Problems solved by technology

Like this, since the objective lens drivers 82 and 95 must be miniaturized, the force of the objective lens drivers 82 and 95 for driving the objective lenses 77 and 90 is reduced, and it is difficult to reproduce information from the optical disc at a higher RPM of the optical disc.

Embodiment 1

[0053] figure 1 A first embodiment of the optical head of the present invention is shown.

[0054] exist figure 1 Among them, the emitted light with a wavelength of about 650nm emitted by a semiconductor laser device 1 is converged by a converging lens 2 and converted into a substantially parallel beam 3 . The light beam 3 is p-polarized light, which enters and passes through the polarizing beam splitter 4 .

[0055] The light beam 3 passing through the polarizing beam splitter 4 is converted from linearly polarized light to substantially circularly polarized light by a 1 / 4 wave plate 5 , reflected by a mirror 6 , passes through an aperture control section 7 , and is incident on an objective lens 8 .

[0056] Such as Figure 2A As shown, the objective lens 8 includes a central portion A1, and a peripheral portion A2 surrounding the central portion A1. The numerical aperture (NA) of the central portion A1 is about 0.37, and the numerical aperture of the peripheral portion...

[0081] Figure 5 A second embodiment of the optical head of the present invention is shown.

[0082] exist Figure 5 Among them, the emission light with a wavelength of about 650nm emitted by the semiconductor laser device 21 is converged by a converging lens 22 and converted into a substantially parallel beam 23 . Light beam 23 is p-polarized light, incident and transmitted through polarizing beam splitter 24 . The light beam 23 transmitted through the polarization beam splitter 24 is reflected by a mirror 25 and is incident on a polarization hologram 26 .

[0083] Such as Image 6 As shown, the polarization hologram 26 is a hologram on a LiNb substrate with birefringence properties, and is configured to diffract ordinary light and transmit extraordinary light. Alternatively, the hologram can also be formed by subjecting a LiNb substrate to proton exchange.

[0084] Almost all components of the light beam 23 are extraordinary light, which enters and passes through the po...

Embodiment 3

[0097] Figure 8 A third embodiment of the optical head of the present invention is shown.

[0098] exist Figure 8 Among them, the emitted light with a wavelength of about 650nm emitted by a first semiconductor laser device 41 is p-polarized light, passes through a first polarization beam splitter 42, and then enters an optical path combining / decomposing device 43 . The light path combination / decomposition device 43 is configured to transmit light beams with a wavelength of about 650 nm and reflect light beams with a wavelength of about 780 nm. In this way, the emission light with a wavelength of about 650nm emitted by the first semiconductor laser device 41 passes through the optical path combining / decomposing device 43 and is then converged by the converging lens 46 to be converted into a substantially circularly polarized light beam 47 .

Abstract

The objective lens of the present invention includes a center portion and a periphery portion surrounding the center portion. An aberration of the periphery portion is corrected such that a light spot is formed by the convergence of a luminous flux which has been transmitted through the periphery portion and then transmitted through a first light transmissive flat plate, and an aberration of the center portion is corrected such that a light spot is formed by the convergence of a luminous flux which has been transmitted through the center portion and then transmitted through a second light transmissive flat plate which is thicker than the first light transmissive flat plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an objective lens for converging light beams emitted from a light source onto an information recording surface of an optical disc, and to an optical head and an optical disc device using the objective lens for recording or reproducing information on or from an optical disc . Background technique [0002] The objective lens used for the optical head is designed according to the given substrate thickness of the optical disc. Thus, when an optical disc having a base material thickness different from a predetermined thickness is loaded, spherical aberration occurs so that its convergence performance deteriorates, making it difficult to accurately record information on or reproduce information from the optical disc. All conventional optical discs, including so-called "compact discs (CDs), ie read-only discs for music reproduction, video discs and magneto-optical discs for data storage, have a substrate thickness of about 1....
