PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize a change in a transverse magnification even if correcting spherical aberration. SOLUTION: An optical pickup comprises a light source 2 for emitting a laser beam; a group of at least one coupling lens 3 for converting the angle of divergence of the laser beam emitted from the light source 2; a group of at least one objective lens 5 for condensing the incident laser beam whose angle of divergence is converted by the group of coupling lenses 3 onto the signal recording surface of an optical disk; and a light source movement means for correcting the spherical aberration by moving the light source 2 in the direction of an optical axis for contacting or separating from the group of coupling lenses 3. In this case, the distance from the main plane of the group of coupling lenses 3 to the group of objective lenses 5 becomes equal to the distance, where the focal distance of the group of coupling lenses 3 is added to that of the group of objective lenses 5.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain stable tracking by eliminating an offset of a tracking error signal due to movement of a stray light spot on a photodetector face resulting from a lateral movement of an objective lens at tracking of a track and from a position deviation of the photodetector. SOLUTION: A signal of an auxiliary reflection beam detected by a photo detector 2 is converted into a voltage signal by a current voltage conversion amplifier 4 and the voltage signal is fed to an upward envelope detector 6 and a subtractor 8. The amount of a stray light due to lateral movement of an objective lens to the photo detector 2 is changed and the upper envelope detector 6 extracts the fluctuation component and the subtractor 8 eliminates it. Similarly the fluctuation component of a stray light is eliminated from a detection signal of other auxiliary reflection beam of a photo detector 3 similarly and a difference signal by a subtractor 10 is given to an LPF 11 and a tracking error signal is outputted. Thus, the offset of the tracking error signal is eliminated to attain stable track control.
