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.

An optical recording medium is provided with a plurality of recording layers, wherein the recording layers are formed such that all the spacings between two recording layers in all the combinations selected from the plurality of recording layers do not coincide with each other. Accordingly, the return of lights reflected by other layers to an optical head along the same optical path as reflected light from a readout layer during the reproduction can be avoided. Therefore, an optical recording medium, from which a good reproduction signal can be obtained, can be provided by suppressing the deterioration of a servo signal and a reproduction signal of a reproducing device due to a variation of interference fringes on a light receiving element.

An optical head device has at least one upward-reflecting mirror, objective lenses, an objective lens actuator, and a moving mechanism. The upward-reflecting mirror receives an incident luminous flux having a wavelength emitted from a semiconductor, and changes its direction. The objective lenses having mutually different numerical apertures condenses the luminous flux whose direction has been changed by the upward-reflecting mirror to radiate a condensed luminous flux onto an information recording medium. The objective lens actuator moves the objective lenses in the focus direction of the information recording medium so that the luminous flux incident on the information recording medium becomes in a focused state. The moving mechanism moves the upward-reflecting mirror so that the luminous flux is incident on the information recording medium via any one of the objective lenses.

摘要:
An optical recording/reproducing apparatus comprises: a light receiving and emitting device that emits divergent optical beams and detects various signals on a disk; a collimator lens for converting the optical beams emitted from the device into parallel beams; an objective lens for converging the optical beams of the parallel beams onto the disk; and an objective-lens drive for driving the objective lens in a focusing direction perpendicular to a recording surface of the disk and in a radial direction parallel to the recording surface. The objective-lens drive is supported by suspensions attached at one end to a lens holder for holding the objective lens and to a fixing member at their other ends. The collimator lens is positioned between the objective lens and the fixing member. Thus, the optical recording/reproducing apparatus can be reduced in size and can improve the strength of the suspensions for supporting the objective-lens drive against disturbance vibration or impact caused when the optical recording/reproducing apparatus is dropped.
