[0059] image 3 The objective lens according to the first numerical embodiment is schematically represented. exist image 3 In , the objective lens 10 and the first optical disk D1 are shown. The laser beam is incident on the objective lens 10 as a parallel luminous flux (ie, the object distance is infinite), and is converged onto the data recording surface of the first optical disc D1. Table 2 shows numerical values.

[0060] In the first embodiment, the first surface 11 is divided into a central region RC and a peripheral region RE. The central region RC is defined as a region of 0≦h<1.50 (mm), and the peripheral region RE is defined as a region of 1.50≦h, where h represents the height relative to the optical axis of the objective lens 10 . The central region RC is a continuous surface without a stepped portion, and the peripheral region RE has a diffractive lens structure that changes the dependence of spherical aberration on the wavelength of light passing therethrough...

[0089] Figure 8 A front view of the objective lens 10 according to the third embodiment is shown. Similar to the first and second embodiments, the first surface 11 of the objective lens 10 is divided into a central region RC (0≤h<1.50) and a peripheral region RE (1.50≤h). In the peripheral region RE, a diffractive lens structure that can change the wavelength dependence of spherical aberration on light passing therethrough is formed. Also according to the third embodiment, another diffractive lens structure is formed in the central region RC to compensate for chromatic aberration. The second surface 12 of the objective lens 10 is a rotationally symmetrical aspherical surface without a diffractive lens structure.

[0090] Table 4 shows the numerical structure of the objective lens 10 according to the third embodiment.

Abstract

A single element objective lens for an optical disc drive converges a laser beam, which is emitted by a laser source, on a data recording surface of an optical disc through a protective layer of the optical disc. One surface of the objective lens is divided into a central area including an optical axis thereof and a peripheral area surrounding the central area. The peripheral area is provided with a diffraction lens structure formed by a plurality of concentric annular zones including minute steps. The central area is a continuous surface having no stepped portions. The diffraction lens structure compensates for variation of converging characteristic of the objective lens due to a change of a temperature.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to a high NA objective lens generally used in optical heads in optical disc drives using optical discs such as DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), MO (Magneto-Optical) discs and the like. [0002] Recently, in order to meet the demand for reducing the size and weight of the optical disc drive, a plastic objective lens having both surfaces aspherical has been used in such an optical disc drive. [0003] Although plastic lenses offer several advantages, compared to glass lenses, the refractive index and / or shape of plastic lenses can easily change with changes in temperature, and due to this changeable property, the characteristics of plastic lenses may change . For example, the refractive index of a plastic lens decreases as the temperature increases. Then, the spherical aberration of the plastic lens changes in the overcorrection direction, and the wavefront aberration increases. Usually, the ratio of plastic lens r...
