Embodiment Construction

[0058] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0059] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement of an optical recording and reproducing apparatus (including an optical head) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Such as Figure 5 As shown, in this optical recording and reproducing apparatus, a light source 20, a collimating mirror 21, a beam splitter 22, a polarizing beam splitter 23, a quarter wave plate 24, an optical lens 25, and A near-field light radiation unit 26 composed of a suitable element such as a SIL (Solid Immersion Lens) is arranged in this order on the optical axis of light emitted from the light source 20 . Then, the first light receiving unit 27 is located on the optical path of the light reflected by the polarization beam splitter 23 , and the second l...

Abstract

An optical recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and / or reproducing an optical recording medium by irradiating light from a light source to the optical recording medium as near-field light from a near-field light irradiating unit includes a light source for emitting light, a first light-receiving unit for receiving and detecting returned light from the optical recording medium, a second light-receiving unit for receiving and detecting returned light from the near-field light irradiating unit, a control unit for detecting a relative skew between the optical recording medium and the near-field light irradiating unit based on a plurality of gap detection signals generated from divided detection signals of the second light-receiving unit and a drive control unit for outputting a drive signal to correct a skew of at least the near-field light irradiating unit to a drive unit in response to a skew detected in the control unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical recording and reproducing apparatus, an optical head, an optical recording and reproducing method, and a skew detection method suitable for use with an optical recording medium capable of recording and / or reproducing with radiation of near-field light. Background technique [0002] Optical recording media (or magneto-optical recording media) represented by CD (Compact Disc), MD (Mini Disc) and DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) are widely used as storage media to store music information, video information, data, programs, etc. . In systems for recording and reproducing these optical recording media, it has been customary for the objective lens to be opposed to the recording surface of the optical recording medium in a non-contact manner, to Pit and bump or phase change material reflectance change structure to read very small recording marks. If the recording medium is a magneto-optical recording medium, it has be...
