Abstract
Disclosed is an optical pickup apparatus being manufactured with ease and utilizing the intensity of a laser beam effectively. The optical pickup apparatus comprises a polygonal prism having an upper surface, an incline surface, and a bottom surface. A laser beam emitted from laser source is reflected by the incline surface of the prism and is converged on an optical disc. Then, the reflected laser beam reflected by the optical disc is transmitted through the incline surface of the prism and is reflected by a Fresnel lens at the bottom surface of the prism and finally is focused on the photodetector. The optical pickup apparatus records and reproduces information on and from the optical disc and performs as a focusing servo and a tracking servo of the objective lens by utilizing data of the reflected information beam received by the photodetector.
