Abstract

There is disclosed an optical head device in which at least two laser beams having different wavelengths are converged as light spots on a recording medium or optical disk by use of one objective lens and one of the two laser beams is subjected to a focusing control while the recording or reproduction of a signal on or from the optical disk is made using the other laser beam. When the one laser beam is subjected to the focusing control, the deviation of a converging position of the other laser beam for the optical disk may occur due to a difference in refractive index between transparent substrates of plural kinds of optical disks. In such a case, the converging position of the other laser beam is displaced to cancel the amount of deviation.
