Abstract:
An objective optical element for use in an optical pickup apparatus, includes an objective lens to converge the light flux emitted from the first and second light sources; and an optical functional surface including a common region and an exclusive region. When a first optical information medium is used, a sine condition unsatisfied-amount whose value is maximum exists on the common region. The following formula is satisfied: 0.5≦COMA2/COMA1≦1.0 where COMA1 is a coma aberration (λ1 rms) when a light flux goes slantingly to be incident with a view angle of 1° onto the objective optical element when the first optical information medium is used, and COMA2 is a coma aberration (λ2 rms) when a light flux goes slantingly to be incident with a view angle of 1° onto the objective optical element when the second optical information medium is used.
Abstract:
An objective lens comprises at least inner and outer optically functional regions arranged in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis and each of the inner and outer optically functional regions has a diffractive structure. The objective lens comprises a light amount reducing structure to reduce an amount of the light flux passing through a region of the objective lens other than the inner optically functional region when recording or reproducing is conducted for CD.
Abstract:
An optical pickup apparatus includes: a first light source for emitting a first light flux; a second light source for emitting a second light flux; a third light source for emitting a third light flux; and an objective optical unit having a first optical path difference providing structure and a second optical path difference providing structure. Magnifications of the objective optical unit for the first-third light fluxes have almost same value. The first optical path difference providing structure provides a predefined optical path difference and changes a spherical aberration to be one of under-correction and over-correction for all of the first light flux, the second light flux, and the third light flux. The second optical path difference providing structure provides a predefined optical path difference and changes a spherical aberration to be the other of under-correction and over-correction of the spherical aberration only for the second light flux.
