2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, optical discs have been required to record a large amount of digital data as the digitization of television broadcasting has started. Among the methods for coping with the high density of optical discs, the basic method is to reduce the light spot diameter for recording / reproduction. Therefore, it is effective to shorten the wavelength of light used for recording / reproduction and increase the numerical aperture NA of the objective lens. Regarding the wavelength of light, near infrared light of 780 nm is used for CD (compact disk), and red light of 650 nm is used for DVD (digital versatile disk). Recently,
A blue-violet semiconductor laser has been developed, and it is expected that a laser beam near 400 nm will be used in the future.

Regarding the objective lens, N for CD
Although it was less than A0.5, NA for DVD is about 0.6. In the future, NA will be increased by increasing the numerical aperture (NA).

However, increasing the NA of the objective lens and shortening the wavelength of light also increase the influence of aberration when the light is focused. Therefore, the margin for tilting the optical disc is reduced.
In addition, since the depth of focus decreases as the NA increases, the focus servo accuracy must be increased.

Further, since the distance between the objective lens and the recording surface of the optical disk becomes small by using the objective lens having a high NA, the focus servo at the time of start must be made unless the surface deviation of the optical disk is kept small. The objective lens may collide with the optical disc immediately before the optical pickup is pulled in, which causes a failure of the pickup.

As a large-capacity optical disk with a short wavelength and a high NA, for example, as shown in page 183 of O PLUS E (vol. 20 No. 2), a recording film is formed on a substrate as thick and as rigid as a CD. There has been proposed a system having a structure in which a recording film is formed and recording / reproducing light is recorded / reproduced on / from a recording film through a thin cover layer without passing through the substrate.

Further, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 7-105657 and 10-308059, a flexible optical disk is rotated on a stabilizing plate having a flat surface to produce a Bernoulli disk.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, when the substrate of the optical disc is formed of a rigid body, in order to reduce the surface run-out and tilt of the rotating optical disc, it is necessary to perform extremely accurate molding and heat treatment. The recording film must be formed at a low temperature so as not to cause deformation. This prolongs the tact time associated with the optical disc manufacturing, and causes a cost increase.

FIG. 1 shows a model used when calculating the effect of static pressure of the air flow generated between the protruding member 2 and the rotating optical disk sheet 1 by the rotation of the optical disk sheet. The pressure is the pressure applied to the optical disk by the fluid in the direction normal to the surface of the optical disk. It is considered that the principle of stabilizing the disc surface shake based on Bernoulli's law is stabilized by balancing the static pressure, the restoring force generated by the disc deformation, and the centrifugal force due to the rotation.

The optical disk sheet 1 has a radius of 60 mm, is rotated about the z axis at a speed of 1000 rpm, and is deformed into a shape obtained by an experiment. In the reference example, the protruding member 2 has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 20 mm, and the lower end surface is spherical. The axis in the height direction of the cylinder that is the projecting member 2 coincides with the z axis. The closest distance between the optical disk sheet 1 and the protruding member 2 is 50 × 10 −6 m. The deformed shape of the optical disk sheet 1 was determined by scanning the entire disk surface with a laser interferometer and image-processing the z coordinate at each point. The fluid calculation was performed by solving the Navier-Stokes equation under time-steady, incompressible, and three-dimensional conditions.
