Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress return light inducing noise and to obtain a high CN ratio at the reproducing of an photomagnetic disk by adding a DC offset to a focus error signal of an objective lens. CONSTITUTION:Light radiated from a semiconductor laser 1 is made incident upon a collimeter lens 2 and turned to parallel light. A part of the light is reflected by a beam splitter 3 and projected to the outside of an optical system and the residual is passed through the beam splitter 3 as it is, made incident upon the objective lens 4 and then focused on the optoelectro-magnetic disk 5. When a focus error signal of the objective lens 4 is detected by an astigmatic method and a focus servo is closed under the status that a DC offset is added to the focus error signal, a certain fixed defocus state is held and the signal is reproduced to obtain a high CN ratio.

Signal reproduction is performed by applying focus servo so that the recording surface & of the two converges. However, in this case, light source 1. Compared to the very large amount of light returned to the semiconductor laser, the return light induced noise increases, resulting in high C/

(Function) As mentioned above, when a signal is reproduced in a certain defocus state, the constant ray flux reflected from the disk surface will re-enter the objective lens, but the divergence angle and the exit angle from the objective lens at this time In other words, the spot diameter of the return light at the emission end facet of the semiconductor laser becomes large, making it difficult for it to enter the active layer of the semiconductor laser. The interference effect is reduced and return light induced noise is suppressed.

Next, a part of the light is reflected by the beam splitter 5 and exits from the optical system, and the rest passes through the beam as it is, enters the objective lens 4, and is focused on the magneto-optical disk 5. Here, objective lens 4
When the focus error signal is detected by the astigmatism method, a DC offset is added to the focus error signal, and the focus servo is closed in a stable state, the recording surface of the magneto-optical disk converges to the focal position of the objective lens 4. I will not do it.

In other words, a defocused state is created. Here, the focus error detection method is the same for the knife method and the critical angle method. Next, it is reflected by the recording surface 6 and returned to the objective lens 4. The light rays incident on the objective lens 4. The spot diameter of the light beam that re-enters the objective lens 4 and returns to the end face of the semiconductor laser 1 increases in a manner that does not match the divergence angle at which the light beam is emitted. Consequently, the amount of light that enters the active layer of the semiconductor laser 5 is reduced, the interference effect is reduced, and return light induced noise is suppressed. As a result, the reflected light having a polarization plane signal separated by the beam splitter 5 passes through the analyzer l, where the polarization plane is detected, undergoes strong conversion, becomes a t signal, enters the focusing lens a, and is output to the photodetector. Signal detected by diode 9, high C/N
You can get the ratio. At this time, there is a maximum difference of 15 dB (RBW 50 KHz) in the C/N ratio of a single frequency of I MHz between the case where a DC offset of ±5 μrn is added to the focus error signal and the case where the offset is zero. /N ratio was significantly improved. As described above, the present invention can suppress return light induced noise using a very simple method, and can obtain a high C/N ratio when reproducing a magneto-optical disk.
