Title:
光学走査装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008533518
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An optical scanning device ( 1 ) includes a radiation source ( 7 ), a detector ( 23 ) and a beam splitter ( 9 ). The radiation source ( 7 ) provides an incident radiation beam ( 4, 20 ) along a first optical path ( 19 a) for scanning an information layer ( 2 ) of an optical record carrier ( 3 ). The detector ( 23 ) detects at least a portion of the radiation beam ( 22 ) reflected from the optical record carrier ( 3 ). The beam splitter ( 9 ) transmits the incident radiation beam ( 4 ) received from the radiation source along the first optical path ( 19 a) towards the optical record carrier. The beam splitter ( 9 ) also transmits the reflected beam ( 22 ) received from the optical record carrier ( 3 ) along a second, different optical path ( 19 b) towards the detector. The optical scanning device further includes a beam-deflecting element ( 30; 130; 230; 330; 630; 830; 930 ) positioned on the second optical path ( 19 b) between the beam splitter ( 9 ) and the detector ( 23 ). The beam-deflecting element ( 30; 130; 230; 330; 630; 830; 930 ) is arranged to controllably deflect the path of the reflected radiation beam ( 22 ) for adjusting the lateral position of said reflected radiation beam incident upon the detector ( 23 ) over a predetermined range.
