<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical pickup and an optical disk device which are advantageous to cost reduction and size reduction and advantageous to the simplification of a wiring pattern and the improvement of productivity. <P>SOLUTION: The light receiving surface of a light receiving means is constituted of a single light receiving surface and the light receiving surface 28 is constituted of a plurality of divided light receiving surfaces separated by shielding bands 32, 34. When the center position of an optical spot formed on the light receiving surface 28 by a detected optical beam coincides with the center position of the light receiving surface 28, the sum of power monitoring signals based on the detecting optical beam received by respective divided light receiving surfaces is minimized. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
