I'd like to use the photodiode array of this laser pickup (found in
old CD players) in an application sensing the position of a light
beam.

I was not able to find any info about pin connections of this pickup.

Is the photodiode array the chip with 8 pins mounted on a side of the
main pickup unit ?

Regards,

Marco

Yes, you should be able to determine the pinout with amicroscope and
ohmmeter.
