An optical system for focusing a light beam emitted from a semiconductor laser is disclosed which comprises a lens of a numerical aperture NA satisfying a relation ##EQU1## (where .lambda. and .DELTA.Z indicate a laser wavelength of and an astigmatic focal distance in the semiconductor laser, respectively) to make the wave front aberration of a light beam emerging from the lens smaller than or equal to .lambda./4, thereby correcting astigmatism in the semiconductor laser.

An optical head apparatus for recording and reproducing data to and from optical disks, the apparatus boosting recording density by use of an objective lens with a higher numerical aperture (NA) than ever. A phase plate is added to the pupil position of the objective lens or to a position close thereto. The phase plate arrangement provides a deeper focal length, reduces the adverse effects of aberration and eliminates the need for a tilt servo mechanism despite the use of the objective lens having a greater numerical aperture than before.

An optical disk head having a short wavelength light source has an aperture diaphragm placed in the course of its focusing optical system which can change its aperture diameter depending on the pit size on an optical disk in order to allow recording on and reproducing from not only a short wavelength optical disk, but also a long wavelength optical disk. The aperture diameter is made larger for the smaller pit size and vice versa, and the light source output is adjusted depending on the aperture diameter so that the light amount coming from the disk surface to a photodetector cannot be changed with the aperture diameter.

A short-wavelength laser having a stable output and an optical information processing system capable of high-density recording are disclosed. A solid-state laser is used as a light source, and a nonlinear optical crystal is arranged in a resonator in order to produce a short wavelength by means of a solid-state laser. The retardation of the nonlinear optical crystal is controlled by determining the length of the nonlinear optical crystal. A solid-state laser device having a stable output with the noise removed from a pumping power light source is also provided. Further, the solid-state laser device is used as a light source for the optical information processing system, and the light of irrelevant wavelengths contained in the light from the solid-state laser device are removed by a device having the ability to select wavelengths. Thus, not only a stable light source with a short wavelength but also an optical information processing system capable of high-density recording are realized.

In a wavelength locking optical system, a resonator is formed between a wavelength deviation detection device and a facet of the laser diode, which makes a control signal unstable. A solution to this problem is to arrange polarization controlling elements between a wavelength deviation detection filter and a laser diode to stabilize the deviation signal, and to perform wavelength-locking with the stabilizer signal.

An optical fiber is held in a ferrule, and then the ferrule is located in a positioning groove formed in a substrate, thereby aligning the optical fiber with an optical device bonded to a surface of the substrate. Then, a lid is placed on the substrate in such a manner that the ferrule is located in a positioning groove formed in the lid and that the optical device is received in a cavity formed in the lid. The ferrule is thus held between the two grooves, and in this condition a resin is filled in the two grooves, thereby retaining the ferrule. Then, the lid is sealingly secured to the substrate. After these parts are thus assembled together, this assembly is put in dies, and then a package is molded.
