  • Patent number: 10264672
    Abstract: A glass substrate includes a plurality of through holes that penetrate from a first surface to a second surface of the glass substrate. Each through hole has an upper aperture with a first diameter on the first surface and a lower aperture with a second diameter on the second surface. For each of ten through holes selected from the plurality of through holes, a side wall length is obtained from the first and second diameters and the thickness of the glass substrate, and an R value is obtained by dividing the side wall length by the thickness of the glass substrate. The R values fall within a range of 1 to 1.1. A B value, obtained from dividing a difference between the greatest R value and the smallest R value by an average of the R values followed by multiplication with 100, is 5% or less.

  • Patent number: 8451704
    Abstract: A phase difference layer 12 and a reflection layer 13 are provided. Then, adjustment is performed such that the phase difference layer 12 and the reflection layer 13 impart a predetermined phase difference to light having a particular wavelength bandwidth or plural kinds of light of different wavelengths that enter in an oblique direction relative to the normal direction of the plane of the phase difference layer 12. By virtue of this, the light 16a that goes forward and backward through the phase difference layer 12 and then exits the layer has an ellipticity ? of 0.7 or greater. Thus, in particular, when this wave plate is employed in an optical head device, the function of reflection and the function of a ¼-wave plate are integrated. Thus, stable recording and reproduction of an optical disk are achieved, and size reduction is achieved in the optical head device.
