An optical head using a semiconductor laser array as a light source comprises a semiconductor laser array in which a plurality of semiconductor lasers are linearly arrayed, a collimator lens, an objective lens and a beam shaping prism system. The beam shaping prism system is arranged between the collimator lens and the objective lens to convert a beam width of a beam emerged from the collimator lens. The junction surfaces of the semiconductor lasers are parallel with an array direction. A plane defined by incident and emerging beams on and from the beam shaping prism system is parallel with or overlapping the array direction of the semiconductor lasers.
