Abstract

An optical data recording and reproduction apparatus which uses a semiconductor laser as a light source is disclosed. The half angle of light issuing from the laser in a junction direction of the laser and the focal length of a condenser lens adapted to focus a laser beam from the laser are adequately selected in such a manner as to satisfy a particular condition.
