Head assembly for optical disc

摘要

An optical head assembly for recording information on an optical disc or for taking out information already recorded, the optical head assembly including a semiconductor substrate and a dielectric light conducting layer formed on the substrate, the light conducting layer being internally formed with optical elements for converging laser beam from a laser beam source onto the optical disc and directing the reflected beam from the optical disc surface toward a photo detector. Output signal from the photo detector is used for reading information and also for allowing the optical head assembly to trace a track on the optical disc.
