Abstract

To stably carry out recording and reproducing to and from a high density optical disk without using a double servo in the optical disk using a high NA objective lens. A detection of a spherical aberration and a detection of a coma aberration in a radial direction are simultaneously performed, and the coma aberration generated with the offset of an objective lens 109 is corrected in real time, thus enlarging an allowable offset amount of the objective lens. In order to simultaneously detect the spherical aberration and the coma aberration, focal shift and tracking shift signals in an inside region and outside region of reflected light flux are detected respectively, and the differential signals are set as spherical aberration and coma aberration signals.
