Abstract

In an optical pickup capable of removing inter-layer crosstalk, a dark line that may appear in a central portion of a beam is removed. Thereby, an error in a data signal is reduced. Reflected light from a multi-layer disc is split into two parallel bundles with a splitting optical system in a way that the light is split at a central line. Thereby, when reflected light from a target layer is focused, the reflected light is not influenced from an attenuation element provided on an optical axis.
