An optical head to access data on an optical recording medium, which has
two data storage densities, includes two sets of optical path systems to
provide two optical paths that are crossed. Each optical path system
includes a laser light generation unit, a light guiding unit, a
converging objective lens and a photo detector. The light guiding unit is
located on the optical path of the laser light generation unit, to direct
the laser light to pass through the converging objective lens and focus
on the data side of the optical recording medium to carry optical data
signals from the data side. The laser light returns to the light guiding
unit and travels along the optical path and is received by the photo
detector.
