An optical pickup capable of reducing cross-talk due to signal interference of adjacent tracks of an optical medium during playback of a radio frequency (RF) signal from a main track of the optical recording medium. In the optical pickup, optical spots can be converged on the main track and the adjacent tracks of the recording medium without a time lag, wherein different polarized component beams are focused as a primary optical spot and secondary optical spots on the main and adjacent tracks, respectively, of the optical recording medium. Thus, the primary optical spot and the secondary optical spots, which have different polarized components, can be separately received by different light receiving portions. Also, the optical spots are photoelectrically converted in the light receiving portions and are differentially amplified through multiplication using a predetermined operation constant, thereby reducing cross-talk from a detected RF signal. For the convergence of optical spots on the adjacent tracks without time lag relative to the optical spot formed on the major track, a beam shaping unit having a shield plate, or transmission or reflection type phase difference prism is adopted.
