Abstract
A pick-up device which includes a light source and a condenser lens for effecting recording and reproduction of information by projecting a light beam as collected by the condenser lens onto a recording medium. A diffraction grating is provided between the light source and the condenser lens for dividing light returning from the recording medium by a diffraction grating so as to be directed to a photo-detector, to thereby obtain an optical detection signal.
