An optical pickup apparatus comprises: a first light source; a second light source; a third light source; and an objective optical element. The objective optical element comprises at least two areas comprising first and second optical path difference providing structures. A third light flux from the third light source passing the first optical path difference providing structure forms first and second best focuses. The third light flux passing the objective optical element forms a spot comprising a central spot portion; an intermediate spot portion; and a peripheral spot portion. The central spot portion is used for recording and/or reproducing information for a third optical disk, and the intermediate and peripheral spot portions are not used for recording and/or reproducing information for the third optical disk. The peripheral spot portion is formed on the third optical disk by the third light flux through the second optical path difference providing structure.
摘要:
An optical pickup apparatus including an objective lens capable of enhancing temperature characteristics and wavelength characteristics, and which enables compatibility for three types of optical discs of BDs, DVDs, and CDs by using the objective lens in common, an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus, and an objective lens suitable for it. In a first optical path difference providing structure in which at least a first basic structure and a second basic structure are superimposed on each other, an amount of a level difference in an optical axis direction can be reduced, whereby it becomes possible to suppress the lowering of a diffraction efficiency when wavelength changes. Further, in the first basic structure and the second basic structure deterioration of the spherical aberration due to the change of the refractive index of the objective lens can be corrected by utilizing a phenomenon that the wavelength of the light source rises similarly due to a rise in the environmental temperature.

An objective lens relating to the present invention includes a first optical path difference providing structure in which a first basic structure and a second basic structure are overlapped with each other. The first basic structure is a blaze-type structure which emits a Xth-order diffracted light flux, when the first light flux passes through the first basic structure, where the value of X is an odd integer. At least a part of the first basic structure arranged around an optical axis includes a step facing an opposite direction to the optical axis. The second basic structure is a blaze-type structure which emits a Lth-order diffracted light flux, when the first light flux passes through the second basic structure, where the value of L is an even integer. At least a part of the second basic structure arranged around the optical axis includes a step facing the optical axis.
摘要:
Provided are an optical pickup apparatus and an objective lens which can record and/or reproduce information for discs with different recording densities and can realize simplification of the structure of themselves and reducing cost. When the expression (1) is satisfied, step differences of a step structure can be further reduced than those in the case that d1=λ1(n−1) holds, and fine grooves corresponding to a steps structure, formed on an optical-surface transfer surface of a mold for molding the objective lens become shallow, to be easily processed. In addition, the moldability is enhanced because the material of the objective lens easily enters the inner portion of the grooves. Further, a fluctuation of a diffraction efficiency caused when wavelength of a light flux changes or temperature changes is reduced so that information can be recorded and/or reduced stably.
