Abstract
In order to achieve further cost reduction while the package size of an optical pickup having two objective lenses and the restriction on the disposition of the two objective lenses are maintained, an optical system for laser light emitted from a red/infrared dual-wavelength laser diode is disposed such that a parallel plate beam splitter is disposed to be inclined with respect to the optical axis of focused light of the laser light reflected by an optical disk and the optical axis of the laser light between a rising mirror and the parallel plate beam splitter is inclined from the signal track direction of the optical disk. The laser light to which astigmatism is given by transmission through the parallel plate beam splitter is caused to be directly incident on a light detector without passing through an astigmatism adjustment optical element.
