Abstract: A laser beam emitted from a light source is divided into a main beam and two sub-beams by a diffraction grating. A filter is arranged between a collimator lens and an objective lens. A filter unit is arranged in a predetermined pattern in the filter. The filter unit gives a maximum transmittance or a maximum reflectance at an incident angle at which the laser beam is incident in a parallel light state. The filter unit is formed in a pattern in which at least the laser beam reflected from a layer except a recording layer of an irradiation target is prevented from entering a sub-beam sensor pattern.
