Abstract
Method of adjusting optics of an optical pickup using a light-emitting-and-receiving device comprising a semiconductor substrate on which a light-emitting portion and a light-receiving portion are integrally formed. The light-receiving portion consists of a first array and a second array of light-emitting elements. These two arrays are in line in the tracking direction of an optical disk. The light-emitting elements of each array are arrayed in the radial direction of the disk. The output signals from the light-emitting elements of these two arrays are summed up to produce a control signal. The position of the light-emitting-and-receiving device is adjusted in response to the control signal.
