The displacement sensor using optical pickup head is presented. The measuring principle of optical pickup head in focusing direction is adopted to measure displacement. The preliminary tests were carried out to verify the feasibility of the optical pickup head as a displacement sensor and optical pickup head showed about $8;{mu}m$ measuring range and 10nm resolution. The methodology to expand measuring range is proposed and proved its validity. The proposed displacement sensors are applied to AFM(Atomic Force Microscope) probe head to measure the deflection of micro-cantilever.
