Abstract
An object of the present invention is to reduce the influence of a stray light incident on a light receiving device by reflection of an unnecessary diffraction light not contributing to write or read on a disc surface at write or read of an optical disc having a large surface reflectivity with respect to an information recording surface. A position in which a diffraction light with an n-order in an advancing path and the n-order in a returning path, reflected on the information recording surface of a first information recording medium, is focused by a condensing lens is different from a position in which a diffraction light different from the n-order diffraction light in at least one of the advancing path and the returning path, reflected on a surface of the first information recording medium, is focused by the condensing lens.
