensor for compensating for eccentricity in positioning at the time of hologram reproduction, and there is a sensor having sufficient detection resolution from this viewpoint.
- FIG. 10 illustrates the problem of the eccentricity compensation control system when the present invention is not used.
- FIG. 10A shows a case where the eccentricity compensation control system operates ideally.
- a circle Csp shows the center line of the angle detection mark M1 when the eccentricity compensation control system operates ideally. At this time, the geometric center of the eccentricity detection mark M1 coincides with the drive reference position of the moving stage 51.
- the point PL indicates a position where the signal light and the reference light are irradiated, and is a position directly below the objective lens.
- the signal light vector and the reference light vector in the figure illustrate the projection projected on the paper surface.
- the predetermined incidence is made in a plane perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 10. Incident at an angle.
- a quadrangle H0 schematically shows the hologram shape when the eccentricity compensation control system operates ideally.
- FIG. 10B shows a case where the output resolution of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the second eccentricity detection sensor 16 is insufficient.
- the center line of the angle detection mark M1 is, for example, a circle Csp ′. That is, the eccentricity compensation control is insufficient, and the center O of the hologram recording medium 1 may not be completely coincident with the drive reference position xy0 of the moving stage 51.
- FIG. 10B shows a state where the center O of the hologram recording medium 1 is shifted by a minute amount d in the X-axis direction.
- the hologram recording medium 1 in which the eccentricity compensation control system operates ideally to record a hologram is considered, and the eccentricity compensation control is insufficient as shown in FIG. Let us consider a case where information is reproduced by irradiating a reference beam.
- the hologram is recorded in a state where the eccentricity compensation control system is ideally operated, that is, a position where the influence of the eccentricity is completely canceled.
- the center O of the hologram recording medium 1 is shifted by a minute amount d in the X-axis direction.
- the hologram rotates on the paper surface as a square H1.
- the amount of rotation of the hologram is represented by ⁇ .
- the present inventor has found that the permissible amount ⁇ _th of the rotation ⁇ of the hologram is reduced in performing high-density reproduction of the hologram. Therefore, when the present invention is not used, there arises a problem that the hologram rotation ⁇ exceeds the allowable amount ⁇ _th and the hologram cannot be reproduced properly.
- the orthogonal incident angle optimization process is performed to solve this problem and realize high-density reproduction of the hologram.
- the reason why the problem of rotation of the hologram can be solved by the orthogonal incident angle optimization processing will be described.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram when the Bragg diffraction condition is applied to reproduction of a hologram.
- the vector Kr is the wave number vector of the reference light
- the vectors Ks1 and Ks2 are the wave number vectors of the signal light
- the vectors Kg1 and Kg2 are the grating vectors.
- the expression of the wave number vector of the signal light is an expression that focuses on the signal light irradiated at the time of recording the hologram, but if the direction is reversed, it becomes the wave number vector of the diffracted light at the time of reproduction.
- the signal light is irradiated onto the hologram recording medium 1 as convergent light by the objective lens 215, there are an infinite number of wave vectors of the signal light, and an infinite number of grating vectors as well. Since the wavelength of the signal light and the reference light are the same, when the start point of the wave number vector of the reference light and the start point of the wave number vector of the signal light are made common as shown in FIG. Get on.
- the “optical axis of signal light” in this specification is defined.
- the signal light is indicated by one arrow, but the signal light near the hologram recording medium is convergent light.
- the “optical axis of the signal light” is defined as the optical axis of the objective lens 215 when FIG. 2 which is a configuration diagram of the optical system is used. 11A, it is the central axis of the wave vector of countless signal light.
- Bragg diffraction conditions in hologram reproduction can be said to form a triangle in which the wave vector of reference light, the wave vector of signal light, and the grating vector are closed.
- the wave number vector Kr of the reference light and the grating vector are combined.
- the set of tips of the combined vector forms an arc indicated by A.
- Bragg's diffraction condition is that A, which is a set of the tips of the component vectors, coincides with the arc of the circle C.
- FIG. 12 shows an Ewald sphere
- an arc P1 shows an arc where the signal light incident surface intersects the Ewald sphere.
- the portion indicated by the arc A in FIG. 11B corresponds to the region indicated by B in FIG.
- a quadrangular pyramid-shaped solid whose bottom surface is the region B is formed by the grating vector.
- the diffraction condition is that the region indicated by B in FIG. 12A matches the spherical surface of the Ewald sphere.
- Changing the orthogonal incident angle means changing the angle at which the reference light is incident on the hologram recording medium 1 in the direction orthogonal to the incident surface of the signal light, as described with reference to FIG. In the Ewald sphere, this corresponds to, for example, the wave vector of the reference light existing on the plane including the arc P2.
- the angle of the reference light can be changed so that the wave number vector of the reference light becomes an arrow illustrated by Kr ′.
- the region (the bottom surface of the quadrangular pyramid) formed by combining the wave vector and the grating vector of the reference light can be matched with the spherical surface of the Ewald sphere. That is, the Bragg diffraction condition is satisfied, and diffracted light is appropriately generated from the hologram.
