Abstract

A six-segment holographic surface is divided into regions by dividing lines. A four-segment photodetection part is divided into four photodetection parts equal in area by a section line substantially parallel to the radial direction of an optical disk and a section line orthogonal thereto. A main light beam diffracted in the regions of the six-segment holographic surface are condensed as spots at positions apart from each other on opposite sides on a section line of the four photodetection parts, and the main beam diffracted in the regions is condensed as spots in the center of the photodetection parts of the four-segment photodetection part.
