    Abstract: A focus detection system for use in a multi-beam optical pickup assembly is provided that uses an optical element, either a holographic element or diffractive element, to split beams reflected off of a data-bearing surface of an optical disk into a plurality of data beams and a plurality of focus beams. The optical element also introduces astigmatism into the focus beams. The focus beams are projected onto focus detectors configured to account for overlap between adjacent focus beams to produce an accurate focus error signal.

    Abstract: Focussing system methods and apparatus are provided for apparatus capable of simultaneously reading multiple tracks of an optical disk. Astigmatism introduced by a cylindrical lens disposed adjacent to the light source, or before the focus detectors arranged at the edge of a wide-area field of illumination, is used to compute an error signal corresponding to the degree of out-of-focus, which error signal is provided to a servo-system that moves the objective lens to correct the focus. An alternative embodiment employs a pair of focus detectors and a pair of micro-lenses having different focal lengths that directs the reflected light onto the focus detectors to generate a focus correction signal. Further alternative embodiments of employing the astigmatism method of focussing are described.

    Abstract: An optical pickup for simultaneously reading a plurality of data tracks of an optical storage medium is provided. The optical pickup uses a diffractive element to split an illumination beam into a plurality of reading beams which are projected onto a plurality of tracks of the optical storage medium. Apparatus and methods are shown for improving the optical characteristics of the optical pickup by reducing vignetting, optical aberrations, and field curvature. These improvements are achieved by relocating the diffractive element at a greater distance from the laser source, so that a diffractive element having a larger period, and a smaller angle between diffractive orders may be used. The apparatus and methods shown also reduce the number of components and the manufacturing cost of the optical pickup.
