Abstract

An optical pickup for detecting a distance to an optical disk on which information is optically stored includes a tracking error detecting device for detecting a tracking error by receiving a part of the light reflected from the disk and a focusing error detecting device for detecting the remaining part of the light reflected from the disk, structured such that the tracking error detecting device receives 60% or more of the reflected light.
