ABSTRACT:
A DVD laser emits a first light beam, and a CD laser emits a second light beam. An optical diffraction element diffracts first and second reflected lights corresponding to the first and second light beams, respectively. An optical detection element detects the first and second reflected lights reflected from a polarizing beam splitter. The optical axes of the CD and DVD lasers are set to diverge from each other. Thus, reflected light components necessary for focusing and tracking of a CD and a DVD are all detected by a detection element.
