Abstract

A holographic unit for applying light to a recording medium comprises an optical path, a first optical diffracting member, a second optical diffracting member, an optical condensing member, a first entrance/exit surface disposed at a predetermined first angle to a first reflecting surface, and a second entrance/exit surface disposed at a predetermined second angle to a second reflecting surface to project a plurality of light beams so that the plurality of light beams fall on a position sensing track formed on a recording medium perpendicularly to the surface of the recording medium.
