    Abstract: A front photo detector (FPD) of an optical pick-up for an optical recording and playing apparatus having no gain selection switch, a simplified configuration, an improved prevention of an abnormal operation due to an error in gain selection, and improved reliability. The front photo detector includes a photo diode unit, a current-voltage amplifying circuit, and a voltage amplifying unit. The photo diode unit outputs current proportional to the power of the light emitted from one of a plurality of laser diodes. The current-voltage amplifying circuit converts the current output from the photo diode unit into a voltage. The voltage amplifying circuit amplifies the voltage output from the current-voltage amplifying circuit by a predetermined gain.

    Abstract: A compatible optical pickup, including first and second light sources for emitting lights with different wavelengths and first and second photodetectors for detecting an information signal and/or an error signal, and a method of detecting the amount of output light using the compatible optical pickup. The first and second photodetectors monitor the amount of light output from the second and first light sources respectively such that no extra front photodetectors are required. Thus, the number of optical component parts included in the optical pickup can be reduced, thereby lowering the manufacturing costs for the optical pickup. Also, there is no need to secure a space in a base where a front photodetector is to be installed, so the base is simplified. Thus, inferior moldings are reduced, and the durability of a mold can be prolonged.

    Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical pickup and a signal processor. The optical pickup includes an optical splitting device which splits light emitted from a first light source into a main light beam and sub-light beams which are symmetrical with respect to the main light beam and irradiates the split light beams on a recording medium, and a light detection device which receives the main light beam and the sub-light beams reflected by the recording medium, so as to detect a tracking error signal in a three-beam method and one of a push-pull method and an improved push-pull method. The signal processor receives the detection signals output by the light detection device and detects the tracking error signal in the three-beam method and one of the push-pull method and the improved push-pull method, and otherwise selectively detects the tracking error signal in one of the three-beam method, the push-pull method and the improved push-pull method, so as to realize an optimal tracking servo-control. Since a selective use of one of the improved push-pull method, the push-pull method and the three-beam method can be made according to the type of an optical disc, the optimal tracking servo-control can be realized regardless of the depth of a pit in an optical disc during a reproduction of data from the optical disc, such as a non-rewritable optical disc.

    Abstract: An optical pickup using a two-wavelength light source module includes a light source module, a collimating lens, and a first optical element. The light source module includes first and second light sources which emit first and second light beams of different wavelengths and are formed in a single package. The collimating lens directs the first and/or second light beams into convergent light or divergent light so that the convergent light or the divergent light is incident on the objective lens. The optical pickup is a finite optical system due to the collimating lens. The first optical element is disposed on the traveling paths of the first and second light beams, operates as a lens only for one of the first and second light beams, and corrects a position difference between the first and second light sources along a traveling direction of light. The optical pickup further includes a second optical element which is disposed on the traveling paths of the first and second light beams and matches traveling optical axes of the first and second light beams with each other.
