A position detecting apparatus comprising a magnet secured to a movable body (lens holder) which is movable along a shaft body when the shaft body is inserted, the magnet having polarity which is alternately magnetized at a predetermined interval, and a magneto-resistance effect element which is positioned and fixed so as to be confronted to the magnet at a predetermined gap interval by an MR holder with the shaft body being used as a securing position reference, and the magneto-resistance effect element serving to obtain a position detection signal for the movable body through variation of a resistance value thereof which is caused by magnetic field of the magnet through movement of the movable body.

A device in which an offset is added to a focusing error signal to control an objective lens and thereby reduce the generation of cross-talk when a beam spot that is converged on an optical disk crosses over a wall of a groove of a track of the disk. By adding the offset to the focusing error signal, the objective lens is moved out of focus with the disk. Thus, the shape of a beam spot formed on a photo sensor is changed from a circle to an ellipse. A condenser lens provided for forming the beam spot is moved along the optical axis thereof in such a manner that an output of a recorded signal of the disk is at a maximum value. As a result, the objective lens is brought into focus on the disk. Thereafter, the objective lens is focused on the disk in accordance with the focusing error signal to which the offset is added, while maintaining the beam spot in the shape of an ellipse.

A signal sensing device is provided that includes an optical system having a first splitting function by which a beam reflected by a magneto-optic disk is split by a small amount, a second splitting function by which the beam is split into a P-polarized-component and an S-polarized-component, and a third splitting function by which the beam is split into a first optical path and a second optical path. The second splitting function is carried out by an optical element carrying out one of the first and third splitting functions. A first photo sensor is provided with a beam receiving area divided into four parts, and an undivided beam receiving area, and a second photo sensor is provided with a beam receiving area divided into two parts and an undivided beam receiving area. The beam receiving divided area of the first photo sensor receives the P-polarized-component and senses a focusing error signal, and the beam receiving divided area of the second photo sensor receives the S-polarized-component and senses a tracking error signal. The beam receiving undivided areas of the first and second photo sensors are provided for sensing an information record signal.

Disclosed is an optical system for an optical disk drive for reading/writing data from/in an optical disk. The optical system includes a light source emitting a parallel laser beam, a deflector having a rotatable mirror surface. The parallel laser beam emitted by the light source is incident on the mirror surface of the deflector and is deflected towards an objective lens system which faces the optical disk. A relay lens system is provided between the deflector and the objective lens system such that the mirror surface and a front principal plane of the objective lens system have a substantially conjugate relationship.

A light beam emitted from a laser diode passes through a polarization beam splitter, a movable mirror, a reference prism supported in a pair of rails, a sliding mirror and is incident on a cat's-eye optical system. The light beam reflected in the cat's-eye optical system returns to the polarization beam splitter along an optical path of the incident light beam, is separated by a polarizing separating plane and is directed to a television camera. The front surface of the reference prism is perpendicular to the rails. Thus, the light beam reflected at the front surface of the reference prism is directed to the television camera along an optical path which is inclined relative to the optical path of the incident light beam in accordance with the direction of the rails. Consequently, if the inclination of the movable mirror is adjusted such that the light spots of both of the reflected beams displayed on the monitor coincide, the optical path of the incident light beam is parallel to the rails.

An optical data recording and reproducing apparatus in which a beam spot is made incident upon recording tracks of an optical recording medium, so that the beam reflected from the optical recording medium is detected to obtain a data signal and a tracking error signal. The optical recording medium is a rotatable optical disc having a signal recording surface. The recording tracks include concentrically arranged recording track sectors formed on the signal recording surface of the optical disc and preformat portions provided between the adjacent recording track sectors. A beam shape setting device is provided to shape an image of the beam spot formed on the track sectors into a non-circular shape which is elongated in the circumferential direction of the optical disc.

An information recording and reproducing system comprises a host device, and an information recording and reproducing device connected with the host device via a host interface. The host device includes a control-command issuing unit issuing a control command to the information recording and reproducing device. The control command causes a data-recording interrupting-resuming unit of the information recording and reproducing device either or not to perform the interruption and resumption of the recording. The information recording and reproducing device includes a data-recording interruption-resumption control unit controlling the data-recording interrupting-resuming unit either or not to perform the interruption and resumption of the recording, according to the control command received from the host device. The interruption and resumption of the recording is performed by linking an end point of data upon the interruption with a start point of the data upon the resumption so as to maintain a continuity of the data.
