PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anamorphic prism having a less degree of frequency dependency. SOLUTION: Two prisms 1 and 2 are formed out of different glass materials, and the magnifications thereof are also optimized at values different from each other. As a result, what is called achromatic type anamorphic prism having the characteristic that an outgoing beam direction is constant regardless of a wavelength fluctuation can be obtained. When the anamorphic prism so formed is used for the optical system of an optical disc system, the positional fluctuation of a beam spot due to the fluctuation of laser wavelength can be prevented.

PURPOSE:To enable the wavelength of an exposure laser beam to be shortened and to enable high-density recordings by solving problems with the color correction of an objective lens and to enable cost reduction by eliminating the need for using more than one laser beam source. CONSTITUTION:An exposure laser beam emitted from a laser beam source 11 is collected by an objective lens 14 and applied to a glass original board 1 to perform exposure for recording data, and when the objective lens 14 is focus-servoed using the beam reflected from the glass original board 1, the controller 17 controls a power controller 12 so that at the unexposed part of a mirror portion, etc., the intensity of the laser beam is lowered to a value at which a photoresist is not exposed while focus-servo can be achieved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further increase the recording density of a magneto-optical recording medium by eliminating a ghost phenomenon in a domain wall displacement detection(DWDD) system. SOLUTION: During a reproducing of the signals from a magneto-optical recording medium by a DWDD system, a mark position recording system is selected for the recording against the medium. Unlike a mark edge recording system, in which signals are recorded by modulating recording mark lengths, the lengths of the recording marks are always made constant in the mark position recording system and the recording mark length is made very short. The ghost phenomenon in the DWDD system is not generated if the recording mark is sufficiently small. Thus, by selecting the mark position recording system for the recording, the problem of the ghost phenomenon in the DWDD system is resolved.
