ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an optical pickup and an optical disc drive that records or reproduces data signals on or from optical discs different in specifications, such as recording density and thickness. One objective lens (17) is used for optical discs (22a,22b) of two types that differ in specifications. The optical pickup and the optical disc drive comprise two light source sections (24a,24b) and a lens-supporting mechanism (15). The light source sections emit two laser beams of different wavelengths, respectively. The lens-supporting mechanism (15) controls the position of the objective lens (17) in the radial direction of the discs and along the optical axis. The lens-supporting mechanism (15) has a lens-inclination adjusting mechanism (30) capable of changing an angle at which the objective lens (17) is inclined to the optical axis, substantially in proportion to a displacement of the optical disc of the first type from the reference point in the signal-recording plane of the optical disc of the first type.
