As shown in Figure 2, the 1st of diffraction lens 2 the 2a be divided into optical axis OA2 be the middle section CA of central circular and middle section CA around neighboring area PA.Middle section CA has phase structure, and neighboring area PA is a tabular surface.The laser of the wavelength 655nm that middle section CA uses for DVD has diffractive, but the laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses for BD does not have diffractive.That is, incide at the laser of the wavelength 655nm that DVD uses under the situation of middle section CA and disperse with the power of regulation because of diffraction effect laser, the next laser of situation that the laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses at BD incides middle section CA and neighboring area PA remain untouched by and do not produce diffraction effect.That is, under the situation of present embodiment, by object lens body 1 combination with diffraction lens 2, for DVD with and two kinds of laser using of BD just can carry out interchangeable imaging with desirable precision, and each laser can be read light as the information of each CD or the information recording light is used.
In addition, the optical axis OA2 of said here diffraction lens 2 is so because the 2nd 2b is that tabular surface is consistent with the optical axis of the 2nd 2a.
In addition, on object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2, be formed with mark M1, the M2 of circular overshooting shape respectively, as the telltale mark of the benchmark that is used for separately optical axis OA1, center that OA2 passes through are positioned mutually.
Fig. 3 (a)~(f) is the sectional drawing of explanation concrete example of formed multi-stage type diffraction structure as phase structure on the middle section CA of the 1st 2a that is arranged at diffraction lens 2.This multi-stage type diffraction structure has the section configuration that will comprise optical axis OA2 and is set as stair-stepping pattern and is concentric circles and arranges, number to regulation grade face number (being 5 grade faces in Fig. 3 (a)~(f)) makes the structure of ladder displacement one by one with the height corresponding to the exponent number of this grade face number part (is 4 rank) in Fig. 3 (a)~(f), and the situation with laser incident of the wavelength 655nm that uses at DVD issues living diffraction light and do not produce the characteristic that diffraction effect ground does not remain untouched it is seen through in that the situation of the laser incident of wavelength 405nm is next.About this multi-stage type diffraction structure at ISOM ' 03 (INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ONOPTICAL MEMORY 2003) thus 230 pages~231 pages of technical digests in to some extent record omit detailed explanation here.Fig. 3 (a) and (b) represent that the inclination of each pattern is the example that benchmark becomes unidirectional multi-stage type diffraction structure with optical axis OA2, Fig. 3 (c), (d) are illustrated in the example that periphery is provided with the multi-stage type diffraction structure of phase inversion portion (paraphase portion), and Fig. 3 (e), (f) represent that the inclination of each pattern is become the example of opposite multi-stage type diffraction structure in the outside by phase inversion portion.
In addition, as phase structure, also can be the zigzag diffraction structure of zigzag fashion or all jumps shown in Fig. 4 (e), (f) with the section configuration that comprises optical axis OA2 shown in Fig. 3 (g), (h) and Fig. 4 (a)~(d) with optical axis OA2 be that the optical path difference towards beginning to replace from the way that benchmark becomes unidirectional stepped diffraction structure or the jump shown in Fig. 4 (g), (h) is given structure, be formed on the middle section CA of the 1st 2a that is arranged at diffraction lens 2.Fig. 3 (g), (h) represent that the inclination of each sawtooth is the example that benchmark becomes unidirectional zigzag diffraction structure with optical axis OA2, Fig. 4 (a) and (b) are illustrated in the example that periphery is provided with the zigzag diffraction structure of phase inversion portion, and Fig. 4 (c), (d) represent that the inclination of each sawtooth is become the example of opposite zigzag diffraction structure in the outside by phase inversion portion.
Turn back to Fig. 1, picture frame 3 is cylindric the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion 4,5 that has the jump shape at two ends; The the 1st and the 2nd reference field 6,7 of ring-type; The 3rd reference field 11 of the diaphragm 10 of ring-type, ring-type and the 3rd fitting portion 12.The the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion the 4, the 5th has the cylinder inner face of jump respectively, and flange (mounting edge) 1f, the 2f of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 fixed along the optical axis vertical direction respectively.The the 1st and the 2nd reference field 6,7 is connected respectively to the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion 4,5 and forms, and for when the installation of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2, is used for flange 1f, 2f are carried out reference of reference along optical axis OA1, OA2 direction.The 2nd fitting portion 5 is provided with play (gap) 8.This play 8 can be in the inching to the center is coincide with respect to object lens body 1 of diffraction lens 2.The bonding agent that is formed with the chamfering shape in the end of the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion 4,5 accumulates portion 9.Accumulate portion 9 by this bonding agent and cooperate with flange part 1f, the 2f periphery of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 and form V-shaped groove, the bonding back of two lens 1,2 or bonding in prevent that bonding agent from spilling into around.Between the 1st fitting portion 4 and the 2nd fitting portion 5 and the diaphragm 10 that is disposed at picture frame 3 inwalls carry out the cut-out (cut) of the unwanted light of object lens 50 when using or the adjustment of light quantity.The 3rd reference field 11 is that with the optical axis OA1 direction or the relevant reference for installation that tilts, the 3rd fitting portion 12 is the benchmark relevant with the optical axis vertical direction when installing as the retainer of the parts of optical Pickup device etc.

In addition, the situation that also has optical axis OA1 to tilt because of the foozle of object lens body 1 etc.The optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 2 also relatively tilts with respect to the optical axis OA1 of object lens body 1 in the case, gets final product so the result handles as the relative tilt of the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2.
Below, be described with regard to the manufacturing process of the object lens in the present embodiment 50.At first, object lens body 1 is installed on picture frame 3.Making the flange surface of object lens body 1 be connected to the 1st reference field 6 injects bonding agent with bonding agent and accumulates portion 9.Thus, object lens body 1 just is fixed on assigned position.At this moment, because remaining bonding agent stays bonding agent and accumulates portion 9, so around just can preventing that bonding agent from spilling in bonding or after bonding.
Then, with picture frame 3 on the object lens body installed 1 a mutually opposed side diffraction lens 2 is installed.Make the flange surface of diffraction lens 2 be connected to the 2nd reference field 7 and carry out location with object lens body 1.At this moment, it is also bigger slightly than the profile of diffraction lens 2 that the 2nd fitting portion 5 is designed to its internal diameter, and this difference just becomes play 8.Thus, diffraction lens 2 is movable on the direction vertical with respect to optical axis direction, carries out relative location while just can observe opposed object lens body 1 on the optical axis vertical direction.
Behind the location of having carried out diffraction lens 2, bonding agent is injected bonding agent accumulate portion 9.Thus, diffraction lens 2 is just to be fixed through the state of aiming at.At this moment, because remaining bonding agent stays bonding agent and accumulates portion 9, so around just can preventing that bonding agent from spilling in bonding or after bonding.In addition, diaphragm 10 prevents that in addition bonding agent from entering the effect of drip when picture frame 3 inside.
Make object lens 50 by above processing.As described above, object lens 50 is also further to have used three parts of picture frame 3 to constitute except that object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2.Thus, just can carry out the relative positioning on the optical axis vertical direction of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 in advance accurately.
