    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute an optical lens in such a manner that sufficient strength of adhesion to a lens holder may be obtained in a sufficiently small region. SOLUTION: The optical lens arranged to face a recording medium is constituted by forming a sand texture rough surface region 9 in part of a circumferential direction on the outer periphery on the surface side of an objective lens 2 facing the recording medium. The strength of adhesion of the optical lens to the lens holder is enhanced by the presence of this sand texture rough surface region 9.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the need for applying an AR coat to a cover layer on the recording layer of an optical record medium by forming a magnetic field generation means on a surface that opposes the optical record medium of a lens and forming an electrode for detecting capacitance with respect to the optical record medium at the outer-periphery region. SOLUTION: An electrode S for detecting capacitance to a magnetooptical disk 2 is formed at the outer-periphery region of a spiral-shaped coil part 46 on a surface that opposes the magnetooptical disk 2 of a coil-supporting substrate 44. The electrode S is divided into a plurality of portions for each specific region. For example, the electrode S is divided into two portions concentrically. The outer-periphery region of the coil part 46 that is a magnetic field generation element is provided with an optical element with an electrode for detecting the capacitance at an area to the magnetooptical disk 2. Therefore, by measuring the capacitance between the electrode S and the magnetooptical disk 2, the distance between the electrode S and the magnetooptical disk 2 can be set to preset distance.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical lens having a high refractive index, to obtain a condenser lens 4 adequate for a near field recording and reproducing system, and to make it possible to deal with a trend toward the higher density and larger capacity of an optical recording medium by using GaP as an essential component constituting the optical lens. SOLUTION: The condenser lens 4 composed, successively from an optical recording medium 1 side, of a first optical lens 2 and a second optical lens 3 is fixed to a slider. The essential component of the first optical lens 2 of the case is composed of GaP. The first optical lens 2 is otherwise composed of a GaP single crystal. The first optical lens 2 is so shaped that the objective face, i.e., the face opposite to the optical recording medium 1 is plane and the opposite surface of the objective face is a convex spherical surface and the surrounding blank is a fixed surface to the slider. The GaP single crystal has a cleavage plane at a (110) face and allows the formation of the plane without polishing. Namely, the first optical lens 2 is manufactured without requiring many man-hours by forming the objective face of the first optical lens 2 at the (110) face.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To permit the formation of a latent image of a fine pattern on a resist layer by irradiating the resist layer formed on a board with laser beam applying high frequency superpose through an auto-focus mechanism and detecting this reflecting beam. SOLUTION: The laser beam emitted from a beam source 2 irradiates the resist layer 51 formed on the glass board 50 to form the latent image of the prescribed pattern on the resist layer 51. The high frequency convoluted laser beam emitted from the beam source 32 auto-focus, penetrates a correcting lens 33 to correct the chromatic aberration and further, penetrates a polarized- beam splitter 34 and a 1/4 wave length board 35 and directed to a reflecting mirror 36. The high frequency convoluted laser beam passed through the splitter 34 and the 1/4 wave length board 35, is made incident on objective lens 22 as p-polarized beam and the reflected beam of the high frequency superposed laser beam which irradiates the resist layer 51 through the objective lens 22, is used as s-polarized beam and the splippage amount of the focus is efficiently detected with a beam detector 37.
