- the amount of light in the diffracted light beam region 32a decreases and the amount of light in the diffracted light beam region 32b increases as compared to the state of FIG. 1OA. Accordingly, the amount of light received in the light receiving area 36a and the light receiving area 36b also changes.

This is when the medium 13 is tilted in the radial direction, or when the relative angle between the magneto-optical recording medium 13 and the objective lens 11 changes.
- the amount of light in the diffracted light beam region 32a decreases and the amount of light in the diffracted light beam region 32b increases due to interference between the zero-order light and the ⁇ first-order light. Accordingly, the amount of light received in the light receiving areas 36a and 36b similarly changes.
- the output values of the differential amplifiers 37a and 37b shown in FIG. 5 change compared to the state of FIG. 10A. This amount of change depends only on the tilt of the magneto-optical recording medium 13 because there is no shift amount of the objective lens 11.
- the radial tilt angle is reversed, the changes in the light receiving area 36a and the light receiving area 36b are also reversed.

- the relative angle between the objective lens 11 and the magneto-optical recording medium 13 can be corrected at high speed. This is because a radial tilt is generated by changing the current value of the coils 18a and 18c to change the driving force in the focus direction.
