Abstract

An optical pickup device capable of eliminating interlayer crosstalk which is responsible for fluctuation in control signals and error rate in data signals, thereby ensuring stable action for a multilayered recording disc with a narrow interlayer spacing. The reflected beam coming from the multilayered disc is divided along the central line into two parallel portions by the dividing optical system and then condensed. The reflected beam coming from the active layer, which has been condensed, is reflected by the reflecting plane whose reflecting region is limited and the thus reflected beam is detected by the optical detector. The reflected beam coming from other layers is not reflected by the reflecting plane, so that interlayer crosstalk is reduced.
