Abstract:
An objective lens for an optical pick-up which is used to record data to and/or to reproduce data from at least three types of optical discs by selectively using one of at least three light beams having different wavelengths is provided. When thicknesses of a first, second and optical discs are represented by t1, t2 and t3, respectively, a relationship t1≦t2 NA3 is satisfied. The first, second and third light beams are incident on the objective lens as substantially collimated light beams, respectively. In this configuration, at least one of surfaces of the objective lens includes a first area for attaining the numerical aperture required for recording data to and/or reproducing data from the third optical disc, and a second area located outside the first area. The first area includes an inner area including an optical axis of the objective lens, and an outer area located outside the inner area. The outer area is configured to converge the third light beam on a data recording layer of the third optical disc with an amount of an aberration being substantially zero. The objective lens satisfies a condition: 0.75

There is provided an objective lens used for a plurality of types of optical discs having a front surface and a rear surface, each of which includes an inner region and an outer region. The outer region has a surface shape which suppresses a coma caused when a beam used for a first optical disc is incident thereon obliquely with respect to an optical axis of the objective lens. The inner region is configured such that, at a boundary position between the inner region and the outer region, the coma caused when a beam used for a second optical disc is incident on the inner region obliquely at a first angle with respect to the optical axis is less than the coma caused when the beam used for the second optical disc is incident on the outer region obliquely at the first angle with respect to the optical axis. Further, an inclination θ2A of the inner region and an inclination θ2B of the outer region of the rear surface satisfy a condition: −2.5

When a light beam having a wavelength corresponding to the optical disc requiring the lower NA is converged on the optical disc requiring the lower NA at the lower NA, the phase of light flux passed through a first annular region included in the peripheral area is different from that passed through the central area, and the phase of light flux passed through a second annular region, which is outside the first region, is substantially the same as that passed through the central area.

An objective lens for recording data to and/or reproducing data from first and second optical discs. The objective lens is provided with at least one surface including a plurality of annular zones divided by steps. The steps has functions of phase shifting a wavefront of light passing through the plurality of annular zones so that a beam spot formed at a converging point of an average wavefront of the wavefront phase shifted by the steps is used for the first and second optical discs. The plurality of annular zones of the at least one surface includes at least one annular zone structure which includes first and second annular zone groups, each of which has at least three steps for phase shifting the wavefront in a first direction, and a first return step which is a step formed at a boundary between the first and second annular zone groups. The first return step phase shifts the wavefront in a second direction opposite to the first direction. An absolute value |Δψ1| of a phase shifting amount of the first light beam given by the first return step satisfies a condition: 6π
