Abstract

Herein disclosed is a system using a plurality of laser beams, in which the positions of the respective laser beams are detected as the differences between the outputs of detectors of an optical detector arrangement and controlled by the difference signals so that they may be held mutually precisely. This system finds its suitable application to an optical disk recording system or a laser beam printer.
