A diffracting portion is disposed in an optical path between a light source and an optical disc. The diffracting portion diffracts the reflected light from recording layers of the optical disc toward a light receiving portion. The diffracting portion includes a first diffraction region having a first diffraction efficiency and a second diffraction region having a second diffraction efficiency lower than the first diffraction efficiency. The first diffraction region includes a FES diffracting portion and first to fourth TES diffracting portions. The second diffraction region includes fifth and sixth TES diffracting portions. First-order diffraction lights from the non-light-collecting recording layer enter on the fifth and the sixth TES diffracting portions, and are diffracted toward the light receiving portion by the fifth and the sixth TES diffracting portions.
