Abstract

In an optical type head device comprising a light source for emitting a light beam, a beam splitter, a condensor lens and a light detector for receiving said light beam for photoelectric conversion wherein a diffraction grating is provided to separate the light beam into a plurality of subbeams consisting of a zero-order subbeam and other subbeams so that a focussing error of the spot of the zero-order subbeam on an optical type data storing medium is detected by the fact that the light spot of the zero-order subbeam is deformed on the light detector, and a positional error of the spot of the zero-order subbeam with respect to a data track on the optical type data storing medium is detected depending on the position of the spots of the other subbeams.
