Abstract
An optical head which implements high recording density of a recording medium and which is miniaturized in size and improved in data transfer rate, a disk apparatus, and a method for manufacturing the optical head are provided. A laser beam is emitted from a semiconductor laser, the laser beam is collimated by the collimator lens to a collimated beam and reflected by a mirror, condensed by an condense lens, and incident to an incident surface of a transparent condensing medium. The condensed beam which was incident to the incident surface is refracted by the incident surface, the refracted beam is condensed on a condense surface, a beam spot is formed on the condense surface, and a near field wave leaks from a small aperture. The near field wave leaked from the small aperture propagates in a recording layer of a recording. The beam is served for recording/reproduction on the recording layer.