In addition, in this explanation, be to establish object lens body 1 formerly about the order of installing, diffraction lens 2 after.This is to observe convenience in such design in order to be easy to the diffraction lens less from focal power 2 one sides when the location.But, for example object lens body 1 is being set as under the situation about positioning behind, it is also harmless to change the order of installing.Under the situation that changes erection sequence, play is set in the 1st fitting portion 4 sides.In addition, as other fixing means, for example, can also two lens 1,2 be fixed with respect to picture frame 3 by laser bonding.In addition, not only can also play all be arranged the both sides of diffraction lens 2 and object lens body 1 in diffraction lens 2 sides.
Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 conceptually illustrate the expanded view of diffraction lens 2 for the state before and after the aligning of object lens body 1.As shown in Figure 5, under the state before aligning, allow the inclination of diffraction lens 2, the optical axis OA2 that establishes diffraction lens 2 with the inboard center IC as the intersection point of the 2nd 2b and optical axis OA2 be fulcrum, with respect to the optical axis OA1 tilt angle theta of object lens body 1.Like this, even if tilt also not make the imaging characteristic deterioration of object lens 50 for diffraction lens 2, wish as shown in Figure 6, for example from the laser LL of the optical axis OA1 incident abreast of light source side and object lens body 1 by mark M2 as the heart among the diffraction lens 2, and then, by mark M1, and advance along optical axis OA1 and to aim at like this as the heart among the object lens body 1.Like this, on optical axis OA1 direction, make object lens body 1 consistent, then no matter how the value of the tiltangle of diffraction lens 2 can both lower the coma aberration that takes place as object lens 50 at least with the center of diffraction lens 2 by utilizing mark M1, M2.As shown in Figure 5, under the state before aligning, the position of two mark M1, M2 is offset by distance X on the optical axis vertical direction.This distance X is that d, pitch angle are to utilize following formula X=d (sin θ-sin (θ/n)) to provide after the refractive index of θ and diffraction lens 2 is n at the thickness of establishing diffraction lens 2.Before aligning owing to resulting from this offset X the relevant coma aberration of wavelength 655nm used with DVD takes place, so need make mark M2 on optical axis vertical direction the respective offsets distance X of the mark M1 of object lens body 1 by aligning, come substantially to suppress the generation of coma aberration thus with respect to diffraction lens 2.Such aligning can be realized fairly simplely, particularly, on optical axis OA1, observe the object lens body 1 that is installed on picture frame 3 on one side and dispose diffraction lens 2 in the front of object lens body 1 side on one side, the consistent diffraction lens 2 that makes like this of two mark M1, M2 is moved in the 2nd fitting portion 5 of picture frame 3 from the drawing left side.Thus, all states are as shown in Figure 6 just realized, and can be guaranteed the imaging characteristic of object lens 50.In addition, because the optical axis OA1 direction of object lens body 1 can determine by means of various measuring devices fairly simplely, so wait viewing objective body 1 and diffraction lens 2 by means of microscope from such optical axis OA1 direction that determines.When observing, aim at like this as long as two mark M1, M2 are consistent in picture.
Below, with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, with regard to the generation of concrete aberration and proofread and correct and describe.In addition, for convenience of explanation, establishing diffraction lens 2 and be with the inboard center IC as the intersection point of the 2nd 2b and optical axis OA2 is fulcrum with respect to object lens body 1 cant angle theta=3 °.Under this state be these three kinds of the inclinations of the skew of the inclination of the 1st 2a, the 1st 2a, the 2nd 2b with the eccentric error that takes place.The pitch angle of the pitch angle of the 1st 2a and the 2nd 2b is 3 °, and the relevant coma aberration of the wavelength 655nm that uses with DVD that takes place thus is respectively+105m λ RMS ,-105 λ m λ RMS and cancelled out each other.But, so just be-71m λ RMS for-71m λ RMS as the coma aberration of object lens 50 integral body owing to result from the relevant coma aberration of the wavelength 655nm that uses with DVD of skew of the 1st 2a.In addition, if the refractive index n of the wavelength 655nm that to establish the thickness d of diffraction lens 2 be 0.92mm, diffraction lens 2 uses for DVD is 1.505 then the offset X of the 1st 2a just is 16 μ m.
In addition, if consider to prevent the effect of the influence of back light, the optical effect for incident light of this phase control element (for example for using the dispersing of wavelength light, converging action etc.) then as the angle of inclination preferably more than or equal to 1 ° smaller or equal to 5 °.
The aberration of the constant object lens of using as DVD 50 of former state just will be above マ レ シ ヤ Le boundary, i.e. practical permissible range like this.Being roughly zero aligning with regard to the coma aberration that makes object lens 50 below describes.Utilize mark M1, M2 as shown in Figure 6, make the center (optical axis of object lens body 1 and the intersection point of optical surface) of object lens body 1 and the center of diffraction lens 2 (intersection point of the 1st, the 2nd 2a, the 2b of diffraction lens 2 and the optical axis OA2 of this diffraction lens 2) about consistent at the upwardly extending light path in the optical axis OA1 side of object lens body 1.Thus, the coma aberration as object lens 50 integral body just becomes 0m λ.Thereby, no matter how the value of the refractive index n of the thickness d of the tiltangle of diffraction lens 2, diffraction lens 2 and diffraction lens 2 can both make the coma aberration that takes place as object lens 50 be roughly zero.

In addition, identical with the 1st embodiment, because diffraction lens 102 also is that the 1st 102a forms with tabular surface, so the optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 102 is consistent with the optical axis of the 2nd 102b.
Identical with the situation of the 1st embodiment, establish the optical axis OA1 tilt angle theta of the optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 102 with respect to object lens body 1.Even if tilt also not make the imaging characteristic deterioration of object lens 150 like this for diffraction lens 102, for example wish that laser LL from the optical axis OA1 incident abreast of light source side and object lens body 1 is by the mark M2 as the heart among the diffraction lens 102, and then, by mark M1, and advance along optical axis OA1 as the heart among the object lens body 1.Like this, on optical axis OA1 direction, make object lens body 1 consistent, then no matter how the value of the tiltangle of diffraction lens 102 can both lower the coma aberration that takes place as object lens 150 at least with the center of diffraction lens 102 by utilizing mark M1, M2.
Be disposed at the way on the optical axis OA1 of object lens body 1 as mark M2 with diffraction lens 102, on optical axis OA1, observe the object lens body 1 that is installed on not shown picture frame on one side and dispose diffraction lens 102 in the front of object lens body 1 side on one side, the consistent diffraction lens 102 that makes like this of two mark M1, M2 is moved in picture frame from the drawing left side.Thus, all states are as shown in Figure 7 just realized, and can be guaranteed the imaging characteristic of object lens 150.
