An optical disc (120) has a first mark (131) disposed at the center of a track, a second mark (132) disposed away from the center of the track in a tracking direction thereof by a distance b1, and disposed away from the first mark (131) in the direction along the track by a distance L, and a third mark (133) disposed away from the center of the track in the tracking direction opposite to that of the second mark (132) by a distance b2, and disposed away from the first mark (131) in the direction along the track by a distance L2. The second and third marks (132) and (133) generate scattered light depending on the distance between a scattering medium (103) and each of the marks by irradiating the scattering medium (103) in an optical information apparatus with light. The distances b1 and b2 are smaller than 50 nm.

摘要:
A lens surface of a collimating lens closer to a light source is in contact with a retracted surface at one end surface of a barrel. On a projecting surface at an outer side of the one end surface of the barrel, grooves are formed at a plurality of positions symmetric with respect to an optical axis. An adhesive deposited in the grooves is applied to an outer circumferential surface of the collimating lens to fix the collimating lens in the barrel. Since the grooves are formed to be shallower than the retracted surface, the adhesive does not intrude onto the retracted surface. The barrel is pressed against a wall surface formed in an inner circumferential surface of a barrel holder main portion and having a V-shaped cross section by a leaf spring, thereby being held at a specified position in the barrel holder main portion. An amount of change in distance from a reference surface to a held position of the collimating lens per unit temperature is set to conform to a sum of an amount of change in movement of the light source from the reference position per unit temperature and an amount of change of back focus of the collimating lens per unit temperature.

摘要:
An optical head with excellent optical characteristics even when using a light source that substantially has a wavelength broadening is provided. The optical head includes a light source, an objective lens for focusing a light beam emitted from the light source on an information recording medium and a photodetector for detecting the light beam reflected from the information recording medium, wherein defocusing correction means and spherical aberration correction means are provided in an optical path between the light source and the information recording medium. Since both the defocusing correction means and the spherical aberration correction means are provided, while defocusing of a focused spot on the information recording medium caused by a wavelength broadening of the light source and chromatic aberration of the optical system can be corrected, the spherical aberration of the optical system caused by wavelength difference between a design wavelength and an incident wavelength also can be corrected. As a result, excellent optical characteristics can be obtained.
