Abstract
An optical pickup () includes a light emitting element (), a holding member (), a light receiving element (), and a base (). The holding member () is fixed to the base () by a combined bonding portion (). The combined bonding portion () is sandwiched between the holding member () and the base () so as to fix the holding member () to the base (). The combined bonding portion () includes a first bonding portion () composed of a first adhesive and a second bonding portion () composed of a second adhesive having a higher curing shrinkage rate than the first adhesive. The first bonding portion () and the second bonding portion () are each sandwiched between the holding member () and the base (), and the second bonding portion () is provided to cover at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the first bonding portion (). A difference between the curing shrinkage rate of the first adhesive and that of the second adhesive is 3.0% or less.
