Optical device.

摘要

In an optical device an objective (11) can be moved relative to a frame (1) along its optical axis (13) in parallel guide means (3, 5) by means of an electro-magnetic actuating device. The actuating device comprises first actuating means (21) connected to the frame and second actuating means (23) connected to the objective (11) and which cooperate with said first actuating means via an air gap (25). When used as a focussing device in an optical disc player, the reactive forces on the first means may generate mechanical vibration in the player which can degrade tracking and thereby increase the risk of cross-talk between adjacent tracks. To reduce vibration, the first actuating means (21) are arranged in a mount (27) which is supported by a leaf-spring-shaped damping element (29) which is secured to the frame (1).
