Abstract
A method of adjusting a beam splitter of an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus is provided. The optical information recording/reproducing apparatus includes a laser light source, an objective optical system for converging the light beam from the laser light source, a guide rail mechanism for moving the objective optical system, a beam splitter mounted in an optical path of the light beam parallel to the transfer direction and photodetectors for detecting the light beam split by the beam splitter. The method of adjusting the beam splitter includes supporting a supplementary laser source for emitting a laser beam on the guide rail mechanism so that the laser beam of the supplementary laser source is incident onto the beam splitter along the optical path. The method further includes adjusting the beam splitter, while observing the split laser beam from the beam splitter at plural points where the photodetectors are to be mounted.
