An optical disk drive includes a light source, a light focusing element, a light-focusing-element moving mechanism, a detecting unit, a holding unit, and first and second control units. The light focusing element arranged so as to be opposed to a disk on which a signal is recordable is capable of focusing light emitted from the light source as near-field light on the disk. The detecting unit detects a state where the moving mechanism approaches the light focusing element to the disk such that the light is focused as near-field light on the disk and outputs a detection signal upon detection. The holding unit holds a voltage applied to the mechanism in response to the detection signal and is capable of releasing the held voltage. The first and second control units perform first and second control operations to control the distance between the light focusing element and the disk.
