ABSTRACT:
Light from a semiconductor laser is converged by an objective lens onto an optical disk, and return light thereof is directed to a light receiving element by a three-division hologram element. The light receiving element includes a two-division main light receiving region for detecting a focus error signal and sub light receiving regions respectively provided on both sides of the main light receiving region for compensating the focus error signal. Based on output signals of the above main and sub light receiving regions, a focus error signal is detected. Note that it is arranged that the sub light receiving regions receive the return light from the optical disk and hence output signals only when the objective lens defocuses being positioned outside a dynamic range. Therefore, with the use of outputs of the sub light receiving regions, the focus error signal is quickly converged to 0, when the objective lens is positioned outside the dynamic range. As a result, even during a focus servo with respect to a multilayer optical disk wherein recording layers are provided at small intervals, it is possible to obtain an accurate focalizing position of the objective lens since respective focus error signals, obtained with respect to each recording layer, do not interfere each other.
