Abstract

An optical record and playback system is described for use in a multi-channel data processing system. An optical head which includes a laser diode array comprises a collection objective, an anamorphic beam expander and a focusing lens. The optical head collects the laser beams emitted by the diode array, expands the beam cross-section to form circular beams and focuses the beams to diffraction limited spots.
