Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the S/N of a reproduced signal and to reduce the cost of a device by arranging an optical attenuator for attenuating reflected light obtained fro the light receiving surface of a photodetector between an optical separator and the photodetector. CONSTITUTION:Light from a light source is partially reflected by a beam splitter 3, converged by a convergent lens 5, made incident upon the photodetector 4 through the optical attenuator 9, reflected by the light receiving surface 41, and made incident upon a beam splitter 8 again through the optical attenuator 9 and the beam splitter 3. Although reproduced signal light from a recording carrier and the reflected light from the detector 4 are superposed to each other in the same optical path, the reflected light is hardly made incident upon the reproducing photodetector because it is sufficiently attenuated by the optical attenuator 9. Thereby, an inexpensive and high performance device can be obtained without expanding the size.
