ABSTRACT:
While supporting an optical disc having a recording density that is higher than conventional optical discs by shortening the wavelength of the emitted light and increasing the numerical aperture (NA) of an objective lens, a reduction in the size of an optical pickup apparatus relative to the size of a disc cartridge that houses the optical disc is achieved. The present invention includes a fixed optical system having a built-in light source, and a movable optical system having an objective lens. A parallel light beam that enters the movable optical system from the fixed optical system enters the movable optical system via a light path that is parallel to the direction in which the objective lens is movable and from the side on which a spindle motor is provided.
