摘要:
Thickness information and refractive index information of a light transmitting layer are recorded in advance on an optical recording medium. Based on the thickness information and the refractive index information of the light transmitting layer, space between two lens units of an objective lens system is adjusted in an optical recording and reproducing apparatus, so that spherical aberration is adjusted. Accordingly, in the optical recording and reproducing apparatus using two lens units, it becomes possible to correctly record or reproduce the information to and from the optical recording medium.
