ABSTRACT:
A light detecting apparatus includes a first photodetector for receiving 0threflected light from a first information surface, a second photodetector proximate to the first photodetector for receiving the reflected light of a positive higher-order diffracted light from the first information surface, and a third photodetector proximate to the first photodetector for receiving the reflected light of a negative higher-order diffracted light from the first information surface. Light-receiving areas of the second and the third photodetectors include other-order light receiving areas that receive reflected light of the 0thorder light from a second information surface where the 0thorder light is not be focused, and wherein portions of the other-order light receiving areas of the second and the third photodetectors include light reception prohibited areas that prohibit the reception of the reflected light of the 0thorder light from the second information surface.
