Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the measurement of beam waste at a high accuracy in a short time, by providing a plurality of slits vertical to the optical axis of a laser beam emitted from the optical head. CONSTITUTION:A transparent disk 50 is arranged so that it transverses the optical axis of a laser beam 12 emitted from an objective lens 11 of an optical head 10. The disk 50 turns with a slight surface deviation and a number of non-transparent reflection films are provided thereon radially from the center thereof at an equal space to form a slit 51. A laser beam 12 passes through the slit 51 to be received with a sensor 60 while a part thereof is reflected and returned to the optical head 10 to a focus sensor 101. Then a differentiator 70 is connected to the sensor 60 while a differential amplifier 80 done to a focus sensor 101 and both outputs thereof can be observed with an oscilloscope 90. Thus, the beam waste can be measured at a high accuracy in a short time.

However, with this beam waist measuring device, the knife must be moved in all Y-Y' directions to the minimum beam waist position, which requires a highly accurate feeding mechanism (Qt) and takes a lot of time to measure. However, since it is difficult to confirm that the measurement position is the minimum beam waist position, there is a problem in measurement accuracy. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to develop an optical beam that can measure the entire beam waist of an optical head with high precision and in a short time. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method for measuring the waist of a light beam in which the focus sensor of the optical head can be easily set to the optimum position. Means for Solving] In the optical beam waist measurement method according to the present invention,
A plurality of slits are tilted with respect to the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the laser beam emitted from the optical head, and the laser beam is passed through all of these slits, and the passing laser beam is received by the sensor. The beam waist is measured by differentiating the output and detecting the peak of the differential output.

The disk 50 is rotated with a slight flattening, and slits 51 are formed thereon by providing a large number of opaque reflective films radially from the center at equal intervals. The laser beam 12 passes through the sleeve l-51i and is received by the sensor 60, and a portion thereof is reflected back to the optical head 10 and reaches the shift focus sensor 101. A differentiator 70 is connected to the sensor 60, a differential amplifier 80 is connected to the focus sensor 101, and both outputs are observed with an oscilloscope 90. has a slight surface misalignment, so slit 5 on the disc
01, 502, 503, 504 and 505 will intersect A, B, C, D and E't- respectively. By passing the output of the sensor 60 through the total differentiator 70, an output differential waveform 200 as shown in FIG. Section 210 is the minimum beam waist, and the beam waist diameter can be calculated in the same way as in the conventional example by measuring the entire time width Δt of the waveform in FIG. .

Furthermore, when observing this waveform, as shown in FIG. 3, by observing it together with the focus error signal 300 after passing through a fully differential amplifier, which is the output of the focus sensor using the Knifetzge method installed in the optical head, the focus sensor can be determined. Since the optimal setting position can be visually confirmed at the same time as the beam waist, it is easy to match the peak value of the differential waveform with high precision.
