irradiating a light on a recording medium which has a
recording surface with a land and a groove, and
detecting a reproduced signal from a reflected light
received from the recording medium, is constructed to
include a first optical element (6) separating the
reflected light received from the recording medium
into at least three bundles of rays, a second optical
element (7) compensating phases of the bundles of rays
separated by the first optical element, and a third
optical element (8) detecting polarization states of
the bundles of rays separated by the first optical
element. An amount of phase compensation made by the
second optical element is such that an absolute value
of a difference between an amount of phase
compensation required to reproduce a signal from the
land and an amount of phase compensation required to
reproduce a signal from the groove is greater than or
equal to 60° but less than or equal to 180°.

Abstract: In an optical transmission system a transmitter (2) generates a sequence of time domain division multiplexed pulses and transmits them via an optical transmission medium (4) to a receiver (6). In the receiver (6) the received optical multiplex signal is applied to an optical demultiplexer (30) and to a clock recovery element (48). The clock recovery element (48) generates optical clock pulses which are used to control optically controlled optical switches (32.....38) which demultiplex the optical signal. The optical clock recovery circuit is based on a laser which is mode locked by the received optical signal. The mode locked laser comprises an optical amplifier (50) having its output coupled to its input by a feedback loop comprising a polarization controller (52), a saturable absorber (61), a coupling element (56) and an adjustable delay (51). The received optical signal is coupled into the feedback loop by means of the coupling element (56). The saturable absorber (61) comprises a 3dB, 90° coupling element (54) being coupled to a secondary loop. Said secondary loop comprises an attenuator (60) and an amplifier (62). The amplifier (62) is placed asymmetrically in the secondary loop. Due to the non-linearity in the secondary loop, the optical pulses propagating in the secondary loop interfere destructively for low signal levels, and interfere constructively for high signal levels.
