<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve quality of a reproduction RF signal and a servo control signal. <P>SOLUTION: An optical path of a light beam 40 is changed over between an HD optical path Rh or a BD optical path Rb by switching transmission or reflection of a polarization plane 34A of a polarizing beam splitter 34 by utilizing the difference in polarization direction of the light beam 40. An optical disk device 20 shields an unnecessary light beam 40a incident on the other optical path not being used by a shielding area 36Ab when irradiating the optical disk 100 with the light beam 40 using one optical path. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
