Abstract
An optical pickup apparatus for use on multi-layered optical information storage medium in which influences of reflected light, which result in crosstalk from adjacent layers in a multi-layered optical disk, are mitigated. In an astigmatic optical system of the optical pickup, a first composite segmented wave plate having a segmentation direction that is in the same direction as the focal line that is close to the astigmatic optical system, a second composite segmented wave plate of the same segmentation direction, and an analyzer are inserted.
