A stabilization part stabilizes surface vibration of a flexible optical
disk along a rotation axis direction of the optical disk by means of
pressure difference of air flow created according to Bernoulli's law at a
portion on which information writing/reading is performed, provided on a
side of the optical disk opposite to a side on which information
recording/reproducing is performed. In this case, areas are provide on
the upstream side and down stream side along the disk rotation direction
of the portion of the optical disk which is stabilized by said
stabilization part, said areas of the optical disk not having pressure
difference created thereon by the air flow.
