Abstract
A contacting pickup optical waveguide reproduction system and method for reproducing information carried on a recording medium. The recording medium is of the type having optically reflective pits formed in an information path. Information is stored as a function of pit modulation. The system includes an optical pickup adapted to slidably contact an information path along a recording medium and means for illuminating the pits. Optical waveguide means is provided for receiving illumination reflected by said pits and an optical-to-electrical energy transducer is coupled to said optical waveguide means. A particular embodiment includes a remote optical-to-electrical energy transducer.
