An optical pickup, installed in an optical or magneto-optical disc driver, for reproducing/recording optical information is disclosed. The optical pickup is of a subminiature united body type and very light weight, high speed seek, and is composed of an optical system including a hologram lens element. The hologram of the lens element is formed of a predetermined pattern which diffracts a spherical wave and focuses reflected light from the disc onto a detector offset from the light source. This optical pickup can reproduce optical information having no interference and detect focus and track errors without an optical element separating the incident light and reflected light by a hologram pattern. Accordingly, a very light, subminiature optical pickup composed of an optical system having one lens element is provided. |
