The optical miniaturized module includes a semiconductor laser for
irradiating an optical disk with laser light, a diffraction grating for
forming a main beam and two sub beams from the laser light, a
polarization hologram for dividing reflected light from the optical disk,
and a photodetector for detecting the reflected light. The polarization
hologram includes a first parting line defined in a direction optically
corresponding to a radial direction as the optical disk rotates. A main
beam M incident area is divided with a boundary defined by the first
parting line. A sub beam A incident area and a sub beam B incident area
are each arranged avoiding the first parting line.
