ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for recording information, which comprises a one-dimensional diode array (21) constituted with a plurality of laser diodes arranged in a line, a modulation control signal generator (23) for supplying the laser diodes constituting the one-dimensional diode array with modulation control signals based on information to be recorded, and an optical system (24) for causing laser light beams obtained from the one-dimensional diode array to be incident upon an optical tape (26), wherein said optical system is operative to focus the laser light beams which have been modulated in response to the modulation control signals and obtained from the one-dimensional diode array so that geometric optical images of the modulated light beams are reduced over the diffraction limit thereof on the optical tape. Accordingly, when information recording on the optical tape or information reproduction from the optical tape is carried out with the laser light beams incident upon the optical tape, difficulties in determining and maintaining positional relations among various optical means can be reduced and the coefficient of utilization of the laser light beams can be improved.
