Abstract
A diffraction element for use in an optical pick-up is capable of calculating a TE signal more stably irrespective of any assembly error in optical elements. The diffraction element of the invention is divided into three areas, a first, a second, and a third area. Each area comprises a diffraction grating with a predetermined period, and the second area is provided between the first area and the third area. The diffraction grating of the first area is substantially parallel to the diffraction grating of the third area, and the diffraction grating of the second area is substantially perpendicular to the diffraction gratings of the first and the third area.
