Optical pickup device and recording/reproduction device

摘要

An optical pickup device includes: a first light source for emitting recording laser light; a second light source for emitting reproducing laser light having a wavelength different from a wavelength of the recording laser light; an objective lens for converging the recording laser light and the reproducing laser light. A quarter wavelength plate is disposed between the first light source and the second light source, and the objective lens. A wavelength-selective polarized beam splitter is disposed between the quarter wavelength plate, and the first light source and the second light source. The reproducing laser light alone out of the recording laser light and the reproducing laser light reflected on recording medium is guided to a photodetector.
