    Abstract: An optical pickup device having a semiconductor laser element (5) mounted on a substrate (2), a photo detector (3) formed on the substrate to receive a laser beam emitted from the semi-conductor laser element (2) and an optical element (6) mounted on the substrate to cover the photo detector to branch the direction of optical path of the laser beam. The optical element (6) is adapted to reduce the amount of unwanted stray light from the laser (5) reaching the photo detector (3). The rear face (6f) of the element (6) is coated with light absorption material (14) to substantially prevent said incident light from being reflected into the photo detector (3). The light absorption material (14) is chosen to absorb light of the wavelength(s) emitted by the laser element. The material (14) preferably has the same refractive index as the element (6).

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To correct the asymmetry between a beam spot formed in the focus deviation direction and a recording track and to improve the correlation between the focus deviation value and the displacements of various characteristics of an optical pickup device by setting a semiconductor laser element so as to tilt the meridional surface of the light beam projected on an optical disk in the tangent direction of the recording track of the optical disk by a prescribed angle. CONSTITUTION:The light beam radiated from a light transmission/reception composite element 3 is made incident on an objective lens and then projected on a signal recording surface of an optical disk 101. In the case, the element 3 is set so that the meridional surface of the light beam is set by a prescribed angle, i.e., about 45 deg. to the tangent direction of a recording track of the disk 101. Thus it is possible to correct the asymmetricalness defined on the basis of the tangent of a beam spot produced on the disk 101 according to the focus deviation direction. As a result, the characteristic of an optical pickup device are improved to the focus deviation.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit which eliminates offsets included in the tracking signal error, which are computed by a push-pull system.
    SOLUTION: A tracking error signal computing circuit 20 has peak detection/multiplying circuits 22 and 26 which detect peaks of detection signals E and F of the left and the right regions of photodiodes to detect deviation of a beam light from the track of a disk recording medium and multiply a coefficient K, subtracting circuits 24 and 28 which subtract the multiplication results from the respective detection signals E and F to eliminate the offsets, and a subtracting circuit 30 which computes the difference of the signals from which offsets are eliminated (by conducting push-pull computations) so as to output a tracking error signal TPP(TE). The value of the coefficient K can be varied by adding an alignment signal AL to the detection signals E and F. In order to provide frequency dependency onto the coefficient K, the alignment signal AL is added to the signals E or F through a filter.
