A multi-beam optical recording system includes a semiconductor laser array. The laser beams are expanded via a prism beam expander to have generally circular cross-sections for optimum spot intensity on the recording medium. According to the teaching of the prior art, the average beam angle of incidence on the input prism of the beam expander is the Brewster angle. According to the present invention, means are provided for rotating the beam expander to minimize the variations in spacing between beams, these variations resulting from the magnification distortion of the prisms of the beam expander.