Below, the concrete example that is roughly zero aligning with regard to the coma aberration that makes object lens 150 describes.As shown in Figure 7, utilize mark M1, M2 in the prolongation of the optical axis OA1 of object lens body 1, to make the center of diffraction lens 2 consistent.The pitch angle of also establishing the 1st and the 2nd 102a, 102b in the case is 3 °.Under this state, the relevant coma aberration of the wavelength 655nm that uses with DVD of skew of the 1st 102a of resulting from is 0m λ, the coma aberration of inclination of the 1st 102a of resulting from is+105m λ, the coma aberration of inclination of the 2nd 2b of resulting from is-105m λ, so be 0m λ just as the coma aberration of object lens 150 integral body.Thereby, no matter how the value of the tiltangle of diffraction lens 102 can both make the coma aberration that takes place as object lens 150 be roughly zero.

(the 7th embodiment)
Below, describe with regard to the object lens of the 7th embodiment.The object lens of the 7th embodiment is out of shape the object lens 50 of the 1st embodiment shown in Figure 1, and is then common with the 1st embodiment as for the part that does not describe especially.
Figure 12 is the cross-sectional side view of the object lens 550 relevant with the 7th embodiment.Under the situation of this object lens 550, diffraction lens 502 not only has phase structure on the 1st 502a with respect to object lens body 1 inboard, also has phase structure on the 2nd 502b with respect to object lens body 1 table side.
The 1st 502a of diffraction lens 502, the laser of the wavelength 655nm that uses for DVD has diffractive, but the laser of the laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses for BD or wavelength 780nm that CD is used does not have diffractive.On the other hand, the laser of the wavelength 780nm that the 2nd 502b uses for CD has diffractive, but the laser of the wavelength 405nm that BD is used or the laser of the wavelength 655nm that DVD uses do not have diffractive.In addition, object lens body 1 is that object designs with the laser of the wavelength 405nm that BD uses, is aspheric glass lens or plastic lens.
Laser at the wavelength 655nm that DVD uses incides under the situation of this lens unit 550 from light source side (drawing left side), laser on the 1st 502a of diffraction lens 502 because of diffraction effect with the suitable power optically focused of regulation or disperse, and converged at the DVD usefulness information recording surface (not shown) of figure right side of face through object lens body 1.In addition, laser at the wavelength 780nm that CD uses incides under the situation of this lens unit 550 from light source side, laser on the 2nd 502b of diffraction lens 502 because of diffraction effect with the suitable power optically focused of regulation or disperse, and converged at the CD usefulness information recording surface (not shown) of figure right side of face through object lens body 1.In addition, laser at the wavelength 405nm that BD uses incides under the situation of this lens unit 550 from light source side, laser is not passed through by diffraction ground former state in diffraction lens 502, and converges at the BD information recording surface (not shown) of figure right side of face through object lens body 1.That is, under the situation of present embodiment, by object lens body 1 combination, just can carry out interchangeable imaging with each laser that, CD usefulness and BD use with desirable precision, and each laser can be read light as the information of each CD or the information recording light is used DVD with diffraction lens 502.
Figure 13 conceptually illustrates the expanded view of diffraction lens 502 with respect to the aligning of object lens body 1.As from figure as can be known, allow the inclination of diffraction lens 502, the optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 502 is with respect to the optical axis OA1 tilt angle theta of object lens body 1.Just must be if diffraction lens 502 tilts then like this with respect to the optical axis OA1 occurrence positions of object lens body 1 not just (dislocation) as at least one side among inboard center (intersection point of the optical axis of the 2nd 502b and the 2nd the 502b) IC of the mark M2 at the center (intersection point of the optical axis of the 1st 502a and the 1st 502a) of the 1st 502a and the 2nd 502b.That is, the 1st 502a carried out with respect to optical axis OA1 under the situation of aiming at, just occurrence positions is not just with the distance X X=d that yet once illustrated Fig. 5 (sin θ-sin (θ/n)) from optical axis OA1 at the center of the 2nd 502b, otherwise, the 2nd 502b carried out the situation of aiming at respect to optical axis OA1 under (with reference to the light LL ' among Figure 13), just in the opposite direction occurrence positions be not just with the distance X of mistake illustrated in fig. 5 from optical axis OA1 at the center of the 1st 502a.
In addition, as can be seen from Figure 13, in this example, on the 1st 502a, the 2nd 502b, be formed with phase structure respectively, and the optical axis of each face is consistent with the optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 502.
Generally speaking, because of the center of the 1st 502a or the 2nd 502b departing from the coma aberration that produces from the light LL that optical axis OA1 has been prolonged, reciprocal proportional with the substrate thickness of 3 powers of the NA value of object lens 550, CD and Wavelength of Laser.Here, the 1st 502a for example is that DVD uses, NA0.60, substrate thickness 0.6mm, wavelength 655nm, and the 2nd 502b for example is that CD uses, NA0.45, substrate thickness 1.2mm, wavelength 780nm.Thereby the coma aberration that produces in the malposition of establishing the 2nd 502b that uses because of CD is 1 o'clock, and the coma aberration that the malposition of the 1st 502a that uses because of DVD produces just becomes about 2~6 times.This means as can be known under the offset of the 1st 502a and situation that the offset of the 2nd 502b equates from this point, the off-centre of the 1st 502a just becomes the 2nd 502b to the contribution degree of coma aberration off-centre is to about 2~6 times of the coma aberration contribution degree, and the offset that reduces by the 1st 502a compared with the offset that reduces by the 2nd 502b seek overall performance improve aspect on meaningful.
On the other hand, under the situation that diffraction lens 502 tilts, can't avoid a certain side in the off-centre of eccentric or the 2nd 502b of the 1st 502a.That is, under the situation at the center that has disposed the 1st 502a on the light LL that advances along optical axis OA1 (being that the center prolongs light path), the center that just can't on light LL, dispose the 2nd 502b.Otherwise, with the center configuration of the 2nd 502b under the situation on the light LL, just can't be on light LL with the center configuration of the 1st 502a.For this reason, in the present embodiment, by in the 1st 502a, being formed centrally mark M2 and this mark M2 being configured on the light LL, just will be taken as Min. because of the 1st coma aberration that 502a produces that DVD uses, also allow the 2nd coma aberration of using because of CD that 502b produces simultaneously.That is, as shown in figure 13, make the center of object lens body 1 and the light path mutually consistent attenuating of seeking as a whole aberration of center about extending of diffraction lens 502 in the optical axis OA1 of object lens body 1 direction by utilizing mark M1, M2.
Figure 14 has diagrammatically represented to pack into the figure of formation of optical Pickup device of object lens shown in Figure 13 550.
In this optical Pickup device, utilize object lens 550 to be irradiated to CD DB, DD, DC from the laser of each semiconductor laser 61B, 61D, 61C as optical information recording medium, reflected light from each CD DB, DD, DC utilizes shared object lens 550 to put together, and finally is imported into each photodetector 67B, 67D, 67C.
Here, the laser that the information regeneration of the 1st CD DB uses (for example BD with, wavelength 405nm, NA0.85) takes place in the 1st semiconductor laser 61B, the laser that the information regeneration of the 2nd CD DD uses (for example DVD with, wavelength 655nm, NA0.60) takes place in the 2nd semiconductor laser 61D, and the laser that the information regeneration of the 3rd CD DC uses (for example CD with, wavelength 780nm, NA0.54) takes place the 3rd semiconductor laser 61C.In addition, the 1st photodetector 67B detects the information that write down on the 1st CD DB as light signal (for example BD with, wavelength 405nm), the 2nd photodetector 67D detects the information that write down on the 2nd CD DD as light signal (for example DVD with, wavelength 655nm), the 3rd photodetector 67C detects the information that write down on the 3rd CD DC as light signal (for example CD with, wavelength 780nm).