- changing the reference light wave number vector to the arrow indicated by Kr ′ means changing the orthogonal incident angle so that the reference light wave number vector exists on the plane including the arc P2. Is almost equivalent to
- the point T0 which is the tip of the reference light wave vector
- the point T3 By changing the orthogonal incident angle, the point T0, which is the tip of the reference light wave vector, can move on the plane P3, so that the tip of the reference light wave vector can be moved to the position of the point T1.
- the Bragg diffraction condition is approached as compared to before the change of the orthogonal incident angle, and the amount of diffracted light from the hologram increases.
- the height of the apex of the square pyramid changes due to the rotation of the hologram. That is, the point T2 that is the apex of the triangular pyramid is not on the plane P3. Therefore, in order to best compensate for the rotation of the hologram, it is desirable to change not only the orthogonal incident angle but also the incident angle. This will be described in another embodiment described later.
- the rotation of the hologram can be compensated by changing the orthogonal incident angle of the reference light.
- an eccentricity compensation control system is required to cancel the influence of the eccentricity of the hologram recording medium 1 and perform “positioning”. This improves the “positioning” accuracy with respect to the hologram.
- simply providing an eccentricity compensation control system causes rotation of the hologram as a problem unique to the hologram, and the “diffraction condition” cannot be satisfied. Therefore, in the present invention, as means for solving this problem, the orthogonal incident angle is optimized after executing eccentricity compensation control.
- the eccentricity compensation control system when the eccentricity compensation control system is provided, not only can the “positioning” accuracy be improved, but also the “diffraction condition” can be satisfied.
- the first effect of the present embodiment is that it is possible to realize both the control system for canceling the eccentricity and the diffraction condition.
- the problem that the detection resolution of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the second eccentricity detection sensor 16 is insufficient when used in the eccentricity compensation control system of the hologram recording / reproducing apparatus can be solved. For this reason, a large and expensive sensor is not required as the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the second eccentricity detection sensor 16.
- the second effect of the present embodiment is that the apparatus can be reduced in size and cost.
- a suitable configuration for canceling the eccentricity is the mounting order.
- the best configuration for canceling the eccentricity is a configuration in which a moving stage is mounted on the spindle motor, unlike this mounting order. Thereby, eccentricity can be canceled by the simplest method. If it demonstrates using FIG.18 (b), even if it is a case where eccentricity exists, the center O of a hologram recording medium can be made to correspond with the rotation center sp0 of a spindle motor. However, this configuration is very difficult to realize a moving stage. Because the moving stage is mounted on the rotating shaft of the rotating spindle motor, the electric wiring of the moving stage control system (wiring connecting the moving stage drive circuit 41 and the moving stage 51 in this embodiment) is rotated. It is necessary to install along the axis. This implementation requires an expensive mechanism, and it is difficult to extend the life of the apparatus.
- the mounting order of the spindle motor 50 and the moving stage 51 is the order in which the spindle motor 50 is mounted on the movable portion of the moving stage 51 as in the configuration of the present embodiment.
- the sensor is fixed to the same member as the moving stage 51, and is integrated with the hologram recording medium 1 by the radial conveyance unit 52. It is preferably transferred in the radial direction. As a result, the moving stage 51 and the sensor are mounted on the movable part of the radial transport unit 52.
- the third effect of the present embodiment is that both the cancellation of eccentricity and the ease of realization of the device can be solved by a mechanism in the order of mounting.
- the moving stage cannot be mounted on the rotating shaft of the spindle motor, and the spindle motor is mounted on the moving stage.
- characteristic control is required also in terms of control.
- the center O of the hologram recording medium can be made coincident with the rotation center sp0 of the spindle motor, as described with reference to FIG. .
- the center O of the hologram recording medium 1 is made to coincide with the drive reference position xy0 of the moving stage 51 while the center O of the hologram recording medium and the rotation center sp0 of the spindle motor are shifted. Thereby, it can control so that signal light and / or reference light may be irradiated to the position where eccentricity was canceled.
- FIG. 14A is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the hologram recording medium 1 and various sensors.
- a circle R2 indicates the outermost periphery of the hologram recording medium 1
- a circle Cxy indicates an outer peripheral edge of the eccentricity detection mark M2
- a circle Csp indicates a center line of the angle detection mark M1.
- the center O of the hologram recording medium coincides with the drive reference position xy0 of the moving stage 51, it is illustrated as such in FIG. In FIG. 14A, it is assumed that there is eccentricity. That is, the spindle motor rotation center sp0 is illustrated as a position that does not coincide with the drive reference position xy0 of the moving stage 51.
- spindle control and radial position control are performed independently during seek operation in an optical disk device. These two controls may be performed simultaneously or sequentially. If this conventional control method is followed, the spindle control, the radial position control, and the eccentricity compensation control in this embodiment may be performed independently. However, when the configuration of the present embodiment is adopted, the spindle control and the eccentricity compensation control cannot be controlled independently.
- a target hologram is recorded at a position indicated by a point P, and seek is performed to rotate the spindle motor 50 in order to reproduce the hologram.
