摘要:
A magnetic disk device performs magnetic recording by generating a magnetic field using an electric current on a light-irradiated surface of a recording medium. A head unit is formed by laminating an optical film that transmits a light and a metal film through which the electric current flows. A light exposing unit irradiates the light in such a manner that the light is transmitted through the optical film and irradiated on a surface of the recording medium. An electric-current output unit outputs the electric current to the metal film.

An optical head including a first dielectric layer having a first refractive index, a pair of second dielectric layers located adjacent to the first dielectric layer on both sides thereof, each of the second dielectric layers having a second refractive index larger than the first refractive index, a pair of third dielectric layers located adjacent to the second dielectric layers, and a pair of fourth dielectric layers located adjacent to the third dielectric layers, each of the fourth dielectric layers having a third refractive index larger than the first refractive index. Light is incident on the optical head in a direction orthogonal to a layering direction of the first to fourth dielectric layers. The first dielectric layer and each of the third dielectric layers have different refractive indices or different thicknesses.

An optical apparatus can eliminate offset resulting from assembling errors and also can correct offset even in the photodetector of any optical system. An optical disk apparatus for reading information from tracks traces the track with the condensed spot of light beam depending on the tracking error signal obtained from the optical system for tracking error detection. The tracking error detecting optical system includes an optical apparatus having a photodetector for outputting, as the tracking error signal, a differential value of outputs of a plurality of light receiving sections for receiving the light beam condensed by the condenser lens. Also, an optical element is provided for relatively increasing and/or decreasing the amount of receiving light of a light receiving section depending on displacement of the optical axis of the light beam, in order to balance the light received by the light receiving sections and compensate for affect.
