A lens actuator of an optical head for an optical disc drive includes a two-dimensional actuator supported by a carriage via a spring, a second lens held by the two-dimensional actuator, a slider supported by the two-dimensional actuator and floated off a turning optical disc, and a first lens held by the slider. A laser beam is focused on the optical disc by an object lens system which includes the first lens and the second lens. The slider is supported by the two-dimensional actuator via a support having a predetermined spring constant in the focus directions while also having freedom to follow tilting of the optical disc.

An optical disk drive has a swing arm that is pivotally supported and upon which is mounted an optical head. The optical head illuminates a small laser beam spot, through an objective lens, onto an optical disk. The swing arm is rotated around a pivotable supporting assembly by a rotary motor through a gear train. One of the gears in the gear train is mounted on a tip of the arm. The arm is stably supported at two portions—one portion being the pivotable supporting assembly and the other portion being the rotary motor cooperating with the gear train. One of gears in the gear train preferably has a backlash eliminator including a plurality of associated gears, one of which is elastically suspended by a biasing element that applies a force in a constant direction. The rotary motion of the rotary motor is transferred to arm-rotation without slippage. The drive has an electromagnet, which applies a magnetic field onto the disk and is mounted a position opposite to the objective lens with respect to the disk.

A magnetic head used in a magneto-optical disk apparatus is provided. The magnetic head includes a slider brought into facing relation to a disk member rotatable in a predetermined rotating direction. The slider includes a leading portion and a trailing portion which is spaced downstream from the leading portion in the above rotating direction. The magnetic head also includes a first magnetic field generator carried by the slider and a second magnetic field generator carried by the slider. The second magnetic field generator is arranged closer to the trailing portion of the slider than the first magnetic field generator is.

An optical disk apparatus includes a spindle motor for rotating a mounted optical disk, and a swing-motion type optical head apparatus. The swing-motion type optical head apparatus scans the optical disk in a radial direction of the optical disk by moving the objective lens. The head apparatus is made to swing about a swing axis in a plane parallel to a recording surface of the mounted optical disk. The swing-motion type optical head apparatus includes an arm carrying the objective lens thereupon, and provided at the first side of the mounted optical disk. A supporting member is provided for supporting the arm so as to enable the arm to swing about the axis. Driving device are provided for causing the arm to swing. The supporting member and the driving device are provided at a location outside the optical disk when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the recording surface. The mounted optical disk has a level within a height of the supporting member and the driving device, such that the supporting member and the driving device extend from the first side of the mounted optical disk to a second, opposite side of the mounted optical disk.

An optical semiconductor apparatus includes a laser diode for producing an optical beam, a base body formed with a first reference surface adapted for engagement with an external apparatus and a second reference surface separated from the first reference surface with a predetermined distance, and a subcarrier member having a principal surface for carrying the laser diode thereon said principal surface, wherein the subcarrier is mounted upon the base body in an abutted state such that the principal surface establishes an intimate engagement with the second reference surface. The base body is formed with a depression on the second reference surface so as to accommodate therein the laser diode when the subcarrier member is mounted upon the base body together with the laser diode that is mounted upon the principal surface.
