It is an object to provide a laser module in which the position and the
posture of a laser beam source can be adjusted even in a small space so
that an optical intensity necessary for recording and reproducing
information can be ensured and the laser module is seldom affected by an
ambient temperature. It is another object of the present invention to
provide an optical pickup device, an optical disk device, a focus error
detection method and a tracking error detection method. The laser beam
source adjustment member 55 and the laser beam source shift member 56 are
attached to the laser beam source 52 so that the lead 51 can penetrate
them. Further, FPC 57 is fixed to the lead 51 being soldered. The laser
beam source 52 and the laser beam source adjustment member 55 are fixed
between the holding plate 54 and the laser beam source shift member 56
being pushed by the pushing spring 53. The laser beam source adjustment
member 55 has a spherical face formed round a light emitting point of the
laser beam source 52 and is rotated round the light emitting point of the
laser beam source 52 so that an inclination of the laser beam source 52
with respect to the axial direction can be adjusted.
