There is provided an objective lens for an optical pick-up used for different types of optical discs. The objective lens has at least one surface on which a plurality of annular zones are formed. The at least one surface is divided into an inner area having a low NA and an outer area having high NA outside the inner area. Further, with regard to a light beam used for a second optical disc (e.g., a DVD), an optical path difference generated between at least one of steps formed between adjacent annular zones of the plurality of annular zones within the outer area is lower by a predetermined amount than an integral multiple of a wavelength of the light beam used for the second optical disc.
摘要:
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

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

摘要:
A single-element objective lens for an optical pick-up directs an incident light beam to a data recording surface of an optical disc through a cover layer to form a beam spot thereon. A numerical aperture of the objective lens is 0.7 or more. The objective lens is configured to compensate for coma such that a characteristic of a change of spherical aberration due to a degree of divergence/convergence of the incident beam is comparable with respect to a characteristic of a change of spherical aberration due to variation of the cover layer so that the change of spherical aberration due to variation of the cover layer can be cancelled by the change of spherical aberration due to a degree of divergence/convergence of the incident beam.
摘要:
The objective lens is a biconvex plastic lens having first and second surfaces which are both aspheric. The objective lens is divided into an inside area which is inside of a circle of an effective diameter of the objective lens and an outside area which is outside of the circle of the effective diameter. A diffractive lens structure having a plurality of concentric ring-shaped steps is formed in the inside area. A surface of the outside area is continuous with no steps and corresponds to a macroscopic base curve of the inside area. The objective lens has a gap of a spherical aberration between the inside area and the outside area.
