摘要:
In an optical head device which performs recording/reading of data in/from a high-density optical disc using an objective lens with a large NA, a saw-tooth shape diffraction element is used for also performing recording/reading of data in/from a conventional optical disc, such as DVD, CD, or the like. A step difference that produces an optical path length for blue light which is equal to or longer than the wavelength of the blue light and optical path lengths for red and infrared light which are shorter than the wavelengths of the red and infrared light is utilized so as to exert an inverse action on the blue light to those exerted on the red and infrared light. The effect of increasing the working distances for CD and DVD enables multiple compatibility. The optical element is integrally combined with the objective lens to perform a tracking servo following operation.

An optical disc type is determined by detecting focus error signals and an amount of returned light, while (i) emitting light having a wavelength maximizing a focal length and (ii) moving an objective lens in a direction of an optical axis. If an S shape and AS immediately after a surface are greater than those at the surface, the optical disc is determined to have a largest capacity. It is also determined whether there is a reflective layer at a depth equal or less than 0.1 mm, if not, then it is determined whether there is a reflective layer at a depth of 0.6 mm. If there is a reflective layer at the depth of 0.6 mm, then the type of the reflective layer is determined based on TE/RF signals, using blue light. If the blue light is not adaptable, red light is emitted to replay at a depth of 0.6 mm.

A compound objective lens, an optical head device, an optical information device, and an information processing device that can inhibit the occurrence of aberration even when a light beam source wavelength shifts from the designed value. A diffraction structure having a sawtooth or stepwise cross section is formed in the region (R10) and region (R20). The height of the sawtooth or stepwise cross section formed in the region (R10) provides a light beam, which has a predetermined wavelength, with a difference in optical path length of N times the predetermined wavelength, as compared with a case of propagation in air. The height of the sawtooth or stepwise cross section formed in the region (R20) provides the light beam, which has the predetermined wavelength, with a difference in optical path length of J times the predetermined wavelength, as compared with a case of propagation in air. At least one of the difference in height between both ends of a boundary band (RB) provided between the region (R10) and the region (R20), and the width of the boundary band (RB) provides the light beam, which has the predetermined wavelength, with a difference in optical path length of (N+J)/2 times (N and J are mutually different natural numbers) the predetermined wavelength, as compared with a case of transmission in air.

An optical head device includes a light blocking region (7y) which is disposed on a light flux of a reflected light beam resulting from reflection by a recording layer on which a blue light beam is focused, and blocks, when there are at least two recording layers on a blue light beam incident side of the recording layer on which the blue light beam is focused or on a side thereof opposite to the blue light beam incident side, reflected light beams resulting from reflection by the at least two recording layers which are incident on a region in a photodetector (9) where the reflected light beams resulting from the reflection by the at least two recording layers interfere with each other. The light blocking region (7y) is not formed on an optical axis of the reflected light beam resulting from the reflection by the recording layer on which the blue light beam is focused. This configuration allows an improvement in the S/N ratio of a signal outputted from the photodetector.
