ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an optical structure of an optical pickup for adjusting an exit light quantity of a light source, so as not to have adverse effect on reliability of semiconductor laser to be suited to the quantity of light. The exit light quantity of the light source is adjusted in consideration of a difference in reflectivity of optical discs used in recording or reproducing. With this configuration, when composing a compatible optical pickup for recording or reproducing BD and HD DVD by using light diffraction means of diffraction type, the reliability of semiconductor laser used as light source is enhanced with respect to diffraction efficiency.
