Abstract: An optical pickup device has a DVD/CD laser diode for emitting a DVD/CD laser beam as linear polarized light, and a BD laser diode for emitting a BD laser beam. The optical pickup device has a dichroic mirror that regularly reflects a part of the DVD/CD laser beam, transmits a part of the DVD/CD laser beam, and transmits return light of the BD laser beam. The dichroic mirror is formed so that a product of reflectance of outward light of the DVD/CD laser beam and transmittance of return light of the DVD/CD laser beam becomes 20% or more to 25% or less. A light receiving element receives the return light of the DVD/CD laser beam transmitted through the dichroic mirror or the return light of the BD laser beam transmitted through the dichroic mirror.

Abstract: An optical disc drive according to the present invention can read data from any of multiple types of optical discs, of which the information storage layers are located at mutually different depths under their surface. When this drive is loaded with an optical disc, the servo controller of the drive changes a first type of drive signal to adjust a focus position by changing distances from the lens to the disc and/or a second type of drive signal to adjust tilt of the lens by changing the angles defined by the lens with respect to the disc a number of times, thereby changing settings to be determined by a combination of the focus position and the tilt. A signal quality rater measures multiple index values to rate the quality of a reflected light signal as the settings are changed. Then, the optical disc drive recognizes the type of the given optical disc based on those index values and reads data from the optical disc recognized.
