| 20090097381 | OPTICAL PICKUP AND OPTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS - A disclosed optical pickup for performing at least recording, reproduction, or deletion of information on a first, second, third, and fourth optical recording media having different recording densities includes a first light source configured to emit first light having a first wavelength λ | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090122422 | WIDE-ANGLE LENS AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS - A wide-angle lens is disclosed that includes a front lens group and a rear lens group that are arranged in order from an object side to an image side with an aperture being arranged between the front lens group and the rear lens group. The front lens group includes at least two lenses arranged toward the object side that have positive powers, and at least one lens arranged toward the image side that has a negative positive power. One of the lenses of the front lens group arranged second in order from the object side has a lens face that is arranged into an aspheric surface. The front lens group, the aperture, and the rear lens group make up an image forming system having an angle of view greater than 180 degrees. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090290198 | IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGE CORRECTION METHOD - An image processing unit generates image data of an image based on an output signal from an imaging device, corrects the image data, and outputs corrected image data. An optical filter is structured such that an upper limit of a transmitting wavelength decreases as a distance from an optical axis of the imaging optical system increases on an imaging plane of the imaging device so that a light in an infrared region is transmitted on the optical axis and cut off at a position farthest away from the optical axis on the imaging plane. The image processing unit corrects the image data based on a correction equation corresponding to the upper limit of the transmitting wavelength. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100135130 | OPTICAL PICKUP AND OPTICAL INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - A disclosed optical pickup includes an aberration correction unit with a phase shifter surface. On the phase shifter surface, rectangular or staircase-like steps are formed in a concentric manner around an optical axial center, in certain regions where a light beam passes through. The steps have different heights in the optical axial direction. A light beam having a wavelength of 405 nm is directly transmitted through the steps so that a phase difference is applied for correcting spherical aberration that occurs on a first optical recording medium. A light beam that passes through an annular region without any steps is focused on a second optical recording medium. A light beam that passes through an outside region is focused by an object lens on the second optical recording medium, and is not focused on the first optical recording medium. | 06-03-2010 |
