ABSTRACT:
An optical pickup device with the capability to read data from and write data to different kinds of optical discs in different formats and a composite optical device used in the optical pickup device. An optical pickup device is made by combining two laser couplers LC1 and LC2 that are designed for optimum read/write specifications for optical discs which are different in format from each other. In one embodiment, two laser couplers LC1 and LC2 are incorporated on a common photodiode IC to form a single laser coupler, and the laser coupler is used in an optical pickup device.
