Optical pick-up apparatus

摘要

A compatible optical pick-up apparatus, which records to and/or reproduce from both digital versatile disc (DVD)-type optical disks and compact disc (CD)-type optical disks for improving a signal regeneration capacity and a tracking capacity in operation at a high temperature. A polarized hologram of the optical pick-up apparatus is divided into six diffraction regions. The rays of a first light diffracted at the first and second diffraction regions are separately received by divided parts of a first bisected light-receiving portion of a photodetector.
