Patent number: 7289400Abstract: An optical disc drive includes an optical head having a stationary portion and a movable portion. The movable portion supports an objective lens for converging a beam emitted from the stationary portion on an optical disc. The movable portion moves radially across an optical disc in order to irradiate the beam on a desired track of the optical disc. The optical disc drive is further provided with an aberration correcting lens that corrects aberration caused by the objective lens. The aberration correcting lens is mounted on the movable portion so as to be movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to a movable direction of the movable portion, which may parallel or perpendicular to the optical disc. The aberration correcting lens is moved in accordance with a variation of the aberration caused by the objective lens.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: PENTAX CorporationInventor: Suguru Takishima

Publication number: 20040037196Abstract: To record information, a recording/reproducing optical system in an optical head irradiates a recording medium with information light and reference light for recording so that two-dimensional image information is recorded on the recording medium by means of interference between the information light and the reference light for recording. To reproduce information, the recording/reproducing optical system irradiates the recording medium with reference light for reproduction, and collects and detects reproduction light occurring from the recording medium. An optical information recording/reproducing apparatus comprises a tilt detector and an image deviation correction circuit. The tilt detector detects a tilt of the recording medium with respect to a predetermined reference position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2003Publication date: February 26, 2004Applicants: OPTWARE CORPORATION, PENTAX CORPORATIONInventors: Kozo Matsumoto, Hideyoshi Horimai, Wataru Kubo, Suguru Takishima

Patent number: 6667943Abstract: An optical disc apparatus includes a fixed portion having a light source portion and a movable portion that holds an objective lens and moves along a radial direction of an optical disc. The fixed portion includes the light source portion for selectively emitting short and long wavelength laser beams, and a collimator lens for collimating the laser beams. The objective lens includes a positive refractive lens and a diffractive lens structure formed on a surface of the refractive lens. The diffractive lens structure has wavelength dependence such that spherical aberration varies in the undercorrected direction as wavelength of incident light increases. The objective lens converges the short wavelength laser beam of a predetermined diffraction order onto an informatlon layer of a thin cover type optical disc, and converges the long wavelength laser beam of the identical diffraction order onto an information layer of a thick cover type optical disc.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2000Date of Patent: December 23, 2003Assignee: Pentax CorporationInventors: Koichi Maruyama, Hisashi Konno, Suguru Takishima, Wataru Kubo, Hiroshi Nishikawa, Hiroshi Yamamoto
