Abstract
An apparatus records information on a hard disk with a magnetic head arm provided in a hard disk drive. The apparatus comprises an interference measuring system, containing an outgoing portion for a measuring light beam to the arm and a reference light forming portion, for obtaining relative displacement information with respect to the arm by interfering the reference light with reflected light of the measuring light from the arm or a slider belonging to the arm, the interference measuring system having a light beam deflecting member for deflecting the measuring light and thus guiding the measuring light to a lateral surface of the arm or of the slider, a control system for generating a signal for positioning the arm with respect to the hard disk on the basis of the relative displacement information obtained by the interference measuring system, and a signal system for transmitting a signal for recording information on the hard disk to the magnetic head.