At first, under the situation that the 1st CD DB is regenerated, from the 1st semiconductor laser 61B outgoing laser of wavelength 405nm for example, the light beam of institute's outgoing sees through collimator 62B, polarization beam splitter 63B and becomes parallel beam.After this light beam sees through other polarization beam splitter 64D, 64C, converge to the information recording surface MB of the 1st CD DB by object lens 550.
On information recording surface MB according to the light beam of information concave point through the ovennodulation back reflection, see through object lens 550 etc. once more, incide polarization beam splitter 63B, reflecting the back at this is given and astigmatism by cylindrical lens 65B, go up incident to the 1st photodetector 67B, and utilize its output signal and the information that obtains to be write down on the 1st CD DB read signal.
In addition, to detecting because of the caused light quantity of change of shape, the change in location of luminous point changes, and focus (focusings) detects or follows the tracks of detection on the 1st photodetector 67B.Based on this detection, be installed in the two-dimensional adjustment device 72 on the retainer 71 that keeps object lens 550, object lens 550 is being moved on the optical axis direction so that image on the information recording surface MB of the 1st CD DB from the light beam of the 1st semiconductor laser 61B, object lens 550 is moved on the direction perpendicular to optical axis so that carry out imaging with the track of regulation from the light beam of the 1st semiconductor laser 61B.
Then, under the situation that the 2nd CD DD is regenerated, from the 2nd semiconductor laser 61D outgoing laser of wavelength 655nm for example, the light beam of institute's outgoing sees through collimator 62D, polarization beam splitter 63D and becomes parallel beam.After this light beam sees through other polarization beam splitter 64D, 64C, converge to the information recording surface MD of the 2nd CD DD by object lens 550.
On information recording surface MD according to the light beam of information concave point through the ovennodulation back reflection, see through thing lens unit 550 etc. once more, after reflecting, polarization beam splitter 64D incides polarization beam splitter 63D, reflecting the back at this is given and astigmatism by cylindrical lens 65D, go up incident to the 2nd photodetector 67D, and utilize its output signal and the information that obtains to be write down on the 2nd CD DD read signal.
In addition, identical with the situation of the 1st CD DB, on the 2nd photodetector 67D to detecting because of the caused light quantity of change of shape, the change in location of luminous point changes, the line focusing of going forward side by side detects or follows the tracks of and detect, be installed in the two-dimensional adjustment device 72 that the retainer that keeps object lens 550 is assembled, in order to focus on and track and object lens 550 is moved.
Then, under the situation that the 3rd CD DC is regenerated, from the 3rd semiconductor laser 61C outgoing laser of wavelength 780nm for example, the light beam of institute's outgoing sees through becomes parallel beam after collimator 62C, polarization beam splitter 63C reflect in polarization beam splitter 64C.This light beam is converged to the information recording surface MC of the 3rd CD DC by object lens 550.
On information recording surface MC according to the light beam of information concave point through the ovennodulation back reflection, see through object lens 550 etc. once more, with inciding polarization beam splitter 63C after the polarization beam splitter 64C reflection, reflecting the back at this is given and astigmatism by cylindrical lens 65C, go up incident to the 3rd photodetector 67C, and utilize its output signal and the information that obtains on the 3rd CD DC, to be write down read signal.
In addition, identical with the situation of the 1st and the 2nd CD DB, DD, on the 3rd photodetector 67C to detecting because of the caused light quantity of change of shape, the change in location of luminous point changes, the line focusing of going forward side by side detects or follows the tracks of and detect, and is installed in two-dimensional adjustment device 72 on the retainer that keeps object lens 550 in order to focus on and track and object lens 550 is moved.
In addition, though in the above embodiment, the 1st 502a that establishes diffraction lens 502 is DVD with, the 2nd 502b is CD usefulness, and also can establish the 1st 502a is that CD is that DVD uses with establishing the 2nd 502b.In the case, just with the center configuration of the 2nd 502b on the light LL that advances along optical axis OA1.
(the 8th embodiment)
Below, describe with regard to the object lens of the 8th embodiment.The object lens of the 8th embodiment is out of shape the object lens 550 of the 7th embodiment shown in Figure 12, and is then common with the 7th embodiment as for the part that does not describe especially.
Figure 15 is the cross-sectional side view of the object lens 650 relevant with the 8th embodiment.Under the situation of this object lens 650, in diffraction lens 602, not only in the 1st 502a, be formed centrally mark M2 ' and also in the 2nd 502b, be formed centrally mark M2 ".
Figure 16 conceptually illustrates the expanded view of diffraction lens 602 with respect to the aligning of object lens body 1.As from figure as can be known, allow the inclination of diffraction lens 602, the optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 602 is with respect to the optical axis OA1 tilt angle theta of object lens body 1.If diffraction lens 602 tilts then like this as the mark M2 ' at the center of the 1st 502a with as the mark M2 at the center of the 2nd 502b " in the just inevitable optical axis OA1 occurrence positions with respect to object lens body 1 of at least one side not just (dislocation).
As also once illustrating in the 7th embodiment, generally speaking, because of as the mark M2 ' at the center of the 1st 502a or as the mark M2 at the center of the 2nd 502b " substrate thickness, Wavelength of Laser reciprocal proportional of departing from 3 powers, the CD of the NA value of the coma aberration that produces and object lens 650 from the light LL that optical axis OA1 has been prolonged.So as long as the offset of the 1st 502a and the offset of the 2nd 502b are suited to adjust, just can make result from the 1st 502a off-centre coma aberration with result from the coma aberration approximate equality ground of off-centre of the 2nd 502b and carry out balance, perhaps, can also by desirable ratio set result from the 1st 502a off-centre coma aberration with result from the coma aberration of off-centre of the 2nd 502b.
Figure 17 represents to observe microscopic field of view MF behind the lens unit 650 shown in Figure 15 from light source side.On optical axis OA1, observe the object lens body 1 of the picture frame 3 that is installed on lens unit 650 on one side from the drawing left side, diffraction lens 602 is configured in the front side of object lens body 1 on one side, and diffraction lens 602 is moved in the 2nd fitting portion 5 of picture frame 3 so that mark M1 is positioned at position two mark M2 ', M2 " between.For example want to make result from the 1st 502a off-centre coma aberration with result under the situation of coma aberration approximate equality ground balance of off-centre of the 2nd 502b, diffraction lens 602 is aimed at so that mark M1 is positioned at the off-centre of the 1st 502a that the off-centre of the contribution degree of coma aberration and the 2nd 502b is got final product the position that the inverse of the ratio of the contribution degree of coma aberration carries out branch.Here, the 1st 502a for example is that DVD uses, NA0.60, substrate thickness 0.6mm, wavelength 655nm, and the 2nd 502b for example is that CD uses, NA0.45, substrate thickness 1.2mm, wavelength 780nm.Thereby the coma aberration that produces in the malposition of establishing the 2nd 502b that uses because of CD is 1 o'clock, and the coma aberration that the malposition of the 1st 502a that uses because of DVD produces just becomes about 2~6 times.Thus, as can be known for make result from the 1st 502a off-centre coma aberration with result from the coma aberration approximate equality ground balance of off-centre of the 2nd 502b, for example under the coma aberration that the malposition of the 1st 502a that uses because of DVD causes is 2 times situation, make mark M1 be present in two mark M2 ', M2 " between and from mark M2 ' 0.33D, from mark M2 " 0.66 position gets final product.By being that benchmark is adjusted two mark M2 ', M2 with mark M1 like this " the position, just can suitably adjust and result from the generation balance of coma aberration of inclination of two sides 502a, 502b.
