Title:
OPTICAL PICK-UP APPARATUS, OBJECTIVE LENS, DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENT, OPTICAL ELEMENT, AND RECORDING/REPRODUCING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008282524
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an optical pick-up apparatus capable of performing recording or reproduction of information to three kinds of optical information recording mediums having specifications different from each other.

In the optical pick-up apparatus, reproduction and/or recording of information is performed to a first optical information recording medium having a first protective substrate having a thickness t1 using a luminous flux having a wavelength 1 from a first light source 1 and reproduction and/or recording of information is performed to a second and a third optical information recording mediums having second and third protective substrates having thicknesses t2 and t3 (t3t2t1), respectively, using luminous fluxes having wavelengths 2 and 3 (123) from second and third light sources 2 and 3, respectively. The optical pick-up apparatus uses a common objective lens 8 constituted of one lens group for reproduction and/or recording of information to the first to the third optical information recording mediums and has a substrate thickness difference correcting means 7 for correcting spherical aberration changing caused by thickness difference of the first to the third protective substrates.
