no. 1 Embodiment approach
[0070] A method of detecting a focus shift error signal of an optical head according to a first embodiment of the present invention and an optical recording and reproducing apparatus using the method will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 11 . First, the schematic configuration of the optical head 1 included in the optical recording and reproducing device 150 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 . The optical head 1 of the present embodiment is capable of recording or reproducing information on two optical recording media 15 having different physical track pitch lengths. The optical recording medium 15 (first optical recording medium 15 a ) having a relatively large physical track pitch is a DVD-RAM or an optical recording medium having an equivalent physical track pitch. In addition, the optical recording medium 15 (second optical recording medium 15 b ) having a relatively small physical track pitch is DVD-ROM, DVD±R / RW, or an...
no. 2 Embodiment approach
[0164] Next, a method of detecting a focus shift error signal of an optical head according to a second embodiment of the present invention and an optical recording and reproducing apparatus using the method will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14 . The optical head of this embodiment is characterized in that it uses a special diffractive element including a wave-shaped grating pattern as a diffractive element necessary for forming sub-beams on an information recording surface of an optical recording medium. The structure of the optical head of this embodiment is the same as that of the optical head 1 of the above-mentioned first embodiment except that a special diffraction grating is used instead of the diffraction grating 19, and therefore description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the configuration of the optical recording and reproducing device of this embodiment is the same as that of the optical recording and reproducing device 150 of the above-mentioned ...
