Abstract

1392796 Optical playback apparatus TOKYO SHIBAURA ELECTRIC CO Ltd 31 May 1973 [31 May 1972 12 June 1972 20 July 1972 (2)] 25959/73 Heading G5R Optical apparatus for reproducing signals, particularly video signals, recorded as sinusoidal undulations in a groove comprises a source 11, e.g. a laser, emitting a beam 10 of coherent light which has a width along the groove no greater than the pitch of the undulations, which is of the order of microns; and detectors 21 for detecting reflected light. The incident beam is normal to disc 20 and is focused by a cylindrical lens 19 to a band extending transverse to the groove and of equal width. The two detectors 21 are spaced apart along one groove and comprise bundles of optical fibres directed at the illuminated area and forming an angle of at least 15 degrees with the incident beam. The difference in outputs from photo-multipliers 23 is derived by a circuit 25. The beam is centred laterally on the groove by means of two phototransistors 22 spaced radially, their difference signal derived at 26 controlling a reflector 16 to shift the incident beam. The record medium may be disc or tape.
