Abstract

See full text

A method for the optical axis of an optical pickup apparatus includes the step of adjusting the optical axis of a beam expander for enlarging the diameter of a light beam outgoing from a laser light beam radiating device into coincidence with the optical axis of the light beam radiated from the laser light beam radiating device. The laser light beam radiating device includes a non-linear optical crystal element and is adapted for radiating a second harmonic laser light beam. The method also includes the step of mounting the beam expander having adjusted its optical axis, and a step of adjusting, with the beam expander mounted on the laser light radiating device, the optical axis of an optical system converging the laser light beam radiated from the laser light beam radiating device so that the optical axis is brought into coincidence with the optical axis of the laser beam radiated from the laser light beam radiating device.
