Abstract
Micro-mirror device and an optical pick-up system of the same, the optical pick up system including a light source module for emitting a light, a first and a second focusing parts for focusing the light emitted from the light source module onto a surface of an optical recording medium, and a micro-mirror device between the first and second focusing parts for fine adjustment of a position of the light incident through the first focusing part, reflecting to the optical recording medium through the second focusing part, sensing the light re-reflected at the optical recording medium, and converting into an electrical signal, thereby permitting fabrication of a micro optical system by integrating/packing optical components, such as the mirror, the optical signal detecting photodiode, and the beam positioning device, saving a production cost by using silicon semiconductor fabrication process and micro-machining, and enhancing a positioning preciseness of the light by coupling micro actuator for driving the mirror.