- the destination of the point P is indicated by a point TgtP.
- Point TgtP is a position where reference light is irradiated.
- the objective lens is directly above the point TgtP.
- a seek operation when there is no eccentricity is considered when the spindle motor 50 is rotated by - ⁇ .
- the hologram recording medium 1 rotates by ⁇ about the point sp 0 that is the center of rotation of the spindle motor 50.
- a straight line connecting the point sp0 and the point P14 is L0
- a straight line obtained by rotating the straight line around the point sp0 by + ⁇ is L1. Since the rotation angle is detected by the rotation angle detection sensor 14 installed at the point P14, the rotation of ⁇ around the point sp0 rotates around the point sp0 so that L1 overlaps L0. Means that.
- Fig. 14 (b) shows the state after rotation.
- point P is moved to point P '.
- the center O of the hologram recording medium 1 moves from the drive reference position xy0 of the moving stage 51 to the point O ′.
- the circle after rotation is shown with “′ (dash)”.
- the target hologram cannot be moved to the target position TgtP simply by rotating the spindle motor 50 by ⁇ .
- eccentricity compensation control is performed following this rotation, the point O ′ can be made coincident with the point xy0, but the point P ′ does not coincide with the point TgtP due to the movement by the eccentricity compensation control.
- the rotation center sp0 of the spindle motor 50 does not coincide with the drive reference position xy0, and therefore the amount of rotation necessary to rotate the spindle motor 50 is no longer - ⁇ .
- the change in the rotation angle detected during the seek period in the rotation angle detection sensor 14 fixed at the position of the point P14 is accurately ⁇ .
- the point Q illustrated in FIG. 14A comes on a straight line connecting the center O ′ of the hologram recording medium 1 and the point P14.
- a point Q is a point obtained by rotating the point P14 around the point xy0 by + ⁇ .
- the center O ′ of the hologram recording medium 1 is controlled to a position coinciding with the drive reference position xy0 in the final state of seek, it means that the point Q in FIG. 14A is on the X axis. To do. This means that the point P is on the X axis, and that the point P is moved to the target position TgtP.
- step S508 This operation is realized by turning off the spindle control in step S508 when both the SPOK signal and the XYOK signal are in the high level in step S507 in FIG. 5 which is the flowchart of this embodiment.
- the seek operation can be appropriately performed even in the configuration of the present embodiment.
- the second effect of this embodiment is that it has a control method that realizes highly accurate positioning even in the case of the mechanical mounting order of this embodiment.
- the rotation center of the spindle motor and the geometry of the disc-shaped hologram recording medium 1 are realized. Even when there is a deviation from the geometric center, that is, when eccentricity exists, positioning control can be performed at a position where the eccentricity is canceled. More specifically, when the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 and the spindle control circuit 42 operate according to this embodiment, the hologram recording medium 1 is positioned with reference to the geometric center of the eccentricity detection mark. Thereby, even if eccentricity exists, it is possible to record or reproduce the hologram by irradiating the signal light or the reference light to the position where the eccentricity is canceled.
- a mark is provided on the hologram recording medium 1, and the mark is detected and controlled.
- high-accuracy positioning control that does not depend on variations between apparatuses can be performed. That is, the degree of eccentricity of the hologram recording medium fixing portion attached to the rotating shaft of the spindle motor varies between apparatuses, but high-accuracy positioning control independent of this variation is possible.
- the fifth effect of the present embodiment is that by providing the hologram recording medium 1 with the angle detection mark and the eccentricity detection mark, high-accuracy positioning based on the medium can be realized. .
- the flow is changed to the incident angle corresponding to the hologram page to be positioned by the seek process in step S508, and then the incident angle is shifted by ⁇ ofs in step S602.
- ⁇ ofs may be shifted from the beginning in step S508.
- the characteristic operation when the configuration of this embodiment is adopted is that the incident angle of the reference light when measuring the luminance gravity center of the diffracted light in step S603 is the reference light when the seek process is finished in step S518. This is different from the incident angle.
- suitable recording / reproduction with respect to the hologram recording medium can be realized.
- the optimal orthogonal incident angle was calculated from the luminance centroid of the diffracted light with the incident angle offset added.
- Other implementation forms of the orthogonal incident angle optimization processing S511 are conceivable, and the present embodiment is an example thereof.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the first embodiment.
- Various parts constituting the hologram recording / reproducing apparatus 10 are also common to the first embodiment.
- Example 2 is different from Example 1 only in part of the operation flow.
- FIG. 5 that is the flowchart of the seek process of the first embodiment, the specific process contents in the orthogonal incident angle optimization process S511 are different.
- differences from the first embodiment will be described.
- step S701 When the orthogonal incident angle optimization process is started (step S701), the value of the counter k is set to zero (step S702). Subsequently, the controller 80 changes the command value Tgt ⁇ of the orthogonal incident angle to ⁇ [k] in accordance with the array ⁇ [k] provided in advance (Step S703). As a result, the value of the orthogonal incident angle is changed to ⁇ [k].
- step S704 the controller 80 measures the intensity of the diffracted light using the diffracted light intensity measurement circuit 83 and stores it as I [k] (step S704).
- step S703 1 is added to the value of the counter k (step S705), and then it is determined whether the counter k is greater than or equal to the value N (step S706).

