Summary :

Integrated detection optics for magnetooptical (MO) disk pickup are proposed. The pickup consists of a waveguids device, external lenses, a beam splitter and a laser diode. The detection optics is constructed by integrating a trifocal focusing grating coupler and five photodiode elements in a glass-film waveguide on a Si substrate. The design considerations and fabrication are described, and experimental results are reported. The wavelength bandwidth of the devices are discussed in relation to the wavelength instability of laser diode. Although the obtained performances are not sufficient for practical application, the elementary functions, i.e., MO signal readout, focusing error detection and stabilization by multimode LD, were successfully demonstrated in the simulation experiments.
