Abstract

An optical pickup apparatus which reduces cross talk by adjacent tracks. The optical pickup apparatus divides light reflected from an optical recording medium as a spot into center and side portions defined with respect to the radial direction of the recording medium and provides electrical signals corresponding to the reflected light in divided form. An operation unit multiplies signals corresponding to the side portions by an operation constant, adds the multiplication results and the detected signal of the center portion, and outputs an information signal of a main track with reduced cross talk by adjacent tracks in real time. The optical efficiency is sufficient that recording of an information signal can be performed with the optical pickup.
