The laser beam 4 reflected from the disk passes through the optical element 1 such as a beam splitter and the lens 2, and then is focused on the light receiving element 3. FIG. 2 is a detailed view of the light receiving element portion of FIG. In this embodiment, the light receiving element 3 is arranged closer to the lens 2 than the focal position 2a of the lens 2. In this state, even if dust or dirt adheres to the surface of the cover glass 3a of the light receiving element 3, the cover glass 3a
Since the laser beam diameter above is larger than the conventional technology,
The amount of received light is reduced. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the light receiving element 3 may be arranged at a position farther from the lens 2 than the focus position 2a.

This is applied to the tracking error signal light receiving part.
The laser beam 4 emitted from the laser emission source 7 is
Collimator lens 8, prism 9, splash prism 1
0, after passing through the objective lens 11, it is focused on the disk 12. First, in the MO signal light receiving section, the laser beam 4 reflected from the disk 12 passes through the objective lens 11 and the flip-up prism 10 and then enters the prism 9, and after passing through the Wollaston prism 13 and the lens 2, the light receiving element 3 Focus on. In the present embodiment, the beam diameter on the light receiving element 3 is expanded from about 20 μm to about 50 μm by disposing the light receiving element 3 on the lens 2 side by 0.5 mm from the focal position of the lens 2. As a result, even if dust of several tens of μm adheres, the signal can be received. Similarly, in the tracking error signal light receiving portion, the laser beam 4 reflected from the disk 12 passes through the objective lens 11 and the flip-up prism 10 and then enters the prism 9, and passes through the prism 14, the lens mask 18, and the lens 19. rear,
The light is collected on the light receiving element 20. Also in this embodiment, the light receiving element 20
Is arranged on the lens 19 side with respect to the focal position of the lens 19. In addition, application to disk heads other than magneto-optical disks is also conceivable.
