Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce focus error off-set caused by pit depth by successively arranging four photodetectors in a track mapping direction and adding or subtracting a phase difference output for the output of two photodetectors in an external side and a phase difference output for the outputs of two photodetectors in an internal side with suitable gain ratio. CONSTITUTION:Photodetectors 4a-4d are arranged in the track mapping direction. When an optical recording medium 10 is separated from or closed to the focus position of an objective lens 3, the phases of the outputs of the photodetectors 4a and 4b in the external side are widely dislocated mutually in an opposite direction, however, the phases of the outputs of the photodetectors 4b and 4c in the internal side are not changed so much. Then, only the normal off-set to be caused by the pit depth is detected. Thus, by adding the phase difference detecting outputs of the inside photodetectors 4b and 4c, to which a suitable coefficient is multiplied, to the phase difference detecting outputs of the outside photodetectors 4a and 4d, focus error detecting off-set can be eliminated.

Figure (a) shows a far-field image of the information pit projected on the
represents a far-field image when the recording surface is within the focal depth of the objective lens 3. The pattern shown in the figure is created when the light diffracted at the edge of the information pit interferes with the light reflected from the flat surface. The diffracted lights are generated in mutually symmetrical directions with respect to the optical axis. Therefore, interference regions are formed on both sides of the optical axis.

When the recording medium 10 is at the focal position of the objective lens 3, the light amount distribution inside the interference region between the focused diffracted light and the flat portion reflected light does not change, but only the total light amount of the entire interference region changes. However, if the objective lens 3 is too close or too far from the recording medium 10,
As shown in , a shift in the light amount distribution occurs. Furthermore, the moving directions are opposite to each other depending on whether the focus error is positive or negative (far or near).

That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the far-field image intensity distribution becomes asymmetrical in the circumferential direction of the track, and a phase difference occurs accordingly. Furthermore, the phase difference depends on the optical height (depth) of the pit. Optical height of focus (
When the depth (depth) is exactly λ/4, the phase difference, that is, the focus error detection offset becomes zero (the light intensity distribution at the focused point is completely symmetrical), but the optical height (depth) of the pit The focus error detection offset becomes larger as the distance from this point increases.

In each, the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical axis represents signal amplitude. The parameter is the amount of defocus. The depth of focus is approximately λ/6. What is clear from this figure is that when the optical recording medium 10 moves away from or approaches the focal position of the objective lens 3, the phases of the outputs of the outer light receiving elements 4a and 4d shift greatly in opposite directions, but the inner light receiving element 4b, 4
The phase of the output of c does not change much, and only a steady offset due to the pit depth is detected. Therefore, the focus error can be determined from the phase difference between the outputs of the outer light receiving elements 4a and 4d, and the phase output of the inner light receiving elements 4b and 4c can be used as an offset correction signal.

The output of the phase comparison means 51 contains a focus error detection component and an offset component, and the output of the phase comparison means 52 mainly contains an offset component. Therefore, by multiplying the output of the phase comparison means 52 by an appropriate coefficient and adding (or subtracting) the resultant to the output of the phase comparison means 51, a focus error detection signal containing no stationary offset component can be obtained.

The operation of the focus error detection device configured as described above will be described below.

FIG. 4 shows a ladder of outputs of each light receiving element when a reading beam scans between two pits provided on adjacent trunks. The difference from FIG. 3 is that the phase difference between the outputs of the inner light receiving elements 4b and 4c when they are in focus is almost zero. Further defocusing causes a phase difference. Therefore, if focus error detection is performed using the method shown in the previous embodiment, the offset will not be corrected when off-track, so the amount of focus offset will be different between off-track and on-track. For example, if a track jump occurs, etc. When this happens, disturbances will be received in the focus direction.
