Patent number: 7880869Abstract: A calibration apparatus and method for optical system assembly is provided, applicable to a finite conjugate optical system to determine the optimal image-forming positions of the light source and the focus object lens of the finite conjugate optical system. The apparatus includes an external light source, a low magnification image-forming optical system, an electrical control system and a monitor. When the parallel beam generated by the external light source is parallel to the optical axis of the finite conjugate optical system, the low magnification image-forming optical system is used to magnify the two focal spots formed by the external light source and the internal light source of the finite conjugate optical system to be calibrated. Finally, by adjusting the related position of the focus object lens or the internal light source of the finite conjugate optical system, the optimal relative positions between the light source and the focus object lens of the finite conjugate optical system can be found.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2009Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: TopRay Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Tsung-Min Yang, Wei-Chih Lu

Patent number: 7358470Abstract: An optical pickup with a reflective coating device is provided, including a laser diode (LD), an optical element, and a photo detector integrated circuit (PDIC). The LD emits 1-3 lights with different wavelengths but the same polarization orientation. The beam transmits through the optical element set and focus on a recording media for data reading and writing. The beams are reflected by the recording media, through the optical element set, and detected by the PDIC for signal detection. The optical element set further includes a grating, a reflective coating device, and an objective lens. By using the reflective coating device to change the linear polarization orientation of the emitting light and the feedback light for 90° angle, the relative intensity noise caused by the feedback light in LD can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2006Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: TopRay Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jinn-Kang Wang, Tsung-Min Yang
