SOLUTION: A 1st lens 3 has a lens part 9 with a specific refracting power and also has a lens support part 11 formed integrally with the lens part 9. A 2nd lens 5, on the other hand, has a lens part 13 with a specific refracting power and also has a lens support part 15 formed integrally with the lens part 13 at the outer peripheral part of its lens part 13. Those lens support part 11 and lens support part 15 are joined with each other and the 1st lens 3 and 2nd lens 5 are united to constitute the objective 1 composed of the two lenses in two groups. Consequently, the 1st and 2nd lenses 3 and 5 can easily be aligned.

SOLUTION: A cleaning head 10 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of a magneto-optical disk 2 on the side reverse from an optical head 3 with respect to the magneto-optical disk 2. When the optical head 3 moves to a prescribed position, the cleaning head is driven by a cleaning head drive mechanism 11 to supply the washing liquid to the optical head 3. The cleaning head 10 removes the foreign matter sticking to the optical disk side of the optical head 3 by removing the washing liquid. A system control circuit monitors the signal level of the regenerative signals MO, RF obtd. via a regenerative signal processing circuit and controls the operation of a servo circuit and a cleaning head drive mechanism 11 at the time of loading and discharging of the optical disk 2 when the change in the light quantity of the return light falls to the prescribed value or below.

SOLUTION: The input digital data from an input terminal 11 are processed by respective circuits 13-16 to be modulated by a modulation circuit 17, and when a synchronizing signal is added to them by a synchronism addition circuit 18, the synchronizing signal is added at a synchronous format not used usually different from a beforehand standardized synchronous format, e.g. by changing a synchronous pattern from a normal synchronous pattern, or changing the position of the synchronizing signal from a normal position. When the digital binary signal of such a synchronous format is intended to be copied as it is, the copy is prevented by that the synchronism comes off, etc.

SOLUTION: An error phase difference ΔDP between a PPe signal and a DPD signal, changes according to a tilt amount θ, which is a tilt angle of an optical disk, the PPe signal being a push-pull signal generated by utilizing a fact that a difference in light quantity of two overlapped regions W changes according to displacement of radiation of an optical beam toward a desired track in the optical disk, and the DPD signal being a second signal generated by utilizing a fact that light quantity distribution is changed in the overlapped regions W according to the displacement of radiation. Based on the error phase difference ΔDP, the tilt angle as a tilt amount θ is calculated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
