ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning device for scanning a record carrier (22), the record carrier has an outer face (24) and the optical scanning device comprises a radiation source system (2) arranged to generate a radiation beam; an objective system (20) having an exit face (76) and which is arranged between the radiation source system and the record carrier and provides for evanescent coupling of the radiation across a gap between the exit face of the objective system and the outer face of the record carrier; and a radiation detector arrangement for detecting radiation after interaction with the record carrier. The radiation detector arrangement is arranged to produce a tilt error signals (α, β) representing a tilt misalignment between the exit face of the objective system and the outer face of the record carrier. The radiation detector arrangement is arranged to produce the tilt error signal by detecting information in the radiation which is indicative of a variation in efficiency off the evanescent coupling across the exit face.