Accordingly, the actuator 221 and the actuator 224 are driven so that the incident angle of the reference light is changed to the value calculated in step S714.

- the orthogonal incident angle optimization process in the above description may be replaced with the reference light angle optimization process.
- the present invention only performs a hologram positioning operation with eccentricity compensation control at the time of recording, and always changes the orthogonal incident angle to an optimum value after the hologram positioning operation with eccentricity compensation control at the time of reproduction.

- the angle detection mark and the eccentricity detection mark can be shared by the same mark.
- the outer peripheral edge of the eccentricity detection mark M2 is an edge used for performing eccentricity compensation control.
- an edge used for performing eccentricity compensation control an inner peripheral edge of a predetermined mark provided on the medium may be detected, or an outer peripheral edge of the predetermined mark may be detected.

- the eccentricity detection sensor may output a voltage corresponding to the relative positional relationship with the eccentricity detection mark M2, and may use a sensor that does not emit light.

- One implementation of this configuration is a configuration in which the drive axes of the moving stage 51 are not orthogonal.
- the limitation on the arrangement of the sensors is that the tangent line of the circle Cxy at the points P15 and P16, which are points where the eccentricity detection sensor is arranged, is parallel to the drive axis of the moving stage 51. Therefore, for example, in order to satisfy this restriction when the X axis of the moving stage 51 is the X ′ axis in FIG. 13A, the fixed position of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 must be P15 ′. . In this way, a configuration in which the drive axes of the moving stage 51 are not orthogonal is possible.

From the output voltage of the first eccentricity detection sensor 15 and the output voltage of the second eccentricity detection sensor 16, the position of the geometric center O of the eccentricity detection mark M2 can be calculated. is there.
- the eccentricity compensation circuit 40 performs this calculation and controls the X axis and the Y axis based on the calculated amount. In the case of this configuration, the calculation is based on the assumption that the eccentricity detection mark M2 is a perfect circle. As a result, there is an aspect in which the required roundness accuracy is improved and the manufacturing cost of the hologram recording medium 1 is increased. For this reason, the structure of Example 1 is more suitable.

Compensation of the gain and phase by the digital filter ensures the stability of each control system.

In this case, it is not necessary to use the radial conveyance unit 52, and the moving stage 51, the first eccentricity detection sensor 15, the second eccentricity detection sensor 16, and the rotation angle detection sensor 14 are relative to a member whose position is fixed.
