An optical pickup apparatus is provided with: a light source (20) for emitting a light beam; an optical system (21 22, 24, 25, 26, 27), which comprises an optical element (24) having an incident surface (24a), to which an AR (Anti-Reflection) coat is not applied and to which the light beam emitted from the light source is inputted obliquely by a predetermined incident angle, for guiding one portion of the emitted light beam transmitted through the incident surface onto an information record medium (32) and guiding a reflection light of one portion of the emitted light beam reflected from the information record medium, and also reflecting another portion of the emitted light beam by the incident surface; a main light detector (30) for receiving the reflection light from the information record medium guided by the optical system and outputting a main detection signal corresponding to record information recorded on the information record medium; a monitor detector (23) for receiving another portion of the emitted light beam reflected by the incident surface of the optical element and outputting a monitor detection signal corresponding to a light amount received by the monitor detector; and a controlling device (31) for controlling an output power of the light beam emitted from the light source on the basis of the monitor detection signal. <IMAGE> |
