ABSTRACT:
An optical pickup device provides ultraresolving prism between a semiconductor laser and an objective lens so as to reduce light intensity at around a cross sectional center of a laser beam, thereby generating ultraresolution thereon. An optical detector is disposed at a signal detecting position where the laser beam reflected by an optical disk is converged. The optical detector has a detecting element for receiving a main lobe and a pair of detecting elements for receiving a pair of side lobes. A peak of a shielding portion of the prism is inclined to a track center of the optical disk so that the side lobes are oppositely shifted from the track center. Thus, tracking error signals are obtained on the basis of detected signals in the side lobes.
