摘要:
This invention relates to an objective lens for regenerating a video disc or the like. A semiconductor laser is used as a light source to directly drive an objective lens for carrying out tracking, and thus the lens must be small and light-weight, but the aberration on the optical axis could well be corrected. However, because of small-size of lens, a manufacture error such as eccentricity is greatly affected. A positive meniscus lens on the image side is approximated to a concentric configuration by an objective lens comprising two lenses whereby the influence resulting from eccentricity may be minimized.

A recording reproducing optical system for an optical information recording medium is provided with a light source; an objective lens; and an aberration correcting optical element provided on an optical path between the light source and the objective lens. The objective lens includes an aspherical surface and one diffractive surface on which a diffractive structure structured by a plurality of concentric ring-shaped zonal steps is formed and the objective lens is a plastic lens structured in one element in one group. The aberration correcting optical element comprises at least one plastic lens on which a diffractive structure structured by a plurality of concentric ring-shaped zonal steps is formed. The following formulas are satisfied: PD1>0 (PD1 is a diffractive power (mm−1)), PD2 0 (PR2 is a refractive power (mm−1) as a refractive lens).

An optical pickup apparatus to conduct reproducing and/or recording information of an optical information recording medium, comprises a light source to emit a light flux having a wavelength of &lgr; (nm); a converging optical system to converge the light flux emitted from the light source onto a information recording surface of the optical information recording medium, the converging optical system having an objective lens; and an optical detector to receive reflected light from the optical information recording medium. The objective lens is a plastic lens, has a diffracting section on at least one surface thereof and satisfies the following conditional formula: 0.3≦&phgr;R/&phgr;≦1.5 where &phgr;R represents a refracting power of the objective lens on wavelength &lgr; (nm) of the light source and &phgr; represents a power of the objective lens in wavelength &lgr; nm of the light source.
摘要:
A large-aperture single lens with aspherical surfaces to be used as a pickup lens for video disks, especially for tracking the video disk by directly moving the pickup lens. It is preferable that the single lens is made of plastic material in order to make it compact and light in weight. Both refractive surfaces of the single lens are arranged to have positive refractive powers in order to make the working distance of the lens long. Spherical aberration of the single lens is corrected to the degree that the diameter of the circle of confusion thereof is decided approximately by diffraction of light. Both refractive surfaces of the single lens are formed as aspherical surfaces and the shapes of the refractive surfaces are determined so as to correct aberrations including the sine condition to the required range, by taking the error to be caused at the time of manufacture into consideration.

An optical pickup apparatus for at least two kinds of optical information recording media, comprises a first light source; a second light source; an optical converging system; and a photo detector. An optical element of the optical converging system comprises a first region including an optical axis and a second region adjoining the first region and locating at the outside of the first region, the first region is a refractive surface and the second region is a diffractive surface. When a first light flux passes through the second region, the light amount of n-th order diffracted ray of the first light flux is larger than that of any other order diffracted ray of the first light flux, and when a second light flux passes through the second region of the optical element, the light amount of n-th order diffracted ray of the second light flux is larger than that of any other order diffracted ray of the second light flux, where n is an integer except 0.

An optical pickup apparatus for recording and/or reproducing information on an optical information recording medium includes a light source emitting a light flux, a light-converging optical system to converge a light flux emitted from the light source, having a coupling optical system which changes a divergent angle of a light flux emitted from the light source and an objective lens optical system which converges a light flux emerging from the coupling optical system on an information recording surface of the optical information recording medium, and an optical detector for detecting reflected light or transmitted light coming from the information recording surface of the optical information recording medium. In the optical pickup apparatus, at least one surface of the coupling optical system is provided with a diffraction surface by which the longitudinal spherical aberration on the occasion wherein light having a wavelength differing from that of light with a prescribed wavelength by a prescribed difference of wavelength is made to enter the objective lens optical system through the coupling optical system is made to be smaller, compared with the longitudinal spherical aberration on the occasion wherein light having a wavelength different by a prescribed difference of wavelength is made to enter the objective lens optical system.

A projection lens for a three-tube television projector of the type in which three CRT's of blue, green and red are projected on the screen. The projection lens comprises a plastic first lens having an extremely small refracting power, a glass second lens, a plastic third lens and a plastic fourth lens disposed immediately before a face plate of CRT. There are large spaces between the first lens and the second lens and between the third lens and the fourth lens so that reflecting mirrors may respectively be arranged therebetween. For reducing the cost, the fourth lens can be formed from a liquid lens filled with a liquid between a thin-wall shell and a face plate.
