Abstract

The light sensor includes: two laser diodes, which are used to emit light beams with different wavelengths; a diffraction grating, which is used to diffract each light beam into a zero-order diffraction beam and a positive and negative first-order diffraction beam; a holographic optical element, which is used to diffract from a light beam reflected by the recording medium; and a photoelectric device for receiving the light beam diffracted by the holographic optical element, wherein the photoelectric device for generating a tracking error signal and the photoelectric device for generating a focus error signal are arranged opposite to the laser diode side so as to face each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical sensor for recording and reproducing information on an optical recording medium, which uses light of different wavelengths for recording and reproducing. In particular, the present invention relates to a technique for acquiring a focus error signal and a tracking error signal with high stability. Background technique [0002] Cross References to Related Applications [0003] This application is based on Application No. 2004-283890 filed in Japan, and thus the contents of this application are incorporated by reference. [0004] In recent years, optical recording media such as CDs (Compact Discs) and DVDs have become widely popular. Optical recording media record and reproduce data using light of different wavelengths (for example, 780nm to 820nm for CDs, and 635nm to 680nm for DVDs). In consideration of user convenience, it is preferable that an optical sensor is capable of recording and reproducing data on...
