Disclosed is an optical head in which position adjustment of a photodetector light receiving surface or component parts may be simplified, production costs may be reduced and operational reliability may be improved. The optical head includes a light source 22 , radiating light of a preset wavelength, an objective lens 27 for condensing the outgoing light from the light source 22 on an optical disc 2 and for condensing the return light from the optical disc 2 , a beam splitter 25 for branching the optical path of the return light reflected by the optical disc 2 , and for collimating the branched return light so as to be parallel to the outgoing light from the light source 22 , a composite optical component including a splitting prism 30 arranged on a site of incidence of the branched return light for spatially splitting the return light, and a light receiving unit for receiving plural return light beams spatially split by the splitting prism 30 for producing focusing error signals.
