ABSTRACT:
An optical pick-up for an optical disk has a semiconductor laser having an optical axis for generating a laser beam. An objective lens focuses the laser beam onto an optical disk disposed in the path of the optical axis of the semiconductor laser. A wavelength between the semiconductor laser and the objective lens has a plurality of input grating couplers for coupling the laser beam reflected from the optical disk into the waveguide for propagating beams in a plurality of directions. A plurality of output grating couplers radiate the propagated beams from the waveguide. A plurality of photodetectors detect the radiated beams from the output grating couplers.
