An optical head is provided which is capable of realizing a stable tracking control, even if the rotational center of an information recording medium is not located on the extension line of the transfer directions of a light-concentrating element. This optical head includes: a semiconductor laser which emits a beam of light; an objective lens which concentrates the beam of light on an optical disk; a transfer mechanism which transfers the objective lens between the outermost circumference and the innermost circumference of the recording area of the optical disk along the optical disk; and a photo-detector which detects a beam of light that returns from the optical disk. The photo-detector includes a plurality of areas which are divided by a division line. The division line is set parallel to the tangential directions of the track in a predetermined position on the transfer line of the objective lens between the outermost circumference and the innermost circumference of the recording area, and the plurality of areas are divided, by a lateral division line which intersects the division line, into a first area on which a beam of light that mainly includes a tracking component is incident and a second area on which a beam of light that does not include the tracking component is incident.

An optical head device includes a light blocking region (7y) which is disposed on a light flux of a reflected light beam resulting from reflection by a recording layer on which a blue light beam is focused, and blocks, when there are at least two recording layers on a blue light beam incident side of the recording layer on which the blue light beam is focused or on a side thereof opposite to the blue light beam incident side, reflected light beams resulting from reflection by the at least two recording layers which are incident on a region in a photodetector (9) where the reflected light beams resulting from the reflection by the at least two recording layers interfere with each other. The light blocking region (7y) is not formed on an optical axis of the reflected light beam resulting from the reflection by the recording layer on which the blue light beam is focused. This configuration allows an improvement in the S/N ratio of a signal outputted from the photodetector.
