Abstract

PURPOSE:To excellently detect a signal and to simplify a configuration and regulation by unifying a convex lens, a Wollaston prism and a split, and composing them so as to be turnable. CONSTITUTION:A Wollaston prism 2, that splits incident polarized beams to mutually orthogonal two components in order to test a fine fluctuation in the polarizing direction included in the beams reflected by a magneto-optical disk surface, is positioned on an optical path. A convex lens 1 ad a splitter sensor 3 and said prism 2 are unified to obtain a sensor holder 4, and it is turned around a reflecting optical axis 200 so that the two polarized beam components are approximately equally splitted. Thus the dislocation of a focus on the split sensor 3 can be prevented, and the dislocation of a lens center axis, etc., with respect to the reflecting optical axis can be simply regulated by axial-centering the lens during the manufacture of integral configuration, and thus an excellent signal detector can be obtained.

Next, the operation and effects of the present invention will be explained. In order to analyze slight variations in the polarization direction contained in the light beam reflected from the magneto-optical disk surface, a Wallaston prism 2 is inserted in the optical path to separate the incident polarized light into two mutually orthogonal polarized components. The polarized light is rotated about the reflection optical axis 200 so that the two polarized light components are approximately equally divided, and the split sensor 3 uses a light-receiving layer differential detector or the like to read out a signal. Further, as shown in the present invention, by integrally configuring the convex lens 1, the Wollaston prism 21 and the divided sensor 3, it is possible to prevent the focal point on the divided sensor shown in FIG. 4 from shifting due to rotation.

In addition, the shift on the split sensor due to the shift of the lens center axis with respect to the reflected optical axis can be avoided by integrating the center axis of the three parts mentioned above during manufacturing, and the center of the convex lens and the center of the split sensor can be adjusted relative to each other. However, since no deviation occurs, a good signal detector can be achieved with a simple configuration.