(the 9th embodiment)
Be the figure that diagrammatically represents the formation of the optical Pickup device relevant below with the 9th embodiment.This optical Pickup device utilizes the object lens 550 relevant with the 7th embodiment shown in Figure 12.
Figure 18 is the expanded view that the state after diffraction lens 502 is with respect to the aligning of object lens body 1 conceptually is described.As from figure as can be known, allow the inclination of diffraction lens 502, the optical axis OA2 of diffraction lens 502 is with respect to the optical axis OA1 tilt angle theta of object lens body 1.As also once illustrating in the 7th embodiment, generally speaking, because of the center of the 1st 502a or the 2nd 502b departing from the coma aberration that produces from the light LL that optical axis OA1 has been prolonged, reciprocal proportional with the substrate thickness of 3 powers of the NA value of object lens 550, CD and Wavelength of Laser.If illustrate with concrete example, then this means as can be known under the offset of the 1st 502a and situation that the offset of the 2nd 502b equates, the off-centre of the 1st 502a just becomes the 2nd 502b to the contribution degree of coma aberration off-centre is to about 2~6 times of the coma aberration contribution degree, and the offset that reduces by the 1st 502a compared with the offset that reduces by the 2nd 502b in that to seek overall performance meaningful aspect improving.Thereby, by in the 1st 502a, being formed centrally mark M2 and this mark M2 being configured on the light LL, just will be taken as Min. because of the 1st coma aberration that 502a produces that DVD uses, also allow the 2nd coma aberration of using because of CD that 502b produces simultaneously.On the other hand, if can also lower, then can greatly reduce the aberration of object lens 550 with the coma aberration that additive method will produce because of the off-centre of the 2nd 502b.Based on such purpose, the light source position by wavelength 780nm that CD is used is disposed at the position that the light source position used from BD or DVD leaves, and lowers the coma aberration that the off-centre because of the 2nd 502b produces.
Figure 19 is the figure of formation that diagrammatically represents the optical Pickup device of present embodiment.This optical Pickup device, the object lens 550 shown in Figure 12,18 of having packed into has same structure with the optical Pickup device relevant with the 6th embodiment shown in Figure 11 except that light source.
Figure 20 is the figure that the vertical section structure of 3 long wavelength semiconductor lasers of being assembled in optical Pickup device shown in Figure 19 761 is described.As from figure as can be known, be formed with the 1st and the 2nd laser diode 761a, the 761b of 2 layers of structure in the left part of semiconductor laser chip 761X, be formed with the 3rd independent laser diode 761 at the right side of semiconductor laser 761 branch.The laser that the information regeneration of the 1st CD DB uses (for example BD with, wavelength 405nm) takes place in the 1st laser diode 761a, the laser that the information regeneration of the 2nd CD DD uses (for example DVD with, wavelength 655nm) takes place in the 2nd laser diode 761b, and the laser that the information regeneration of the 3rd CD DC uses (for example CD with, wavelength 780nm) takes place the 3rd laser diode 761c.Such as shown, the 1st and the 2nd laser diode 761a, 761b aim at along optical axis OA and are configured, and are configured but the 3rd laser diode 761c then leaves distance, delta X from optical axis OA.Coma aberration will take place in its result when the imaging of the 3rd laser diode 761c, but such coma aberration, the opposite size of coma aberration direction that produces as the off-centre because of the 2nd 5b2b in the illustrated mistake of Figure 18 is identical.That is, just approach zero at 405nm that BD uses, 655nm that DVD uses, 780nm that CD uses in all by the coma aberration of object lens 550 formed focal points, and reach good aberration correction.
(the 10th embodiment)
Figure 21 is the cross-sectional side view of the object lens 50 relevant with the 10th embodiment.Under the situation of this object lens 50, have interchangeability for the mutual different three kinds of CDs (for example CD, DVD and BD) of specification (recording density etc.), can on these CDs, constitute on recording/reproducing information ground.In addition, this object lens 50 has convergence forms focal point from the laser (make and use up) of not shown light source and on not shown CD the object lens body 1 as object optical element; Be used to form diffraction light as the diffraction lens 2 of phase control element and be used for the integrated picture frame 3 that fixes of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 as the barrel shape of holding components.Here, object lens body 1 is for example formed by materials such as glass, and diffraction lens 2 and picture frame 3 are for example formed by plastics or the material that adds the fine glass particle of tens of number percents in plastics.
If specifically describe, it is diffractive to be exactly that the laser of the wavelength 655nm that uses for DVD of the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2 has, but the laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses for BD or the laser of the wavelength 780nm that CD uses do not have diffractive.On the other hand, the laser of the wavelength 780nm that the 2nd 2b uses for CD has diffractive, but the laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses for BD or the laser of the wavelength 655nm that DVD uses do not have diffractive.In addition, the laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses with BD of object lens body 1 designs as object.
Laser at the wavelength 655nm that DVD uses incides under the situation of this object lens 50 from light source side (drawing left side), laser on the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2 because of diffraction effect with the suitable power optically focused of regulation or disperse, converged to the DVD usefulness information recording surface (not shown) of figure right side of face through object lens body 1.In addition, laser at the wavelength 780nm that CD uses incides under the situation of this object lens 50 from light source side, laser on the 2nd 2b of diffraction lens 2 because of diffraction effect with the suitable power optically focused of regulation or disperse, converged to the CD usefulness information recording surface (not shown) of figure right side of face through object lens body 1.In addition, incide from light source side under the situation of this object lens 50 at the laser of the wavelength 405nm that BD uses, laser is not subjected to diffraction and remains untouched by, the BD that is converged to the figure right side of face through object lens body 1 with information recording surface (not shown) at diffraction lens 2.That is, under the situation of present embodiment, combination by object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 can to CD with, DVD with and each laser of using of BD carry out interchangeable imaging with desirable precision, and each laser can be read light as the information of each CD or the information recording light is used.
In addition, on object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2, be formed with mark M1, the M2 of circular overshooting shape respectively, as the telltale mark of the benchmark that is used for separately optical axis OA1, center that OA2 passes through are positioned mutually.
