An optical recording medium and an optical information device that improve the quality of a servo signal and a reproduction signal. In the optical recording medium, when shape-wise thicknesses tr1, tr2, tr3, and tr4 of a cover layer (42), a first intermediate layer (43), a second intermediate layer (44), and a third intermediate layer (45) are respectively converted into thicknesses t1, t2, t3, and t4 of the respective corresponding layers each having a predetermined refractive index “no”, a defocus amount with respect to a layer having a refractive index nrα and a thickness trα (satisfying: 1≦α≦n (where α is a positive integer and n is an integer of 4 or more)), and a defocus amount with respect to a layer having the refractive index “no” and a thickness tα (satisfying: 1≦α≦n (where α is a positive integer and n is an integer of 4 or more)) are equal to each other. Further, the thicknesses t1, t2, t3, and t4 satisfy |t1−(t2+t3+t4)|≧1 μm, a difference between any two values of the thicknesses t1, t2, t3, and t4 is set to 1 μm or more, and |(t1+t2)−(t3+t4)|≧1 μm.

An object of the invention is to suppress an influence of a wavefront aberration which is generated at the time of correcting a third-order spherical aberration, and realize satisfactory information recording and/or reproducing. A collimator lens 4 corrects a third-order spherical aberration which is generated depending on the thickness of a light transmissive layer from a surface of a first optical information recording medium 30, corresponding to an optimal substrate thickness of a first objective lens 6, to an intended information recording surface, assuming that the light transmissive layer thickness of the first optical information recording medium 30 which minimizes a residual third-order spherical aberration at the time of incidence of parallel light into the first objective lens 6 is defined as the optimal substrate thickness of the first objective lens 6. The optimal substrate thickness of the first objective lens 6 is defined in such a manner that a variation of a wavefront aberration which is generated on the information recording surface of the first optical information recording medium 30 farthest from the first objective lens 6 at the time of correcting the third-order spherical aberration, and a variation of a wavefront aberration which is generated on the information recording surface of the first optical information recording medium 30 closest to the first objective lens 6 at the time of correcting the third-order spherical aberration are set equal to each other.

A first light source 1a emits a first light flux with a first wavelength. A second light source 1b emits a second light flux with a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength and a third light flux with a third wavelength that is different from the first wavelength and the second wavelength. A collimator lens 6, a first objective lens 9, and a second objective lens 10 collect the first to third light fluxes as converged light on an optical disc. A first composite photodetector 13 detects the reflected light fluxes from the optical disc. The first composite photodetector 13 includes a first quartered light-receiving unit 13a that receives a light flux obtained by reflection of at least one light flux from among the first to third light fluxes from the optical disc and a second quartered light-receiving unit 13b that receives a light flux obtained by reflection of the remaining light fluxes from the optical disc. Such configuration ensures compatibility with optical discs of at least three kinds and enables miniaturization.

An offset-free tracking signal enables stable tracking control even if an optical disc is a multi-layer disc having three or more layers. Light receiving portions of a main region light receiving portion group are arranged between a projection line of a third dividing line on a photodetector and a projection line of a fourth dividing line on the photodetector by stray lights from information layers adjacent to the one, on which a light beam is focused, out of a plurality of information layers. Further, light receiving portions of a subregion light receiving portion group is arranged between a projection line of a first dividing line on a photodetector and a projection line of a second dividing line on the photodetector by the stray lights from the information layers adjacent to the one, on which a light beam is focused, out of the plurality of information layers.

摘要:
An optical head that is restrained from becoming larger, even if it is used for an optical-information recording medium that includes a plurality of information recording layers. In this optical head, a collimating lens is formed by a concave lens disposed on the side of a light source and a convex lens disposed on the side of an objective lens. A collimating-lens actuator moves the convex lens in a direction where a spherical aberration is cancelled which is generated according to the thickness of a light transmission layer up to an information recording layer of the optical-information recording medium. An aperture stop is provided on the side of the collimating lens with respect to the objective lens, and the aperture stop is located near the focal position of the convex lens on the side of the objective lens.

摘要:
The recording/reproducing quality of a multilayer optical information recording medium deteriorate not only due to interference from other layers caused by light converging on other information layers but also due to stray light converging on the surface of a protective layer and stray light that does not converge on other information layers but rather returns to an optical head through the same optical path as the reproducing signal. The thickness composition of intermediate layers (106, 107, and 108) and the protective layer (109) in a four-layer optical information recording medium are set so as to eliminate the influence of interference caused by stray light from other layers reflected up to three times.
