Provided is a method of manufacturing an optical disk having at least a cover layer, a first information recording surface, a first intermediate layer, a second information recording surface, a second intermediate layer, and a third information recording surface in order from a surface irradiated with a light beam on at least one side, wherein a numerical aperture of an objective lens that converges the light beam on any of the recording surface of the optical disk when information recording or information reproduction of the optical disk is performed is 0.91, standard value dk of each thickness from the surface to the first to third information recording surfaces is set on the premise of standard refractive index no, where k is 1, 2, 3, and a target value of each actual thickness from the surface to the first to third information recording surfaces is determined by a product of conversion coefficient g(n) depending on refractive index n from the first to third information recording surfaces, and standard value dk.
Abstract:
This objective lens has a single lens that has a numerical aperture of 0.85 or more. A base material thickness th and a base material thickness tm differ from each other. The base material thickness th is a thickness where third-order spherical aberration is minimized when a light beam that is substantially parallel is input to the objective lens, and the base material thickness tm is a thickness where total aberration is minimized when third-order spherical aberration is minimized by changing parallelism of the light beam input to the objective lens from a parallel state.

The objective lens is a single lens having the numerical aperture NA and a refractive index n, and is configured so as to satisfy: NA≥0.91 and 1.61≤n

A recording device of the present disclosure includes a light source, an objective lens, a beam splitter, an optical element, a detector and an operation circuit. The optical element divides a light beam into a first main region, a second main region, a first main end region, a second main end region, a first sub-region, and a second sub-region. The operation circuit generates a main signal in which a first main end region signal is multiplied by a coefficient a and added to the first main region signal, and a second main signal in which a second main end region signal is multiplied by the coefficient α and added to the second main region signal.