Figure 22 (a)~(f) is the sectional drawing of explanation concrete example of formed multi-stage type diffraction structure as phase structure on the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2.This multi-stage type diffraction structure has the section configuration that will comprise optical axis OA1 and is set as stair-stepping pattern and is concentric circles and arranges, number to regulation grade face number (being 5 grade faces in Figure 22 (a)~(f)) makes the structure of ladder displacement one by one with the height corresponding to the exponent number (is 4 rank) of this grade face number part in Figure 22 (a)~(f), and the situation with laser incident of the wavelength 655nm that uses at DVD issues living diffraction light and do not produce the characteristic that diffraction effect ground does not remain untouched it is seen through in that the situation of the laser incident of wavelength 405nm, 780nm is next.About this multi-stage type diffraction structure at ISOM ' 03 (INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OPTICALMEMORY 2003) thus 230 pages~231 pages of technical digests in to some extent record omit detailed explanation here.In the above, Figure 22 (a) and (b) represent that the inclination of each pattern is the example that benchmark becomes unidirectional multi-stage type diffraction structure with optical axis OA1, Figure 22 (c), (d) are illustrated in the example that periphery is provided with the multi-stage type diffraction structure of phase inversion portion (paraphase portion), and Figure 22 (e), (f) represent that the inclination of each pattern is become the example of opposite multi-stage type diffraction structure in the outside by phase inversion portion.
In addition, as phase structure, also can be the zigzag diffraction structure of zigzag fashion or all jumps shown in Figure 23 (e), (f) with the section configuration that comprises optical axis OA1 shown in Figure 22 (g), (h) and Figure 23 (a)~(d) with optical axis OA1 be that the optical path difference towards beginning to replace from the way that benchmark becomes unidirectional stepped diffraction structure or the jump shown in Figure 23 (g), (h) is given structure, be formed on the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2.Figure 22 (g), (h) represent that the inclination of each sawtooth is the example that benchmark becomes unidirectional zigzag diffraction structure with optical axis OA1, Figure 23 (a) and (b) are illustrated in the example that periphery is provided with the zigzag diffraction structure of phase inversion portion, and Figure 23 (c), (d) represent that the inclination of each sawtooth is become the example of opposite zigzag diffraction structure in the outside by phase inversion portion.
More than be formed in the explanation of the phase structure on the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2, on the 2nd 2b of diffraction lens 2, also be formed with same phase structure.But, in formed phase structure on the 1st 2a and formed phase structure on the 2nd 2b, its pattern or size difference, the diffraction difference of the laser that laser of using for CD or DVD use.That is, have under the situation of the laser incident of the wavelength 780nm that CD uses diffraction light does not take place, at wavelength 405nm, remaining untouched under the situation of the laser incident of 655nm sees through it and the characteristic of diffraction effect can not take place.In addition, formed phase structure is the state of mutual dislocation with formed phase structure on the 2nd 2b on the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2.Figure 24 is the figure that the malposition of each face 2a, the 2b that constitute diffraction lens 2 is described.With respect to the whole vertical optical axis OA1 of the 1st 2a is by the 1st secondary optical axis of the central point of formed phase structure on the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2, is formed with mark M2 on the central point of this phase structure.In addition, be the 2nd secondary optical axis with respect to the whole vertical optical axis OA2 of the 2nd b of diffraction lens 2 by the central point of formed phase structure on the 2nd 2b of diffraction lens 2.Under the situation of present embodiment, these optical axises OA1, OA2 are parallel to each other, separate with predetermined distance.Its result tilts by make diffraction lens 2 on the AB direction as described later, even if the 1st 2a produces relative dislocation with the 2nd 2b on perpendicular to the direction of optical axis OA0, the result also can offset so relative dislocation to suppress the generation of coma aberration.
Manufacture method with regard to diffraction lens 2 discussed above describes simply, diffraction lens 2 is for example made by mold formed, the phase structure of the jump structure that should form on the profile corresponding to a pair of shaping die of the 1st 2a and the 2nd 2b etc. can be misplaced in advance.In addition, by so that form cavity (die cavity) with a pair of shaping die of the 2nd 2b and the corresponding state that has carried out relative dislocation of relative magnitude of misalignment of optical axis OA1, OA2, just can access as such diffraction lens 2 shown in Figure 24 waits corresponding to the 1st 2a.And then, prepare transparent plectane as the mother metal of diffraction lens 2, after applying the UV hardening resin in right amount, carry out pressing mold on its two sides, just can access the 1st 2a and the 2nd 2b.In the case, make corresponding to a pair of forging die (pressing mold) of the 1st 2a and the 2nd 2b to push the mother metal of diffraction lens 2 with the corresponding state that has carried out relative dislocation of the relative magnitude of misalignment of optical axis OA1, OA2, irradiation UV light makes the sclerosis of UV hardening resin under this state.If removing a pair of forging die just can access as the diffraction lens 2 shown in Figure 24 waits.
Turn back to Figure 21, picture frame 3 is cylindric the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion 4,5 that has the jump shape at two ends; The the 1st and the 2nd reference field 6,7 of ring-type; The 3rd reference field 11 of the diaphragm 10 of ring-type, ring-type and the 3rd fitting portion 12.The the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion the 4, the 5th has the cylinder inner face of jump respectively, and flange 1f, the 2f of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 fixed along the vertical direction of optical axis OA0 respectively.The the 1st and the 2nd reference field 6,7 is connected respectively to the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion 4,5 and forms, and for when the installation of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2, is used for flange 1f, 2f are carried out reference of reference along optical axis OA0 direction.Wherein be provided with play (gap) 8 in the 2nd fitting portion 5 upper edge optical axis vertical direction.This play 8 can be in the inching to the center is coincide with respect to object lens body 1 of diffraction lens 2.The bonding agent that is formed with the chamfering shape in the end of the 1st and the 2nd fitting portion 4,5 accumulates portion 9.Accumulate portion 9 by this bonding agent and cooperate with flange part 1f, the 2f periphery of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 and form V-shaped groove, the bonding back of two lens 1,2 or bonding in prevent that bonding agent from spilling into around.Between the 1st fitting portion 4 and the 2nd fitting portion 5 and the diaphragm 10 that is disposed at picture frame 3 inwalls carry out the cut-out of the unwanted light of object lens 50 when using or the adjustment of light quantity.The 3rd reference field 11 is that with the optical axis OA0 direction or the relevant reference for installation that tilts, the 3rd fitting portion 12 is benchmark relevant with the optical axis vertical direction when installing as the retainer of the parts of optical Pickup device etc.
