Abstract
A wideband optical disc data record/playback apparatus includes apparatus for splitting the output light beam of a single laser into a plurality of read and record light beams. The read and record beams are directed along a read light path including a beam splitter and a record light path including a modulator and a beam splitter respectively. In the apparatus, the read and record light beams are recombined and directed along a common light path to an objective lens where the beams are focused on a surface of a record medium as diffraction limited spots. A dual-input lens beam-expansion telescope is utilized with the beam combiner optics to provide expanded light beams which fill the entrance aperture of the objective lens.
