Abstract

A mechanism for adjusting an optical axis of an optical device, particularly in an optical information recording and reproducing system, in accordance with which the optical axis is movable in two directions, independently of each other. Various parts of the optical system, such as an anamorphic prism and a fixed prism, may be moved to adjust the degree of parallelism and/or displacement of a laser beam. A laser ray source in the system also may be movable independently in different directions.
