Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source, first and second beam-directing prism elements, and a transmission device. The light source emits a light beam. The first beam-directing prism element is arranged in a first direction. The second beam-directing prism element is arranged in a second direction and partially overlapped with the first beam-directing prism element. When the light beam passes through different regions of the first and second beam-directing prism elements, different bending angles are resulted. The transmission device is connected to the first and second beam-directing prism elements for driving movement of the first beam-directing prism element in the first direction and movement of the second beam-directing prism element in the second direction. Accordingly, the light beam emitted by the light source simultaneously passes through one of the regions of the first beam-directing prism element and one of the regions of the second beam-directing prism element.

Abstract: The invention discloses a system and method for adjusting the servo controls by monitoring the spot status projected upon the photo detector of an optical pickup head. By utilizing a beam splitting device, the present invention splits the reflected laser beam which projects to photo detector originally into two reflected laser beams, in which a first reflected laser beam still projects to the photo detector for generating the servo control signals, and a second reflected laser beam projects to an image sensor for obtaining the beam profile of reflected laser beam as the servo control still works normally. By reference to analyze the obtained beam profile, the characteristics of the optical pickup head system would be more realized and be helpful for adjusting the optical servo control system.
