Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a light beam by a detecting means via an optical device and to make the phase compensation plate of a pickup device unnecessary by introducing the light beam from a laser beam source to an objective lens by total-reflecting and deflecting in a prescribed direction and converging on a recording medium, and performing the phase compensation of return light from the recording medium by the optical device. CONSTITUTION:The light beam from the laser beam source 1 is changed to a parallel ray by a collimator lens 5, and is directionally reflected at a beam splitter 4, and is converged on a magnetic disk 1 via a prism mirror 18 which performs also the phase compensation and an objective lens 2. The return light reflected on the disk 1 is divided by the splitter 4, and a beam on one side is made incident on a photodiode 9 for servo via a converging lens 8. Also, the beam on the other side is bi-sected by a polarizing beam splitter 12 via a 1/2-wave plate 11, and they are made incident on first and second photodiodes 14 and 16, and incident light are differentially detected, then, a reproducing signal can be obtained. Thereby, the phase compensation plate for the pickup is unrequired, which realizes cost down.