In addition, in picture frame 3, the 2nd reference field 7 with diffraction lens 2 is aimed in optical axis OA0 direction tilts along the AB direction a little with respect to the 1st reference field 6 that object lens body 1 is aimed in optical axis OA0 direction.Its result, the 1st 2a and the 2nd 2b of diffraction lens 2 tilt on the AB direction a little with respect to object lens body 1.When carrying out instrumentation at the imaging characteristic to object lens 50, preventing simply lowly needs such inclination because of the back light from diffraction lens 2 makes interference image disorder or its contrast.That is, by being tilted a little, diffraction lens 2 just can prevent to incide imageing sensor of interferometer etc. from the back light (from the reflected light of diffraction pattern self or its peripheral flat site) of the 1st 2a or the 2nd 2b, the noise of back light of resulting from just is difficult to enter the instrumentation image, so just can make the instrumentation high precision int about the imaging characteristic of object lens 50.Certainly will when the optical Pickup device of such lens unit has been adopted in use, also can prevent to incide optical sensor, can also prevent influence regenerated signal etc. from the back light of diffraction lens 2.In addition, show though exaggerate in Figure 21, the inclination of diffraction lens 2 is littler usually, for example at 3 ° below the degree.If diffraction lens 2 tilts, then follow in this 1st 2a or the 2nd 2b to tilt as described above, on direction, be offset simultaneously perpendicular to optical axis OA0 with respect to optical axis OA0.Such inclination or skew, the relevant optically focused characteristic of laser of the wavelength 405nm that uses with BD that is not subjected to diffraction because of diffraction patterns such as multi-stage type diffraction structures do not brought especially to be influenced, but the relevant optically focused characteristic of each laser of the wavelength 655nm that the wavelength 780nm that uses with CD that is subjected to diffraction because of such diffraction pattern or DVD are used then brings and influences, and aberration might take place when optically focused.For this reason, in the object lens 50 of present embodiment, as among Fig. 4 also explanation once like that the optical axis OA1 of central point of the 1st 2a by diffraction lens 2 and the optical axis OA2 of the central point by the 2nd 2b are misplaced abreast.Like this, misplace, on the aligning of diffraction lens 2, apply effort simultaneously, even if the imaging precision more than also can reaching necessarily under the situation of diffraction lens 2 with respect to the optical axis OA0 inclination of object lens body 1 for object lens body 1 by deliberately making two sides 2a, 2b.
On picture frame 3, be formed with the otch 3d as azimuth mark of the AB direction of expression the 2nd reference field 7 relative the 1st reference fields 6 inclinations.In addition, on diffraction lens 2, also be formed with the otch 2d that is used to represent to make the AB direction that this diffraction lens 2 tilts as azimuth mark.By utilizing these otch 2d, 3d just can set the vergence direction of diffraction lens 2 for desirable direction, and can suitably control the influence of inclination for the optical characteristics of diffraction lens 2.
In addition, the vergence direction that shows diffraction lens 2 is not limited to otch 2d, 3d and can also adopts and comprise three-dimensional shape, painted etc. at interior various marks.In addition, can also on diffraction lens 2 or picture frame 3, replace otch 2d, 3d and paste the mark of sheet.
Below, be described with regard to the manufacturing process of the object lens in the present embodiment 50.At first, object lens body 1 is installed on picture frame 3.Making the flange surface of object lens body 1 be connected to the 1st reference field 6 injects bonding agent with bonding agent and accumulates portion 9.Thus, object lens body 1 just is fixed on assigned position.At this moment, because remaining bonding agent stays bonding agent and accumulates portion 9, so around just can preventing that bonding agent from spilling in bonding or after bonding.
Then, at the opposite side relative diffraction lens 2 is installed with the object lens body installed 1 on the picture frame 3.Under the state of the orientation unanimity that makes otch 2d, 3d, make the flange surface of diffraction lens 2 be connected to the 2nd reference field 7 and carry out location with object lens body 1.At this moment, it is also bigger slightly than the profile of diffraction lens 2 that the 2nd fitting portion 5 is designed to its internal diameter, and this difference just becomes play 8.Thus, diffraction lens 2 is movable on the optical axis vertical direction, carries out relative location while just can observe opposed object lens body 1 on the optical axis vertical direction.
Behind the location of having carried out diffraction lens 2, bonding agent is injected bonding agent accumulate portion 9.Thus, diffraction lens 2 is just to be fixed through the state of aiming at.At this moment, because remaining bonding agent stays bonding agent and accumulates portion 9, so around just can preventing that bonding agent from spilling in bonding or after bonding.In addition, diaphragm 10 prevents that in addition bonding agent from entering the effect of drip when picture frame 3 inside.
Make object lens 50 by above processing.As described above, object lens 50 is also further to have used three parts of picture frame 3 to constitute except that object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2.Thus, just can carry out the relative positioning on the optical axis vertical direction of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2 in advance accurately.
In addition, in this explanation, be to establish object lens body 1 formerly about the order of installing, diffraction lens 2 after.This is to observe convenience in such design in order to be easy to the diffraction lens less from focal power 2 one sides when the location.But, for example object lens body 1 is being set as under the situation about positioning behind, it is also harmless to change the order of installing.Under the situation that changes erection sequence, play is set in the 1st fitting portion 4 sides.In addition, as other fixing means, for example, can also two lens 1,2 be fixed with respect to picture frame 3 by laser bonding.In addition, not only can also play all be arranged the both sides of diffraction lens 2 and object lens body 1 in diffraction lens 2 sides.
Figure 25 and Figure 26 conceptually illustrate the expanded view of diffraction lens 2 for the state before and after the aligning of object lens body 1.As shown in figure 25, under the state before aligning, diffraction lens 2 is forced in the AB direction, establish diffraction lens 2 the 1st 2a intrinsic optical axis OA1 be fulcrum with rotation center RC as the intersection point of the 2nd 2b and optical axis OA1, with respect to the optical axis OA0 tilt angle theta of object lens body 1.In the case, even if tilt also not make the imaging characteristic deterioration of object lens 50 for diffraction lens 2, wish such as shown in figure 26, for example from the laser LL of the optical axis OA0 incident abreast of light source side and object lens body 1 mark M2 by the heart (intersection point of the optical axis OA1 of the 1st 2a and the 1st 2a) among the 1st 2a that is equivalent to diffraction lens 2, central point C2 (intersection point of the optical axis OA2 of the 2nd 2b and the 2nd 2b) by the 2nd 2b, and then, by being equivalent to the mark M1 of the heart among the object lens body 1, and advancing along optical axis OA1 and to aim at like this.Like this, by utilizing mark M1, M2 on optical axis OA0 direction, to make the central point of object lens body 1 consistent, then no matter how the value of the tiltangle of diffraction lens 2 can both lower the coma aberration that takes place as object lens 50 at least with the central point of each face 2a, 2b of diffraction lens 2.
As shown in figure 25, under the state before aligning, the position of two mark M1, M2 is offset by distance X on the vertical direction of primary optical axis OA0.This distance X is that d, pitch angle are to utilize following formula X=d (sin θ-sin (θ/n)) after the refractive index of θ and diffraction lens 2 is n at the thickness of establishing diffraction lens 2 ... (1) provide.Before aligning owing to resulting from this offset X the relevant coma aberration of wavelength 655nm used with DVD takes place, so need make the mark M1 of object lens body 1 by aligning, as described later with respect to mark M2 respective offsets distance X on the optical axis vertical direction of diffraction lens 2, come substantially to suppress the generation of the relevant coma aberration of the wavelength 655nm that uses with DVD thus.Such aligning can be realized fairly simplely, particularly, on optical axis OA0, observe the object lens body 1 that is installed on picture frame 3 on one side and dispose diffraction lens 2 in the front of object lens body 1 side on one side, the consistent diffraction lens 2 that makes like this of two mark M1, M2 is moved in the 2nd fitting portion 5 of picture frame 3 from the drawing left side.Thus, all states are as shown in figure 26 just realized, finish aiming at of object lens body 1 and diffraction lens 2.In addition, because the optical axis OA0 direction of object lens body 1 can determine by means of various measuring devices fairly simplely, so wait viewing objective body 1 and diffraction lens 2 by means of microscope from such optical axis OA0 direction that determines.When observing, aim at like this as long as two mark M1, M2 are consistent in picture.
