摘要:
The present invention provides a photodetector capable of generating highly accurate tracking and focusing error signals free of variations in light quantity caused by interference, in an optical pickup with a two-wavelength multilaser. The photodetector comprises first three light receiving areas arranged linearly to receive three light beams respectively resulting from splitting of a light beam emitted from a laser light source of a first wavelength and second three light receiving areas arranged linearly to receive three light beams respectively resulting from splitting of a light beam emitted from a laser light source of a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength. The distance between both-end light receiving areas out of the first three light receiving areas is longer than the distance between both-end light receiving areas out of the second three light receiving areas.

An optical pickup device is provided which reduces variations in amplitude of a tracking error signal in a seek operation due to an installation error of the optical pickup device onto an optical disk apparatus, thereby generating the tracking error signal with high accuracy without any influence from stray lights, and which is high in productivity and low cost. Two sub-light beams are focused on at least one of forward and backward sides in a rotational direction of the disk with respect to a main light beam focused on the disk. When n is an integer number, and t is a distance between guide grooves of the disk, the two sub-light beams focused are spaced apart from each other by a distance of t×(n+0.5) in the radial direction of the optical disk. As splitting means for splitting the light beams into a plurality of beams, a diffraction grating is used which has grid grooves spaced apart at equal intervals, but having different angles at the upper and lower parts of an exiting surface of the light beam.

An optical pickup includes a diffraction grating partitioned into three areas, in which the phase of periodic grating groove structure in an area is successively shifted from that in the adjacent area by 90°. In the generation of a differential push-pull signal, an amplification factor K for sub push-pull signals is varied depending on the type of the optical disk. By such composition of the optical pickup, amplitude deterioration of the tracking error signal accompanying displacement of the object lens is reduced.
