An optical system includes a semiconductor laser for emitting a laser beam, a coupling lens for converting the laser beam a parallel beam, an optical beam shaping system for increasing the diameter of the parallel beam in a direction in which the semiconductor laser has a smaller far field pattern, and an objective lens for focusing a beam shaped by the optical beam shaping system into a spot. To make the spot substantially circular in shape and increase the light utilization efficiency, the magnification of the optical beam shaping system in a direction parallel to the junction plane of the semiconductor laser is selected to fall in a certain range.