As described above with the mark M1 of object lens body 1 with respect to the mark M2 of diffraction lens 2 under the enterprising line position of optical axis vertical direction involutes situation into the state of Figure 26, not only can suppress the generation of the relevant coma aberration of the wavelength 655nm that uses with DVD, can also the generation of the relevant coma aberration of the wavelength 780nm that uses with CD substantially be suppressed.Specifically describe, then the mark M2 as the central point of the 1st 2a is optically aimed at the central point C2 of the 2nd 2b by dislocation at optical axis OA1, the OA2 of the illustrated such diffraction lens 2 of Figure 24.That is, prolong at the center that the optical axis OA0 by object lens body 1 extends and not only can dispose the 2nd 2 the central point C2 that can also dispose diffraction lens 2 as the mark M2 of the central point of the 1st 2a of diffraction lens 2 on the light path.In order to realize this aligning, the 1st 2a1 and the 2nd 2b of diffraction lens 2 have dislocation in advance on the AB direction.Such magnitude of misalignment offsets the influence of the inclination of diffraction lens 2, and with appended in above-mentioned formula (1) and offset X consistent.That is, the optics dislocation of the optical axis OA0 direction that takes place because of the inclination of diffraction lens 2 is consistent with offset X, adopt the central point of each face 2a, the 2b that make diffraction lens 2 on the AB direction, to carry out the structure of inverse offset for such offset X is offseted, just can realize thus with respect to object lens body the 1, the 1st and the 2nd aligning that 2a, 2b are the optical axis vertical direction of diffraction lens 2.Thus, just the imaging characteristic of object lens 50 can be made as less high-precision such as coma aberration.
Figure 27 represents to be used for the interferometer of the optical characteristics (particularly being corrugated aberration etc.) of instrumentation object lens shown in Figure 21 50.This interferometer is made up of the interferometer of Tai Man-Green (Twyman-Green) formula, has light supply apparatus 62 as optical system, collimator lens 63, beam splitter (beam splitter) 64, checked object platform 65, reference plane catoptron 66, imaging lens system 67 and ccd sensor 68.In addition, this interferometer has laser driver 71,72,73 as driving control system, platform drive unit 74, and scanning mirror circuit 75, the computing machine 77 of their action is controlled on image processing apparatus 76 and the ground of being all together.
The built-in bandpass filter of beam splitter 62e, make inspection light transmission from the 1st semiconductor laser 62a, and the inspection light from the 2nd semiconductor laser 72b is reflected, will import same light path from the different inspection light of the wavelength of two halves conductor laser 62a, 62b thus.In addition, beam splitter 62f Nei Zhi KURA bandpass filter, make inspection light transmission, and make inspection light reflection, will import same light path from the different inspection light of the wavelength of all- semiconductor laser instrument 62a, 62b, 62c thus from the 3rd semiconductor laser 62c through beam splitter 62e.
Checked object can drive by means of not shown man-operated mechanism or platform drive unit 74 with platform 65, and the object lens 50 as checked object is moved to remain in correct position three-dimensionally.In addition, be object lens 50 as shown like that and its imaging characteristic carried out under the situation of instrumentation at checked object, reflect the tested light of process object lens 50 with reference to concave mirror 81 in the configuration of the rear of object lens 50, after object lens 50 becomes the almost parallel light beam, turn back to beam splitter 64 once more, it is interfered with reference to light.In addition, object lens 50b is designed to carry out optically focused via the parallel plane substrate of regulation, so dispose cover plate 82 between reference concave mirror 81 and object lens 50.
In addition, in case be projected on the ccd sensor 68 as interference fringe by the synthetic light behind imaging lens system 67 optically focused.The pattern of this interference fringe is output to image processing apparatus 76 as electric signal.This electric signal is as being output to computing machine 77 with the corresponding picture signal of the interference figure that is projected to ccd sensor 68.
Below, describe with regard to the action of interference measuring device shown in Figure 27.At first, will be placed on checked object as the object lens 50 of checked object with on the platform 65.Secondly, for example make 71 actions of the 1st laser driver so that CD uses laser as checking that light is from the 1st semiconductor laser 62a outgoing.Then, control signal is outputed to scanning mirror circuit 75 so that piezoelectric element 91 changes from computing machine 77.Thus, can make reference plane catoptron 66 carry out the scanning that phase place is sent to, just can carry out high-precision corrugated instrumentation with wavelength for CD.Then, make 72 actions of the 2nd laser driver so that DVD uses laser as checking that light is from the 2nd semiconductor laser 62b outgoing.Below same, come instrumentation to change with the relevant corrugateds of wavelength with DVD by reference plane catoptron 66 being carried out scanning that phase place sends to because of object lens 50 is that cause.Then, make 73 actions of the 3rd laser driver so that BD uses laser as checking that light is from the 3rd semiconductor laser 62c outgoing.Below same, come instrumentation to change with the relevant corrugateds of wavelength with BD by reference plane catoptron 66 being carried out scanning that phase place sends to because of object lens 50 is that cause.
By means of interference measuring device discussed above, just can to object lens 50 with CD with wavelength, DVD with wavelength and BD with the relevant corrugated aberration of wavelength, be that optical characteristics is measured.At this moment, owing to be the state that makes diffraction lens 2 and tilt with small angle with respect to the optical axis of the object lens body 1 that constitutes object lens 50, so can prevent to incide ccd sensor 68 through beam splitter 64 or imaging lens system 67 from the back light of diffraction lens 2.That is, since result from the noise of back light be difficult to enter with ccd sensor 68 scoop up the interference figure of shadow, so can make the corrugated instrumentation high precision int of object lens 50.
In addition, in object lens 50 as the present embodiment, moving diffraction lens 2 under the situation of 3 μ m along the optical axis vertical direction, promptly, optical axis OA1, the OA2 of diffraction lens 2 with under the parallel situation of carrying out skew of 3 μ m, is that benchmark make it 5m λ RMS degree or coma aberration it more than take place with the wavelength X with respect to optical axis OA0.In order to suppress such coma aberration as far as possible, not only needing to make be aligned in high precision int below several microns but also the needs of diffraction lens 2, will to result from diffraction lens 2 be that the pitch angle of optical axis OA1, OA2 and the 1st 2a taking place and the coma aberration of the 2nd 2b reduce simultaneously.Particularly, wish to be suppressed to the coma aberration of 5~50m λ RMS.In the present embodiment, optical axis OA1, the OA2 of two sides 2a, 2b is made as optical axis independently, just the coma aberration of the 1st 2a and the 2nd 2b all can be minimized by their interval adjustment result.Its result just can suppress the generation of coma aberration effectively, and can make the object lens 50 that satisfies desired specification expeditiously on the imaging characteristic of object lens 50.
