Abstract

An optical pick-up having a high-density double diffraction grating constructed with two high-density diffraction gratings superposed on each other wherein polarized light rays are separated so that P-polarized light rays pass through the double diffraction grating and S-polarized light rays are diffracted. The optical pick-up is disposed in the optical path between a light source and a recording medium.
