Benefits of technology

[0010] The present invention has been devised to solve the first problem of the prior art, and an object of the invention is to prevent the light gathering efficiency and the focused spot diameter from changing even when spherical aberration is corrected.

Problems solved by technology

With such an optical head, however, a slight error in optical disk substrate thickness would result in a large spherical aberration.
In this optical system, however, if the convex lens or the concave lens is moved along the optical axis to correct spherical aberration, there arises a first problem, that is, the light utilization efficiency varies.
However, when one of the lenses in the afocal optical system is moved to correct spherical aberration, the angle of the light incident on the object lens changes when viewed from the semiconductor laser as the light source, and hence there has been the first problem in that the light gathering efficiency and the diameter of the spot focused by the object lens change.
Hence, there arises a second problem, that is, it is desirable that the effective NA for the second layer be made larger.
Further, the light absorption is larger than in the case of a thin disk, hence a third problem.

[0116] Here, since the focal length of the convex lens is 10 mm, the distance from the convex lens to the first surface of the objective lens is also set to 10 mm, assuming that the aperture of the objective lens lies in the first surface of the objective lens. See FIG. 3.

Abstract

Disclosed is an optical head apparatus comprising: a light source; a collimating means of converting a beam of light emitted from the light source into a substantially parallel beam of light; a focusing means of focusing the light onto an information medium surface; a beam splitting means of splitting the beam of light modulated by the information medium; and a light receiving means of receiving the light modulated by the information medium, wherein a lens having a negative power and a lens having a positive power are arranged in this order as viewed from the collimating means side between the collimating means and the focusing means, and at least either one of the lenses is moved along an optical axis to correct spherical aberration occurring on the information medium surface, and wherein the distance from the lens having the positive power to the focusing means is set substantially equal to the focal length of the lens having the positive power.
