ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning device for scanning an information layer of an optical record carrier and including a rotary aim (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502) which is arranged to swing about a rotation axis (CR) to alter an angular position of the rotary arm about the rotation axis; a detector arrangement (10) arranged separate from the rotary arm (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502) for detecting a radiation beam spot, the radiation beam spot (40; 140; 240; 340; 440; 540) having an angular disposition; a first reflective surface (4; 104; 204; 304; 404; 504) attached to the rotary arm (2; 102; 202; 302; 402; 502); a second reflective surface (6; 106; 206; 306; 406; 506) attached to the rotary arm (2; 102; 302; 402; 502); a first light path (LP1; LP1O1; LP201; LP301; LP401; LP501; running from a location on the record carrier to said first reflective surface; a second light path (LP2; LP102; LP202; LP302; LP402; LP502) running from said first reflective surface to said second reflective surface; a third light path (LP3; LP103; LP203; LP303; LP403; LP503) running from said second reflective surface to said detector arrangement (10). The rotary arm includes at least one optical inversion element (52; 54; 56; 58; 64; 66) arranged such that a dependence between variation of the angular disposition of the radiation beam spot and variation of the angular position of the rotary arm is reduced.
