A magnetic circuit, an optical pickup actuator, an optical recording
and/or reproducing apparatus using the magnetic circuit, and method of
the same, wherein the magnetic circuit includes a plurality of focus coil
units each of which includes a first focus coil and a second focus coil,
and a magnet including a plurality of magnet portions which interact with
the plurality of focus coil units and each of which is polarized in a
direction opposite to adjacent magnet portions thereamong. Here,
electromagnetic forces act on the first and second focus coils in each
focus coil unit in a same direction in response to focus driving signals
and in opposite directions in response to tilt driving signals, with the
first and second focus coils in each focus coil unit have different
effective coil lengths.
