摘要:
Provided is an objective lens for an optical pickup apparatus. The objective lens collects diffracted light generated by an optical path difference giving structure onto the information recording surface of an optical information recording medium as a spot and suppresses fluctuation of diffraction efficiency due to a change of using wavelength. The optical pickup apparatus using such objective lens is also provided. The total diffraction efficiency can be improved by adjusting a wavelength at which the diffraction efficiencies of a plurality of basic structures forming the optical path difference giving structure in the objective lens are maximum, in accordance with a basic structure.

An optical pickup apparatus according to the present invention includes: a first light source for emitting a first light flux; a second light source for emitting a second light flux; a third light source for emitting-a third light flux; and an objective optical element. The objective optical element has an optical surface including at least two areas provided with optical path difference providing structures. The objective optical element converges the first to third light fluxes each passing through the predetermined areas on the objective optical element onto respective information recording surfaces of the first to third optical disks. The optical pickup apparatus provides a wavelength dependency of a spherical aberration so as to correct a change in a spherical aberration due to a refractive index change with a temperature change of the objective optical element.

摘要:
An optical element for an optical pickup device which can record and/or reproduce information interchangeably with an optical disc while correcting coma satisfactorily, and a compact optical pickup device employing that optical element and exhibiting excellent energy saving. In the optical element for an optical pickup device where a first objective lens portion and a second objective lens portion are formed integrally, one of the first objective lens portion and the second objective lens portion satisfies a relation |HCM|/|TCM| 0.3. The HCM represents the third-order angle of view coma sensitivity in the first objective lens portion or the second objective lens portion, and the TMC represents the third-order inclination angle coma sensitivity in the first objective lens portion or the second objective lens portion.
