An information recording medium of the optical information reproduction device of the present invention includes a recording unit capable of recording information three-dimensionally and provided with a track, and information is recorded by forming a plurality of recording marks along the track of the recording unit by a mark length recording method. When the track direction of the recording marks is assumed to be their longitudinal direction and the direction perpendicular to the track direction is assumed to be their lateral direction, with the present invention, for recording marks located substantially in the same plane, the total area of elongated recording marks, whose longitudinal length is greater than their lateral length, is greater than the total area of recording marks having other than elongated shapes. The optical information reproduction device of the present invention includes a first light source for emitting a reproduction light having a wavelength λ1, an objective lens for focusing the reproduction light on the recording unit, and a first photodetector for detecting a reproduction signal from the reflected light from the recording unit. The focused reproduction light includes as its main component a polarized light component that is polarized perpendicular to the track direction. Also, the recording unit has a track pitch of no more than 1.3 times the wavelength λ1of the reproduction light.

A compound objective lens is composed of a hologram lens or transmitting a part of incident light without any diffraction to form a beam of transmitted light and diffracting a remaining part of the incident light to form a beam of first-order diffracted light, and an objective lens for converging the transmitted light to form a first converging spot on a front surface of a thin type of first information medium and converging the diffracted light to form a second converging spot on a front surface of a thick type of second information medium. Because the hologram selectively functions as a concave lens for the diffracted light, a curvature of the transmitted light differs from that of the diffracted light. Therefore, even though the first and second information mediums have different thicknesses, the transmitted light incident on rear surface of the first information medium is converged on the its front surface, and the diffracted light incident on a rear surface of the second information medium is converged on the its front surface. That is, the compound objective lens has two focal points.

An optical disk device is provided with an optical pickup that includes a convergent optical system having an objective lens for converging a light beam emitted from the laser light source to form a microspot on an optical disk and an aberration correcting optical system for controlling a spherical aberration of the convergent optical system, and performs information recording or reproduction with respect to a multi-layer optical disk having at least a first recording layer and a second recording layer. In the optical disk device, an operation of changing a correction quantity of the spherical aberration from a value adequate for the first recording layer to a predetermined value is started before an operation of moving a focus position of the microspot from the first layer to the second layer is completed. This allows a focus control to be performed stably with respect to the second recording layer in a state in which the spherical aberration correction already has been carried out, thereby preventing the focus control from failing due to an unsuccessful interlayer jump.

An optical head device includes a focusing optical system for focusing a laser beam emitted from a semiconductor laser light source on an optical information medium with an objective lens. A chromatic aberration correction element for correcting chromatic aberration occurring in the objective lens is provided between the semiconductor laser light source and the optical information medium. A light distribution correction element in which the transmittance increases with the distance from the center of the aperture surface of the objective lens is provided so as to correct a reduction of the intensity of the light incident on the aperture surface of the objective lens with the distance from the center of the aperture surface.

In a confocal optical system provided with a light source 13, a first focusing means 14, a second focusing means 16, an aperture 17, and a detector 18, the detector has plural light reception regions. A position displacement is detected by detecting an intensity distribution of an image caused by a position displacement between the focusing spot of the second focusing means 16 and the aperture 17 by the detector 18, and the position displacement is corrected by controlling the aperture position using driving means 19 and control means 20. Also, a position displacement of the aperture 17 in the optical axis direction is detected and corrected on the basis of a change in output of the detector 18 by oscillating the aperture 17 in the optical axis direction.

摘要:
An information recording medium includes a recording layer, in which information is recorded by two-photon absorption that occurs when recording light is focused on the recording layer. The recording layer (211, 212) contains a photosensitive polymer that includes a principal chain containing acrylate or methacrylate and a first side chain and a second side chain branched from the principal chain. The first side chain undergoes a cis-trans isomerization reaction upon absorption of the recording light, and the second side chain has a property of being oriented in about the same direction as a direction of the first side chain when the first side chain undergoes the cis-trans isomerization reaction.
