Abstract

A focus and tracking error system in which a light source such as a laser diode, a beam splitter, a collimating lens, a focussing lens, a 3-beam splitter, a beam diverter, and an optical detector pass a beam to a data media track, with the beam reflecting from the track into a 3-beam splitter, such as a Wollaston prism, through a beam diverter, such as a bi-wedge into an optical detector to form a pair of differential signals for the focussing error, and positioning, reflectivity data signals, and magneto-optical signals.
