Abstract
A compatible optical pickup includes an optical disc, an objective lens, a diffractive device, and a divergent lens. The optical unit emits a short wavelength light beam corresponding to a high density optical disc and a long wavelength light beam corresponding to a low density optical disc. The objective lens forms a light spot on the high density optical disc and the low density optical disc and the diffractive device diffracts the short wavelength light beam to correct chromatism according to a change in a wavelength of the short wavelength light beam. The divergent lens refracts the long wavelength light beam toward the objective lens to increase a working distance with respect to the low density optical disc.
