Description

本発明は、特に開口数NAの高い対物レンズを用いて光記録再生を行う光記録媒体に用いて好適な対物レンズとこれを用いた光学ピックアップ装置、光記録再生装置及び収差補正方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an objective lens suitable for use in an optical recording medium that performs optical recording / reproducing using an objective lens having a particularly high numerical aperture NA, an optical pickup apparatus using the same, an optical recording / reproducing apparatus, and an aberration correction method.

近年、光記録媒体において、記録密度が異なる種々のタイプの光記録媒体が開発されており、例えばディスク状の光記録媒体では、例えばレーザ光の使用波長が780nm付近であるCD(Compact Disc、登録商標)、使用波長が660nm付近であるDVD(Digital Versatile Disc、登録商標)、使用波長が405nm付近であるBD(Blu-ray Disc、登録商標)、同様に使用波長が405nm付近であるHD DVD(High Definition DVD、登録商標)、AOD(Advanced Optical Disk、登録商標)等が挙げられる。以下、BD(登録商標)型の光記録媒体を第1の光記録媒体とし、同様に、DVD(登録商標)型、CD(登録商標)型、HD DVD(登録商標)型の光記録媒体をそれぞれ第2、第3、第4の光記録媒体と記す。   In recent years, various types of optical recording media having different recording densities have been developed as optical recording media. For example, in a disk-shaped optical recording medium, for example, a CD (Compact Disc, registration) in which the wavelength of laser light used is around 780 nm. Trademark), DVD (Digital Versatile Disc, registered trademark) with a used wavelength of around 660 nm, BD (Blu-ray Disc, registered trademark) with a used wavelength of around 405 nm, and HD DVD with a used wavelength of around 405 nm ( High Definition DVD, registered trademark), AOD (Advanced Optical Disk, registered trademark) and the like. Hereinafter, a BD (registered trademark) type optical recording medium is used as a first optical recording medium, and similarly, a DVD (registered trademark) type, a CD (registered trademark) type, and an HD DVD (registered trademark) type optical recording medium are used. These are referred to as second, third, and fourth optical recording media, respectively.

これらの光記録媒体においてはその構造がそれぞれ異なり、光を照射する側のカバー部、すなわち基板やカバー層の厚さが異なる。
特に、上述の第1の光記録媒体、第4の光記録媒体等のように対物レンズの開口数NAが高く設定される場合、カバー層の厚さ変動に対する球面収差感度が高いうえに高次収差が発生する。球面収差があると、情報記録層での光スポットの集光特性が悪くなり、情報の記録再生特性が劣化してしまう。
These optical recording media have different structures, and the thickness of the cover portion on the light irradiation side, that is, the substrate and the cover layer, is different.
In particular, when the numerical aperture NA of the objective lens is set high as in the first optical recording medium and the fourth optical recording medium described above, the spherical aberration sensitivity to the cover layer thickness variation is high and the higher order. Aberration occurs. When there is spherical aberration, the light spot condensing characteristic on the information recording layer is deteriorated, and the information recording / reproducing characteristic is deteriorated.

このため、球面収差を補正する機構が導入されている。
例えば、ビームエキスパンダーレンズやコリメータレンズを光軸方向に駆動して対物レンズに入射するビームの発散角を変化させて球面収差を発生させて、この球面収差がカバー層の厚み誤差による球面収差と逆の極性になるようにレンズ駆動位置を調整して、収差をいわばキャンセルする方法が提案されている(例えば特許文献1参照)
For this reason, a mechanism for correcting spherical aberration has been introduced.
For example, by driving the beam expander lens or the collimator lens in the optical axis direction to change the divergence angle of the beam entering the objective lens by generating a spherical aberration, spherical aberration the spherical aberration due to the thickness error of the cover layer and reverse by adjusting the lens driving position so that the polarity, a method of it were canceling aberration has been proposed (e.g. Patent Document 1 see).

この方法は、実効的に対物レンズに入射する光の発光点距離を調整していることと等価であり、対物レンズの倍率収差を利用してカバー層厚み誤差の収差をキャンセルするものである。
例えば第1の光記録媒体において、記録層が単層のディスク規格では、カバー層の厚み誤差が±5μmであり、高次の球面収差量は少なかったため、主に3次の球面収差を補正できれば問題とはならなかった。
特開2000−131603号公報
This method is equivalent to effectively adjusting the light emitting point distance of light incident on the objective lens, and cancels the aberration of the cover layer thickness error using the magnification aberration of the objective lens.
For example, in the first optical recording medium, in the disc standard with a single recording layer, the thickness error of the cover layer is ± 5 μm and the amount of high-order spherical aberration is small. Therefore, if the third-order spherical aberration can be corrected mainly. It didn't matter.
JP 2000-131603 A

しかしながら、近年、第1の光記録媒体において記録層を2層とする多層記録構成が提案されており、この場合は2層の記録層の間の中間層は、その厚さが25μm程度とされ、各層に±5μmのカバー層厚み誤差が認められているため、補正すべき球面収差量が非常に大きくなり、低次のみではなく高次の球面収差を補正する必要も生じてきた。 高次の収差については、5次の収差が支配的であることから、3次と5次の球面収差を同時に補正することで高次を含む球面収差を十分に低減することができ、記録再生特性への影響を回避できると考えられる。   However, in recent years, a multilayer recording configuration in which two recording layers are used in the first optical recording medium has been proposed. In this case, the intermediate layer between the two recording layers has a thickness of about 25 μm. Since the thickness error of the cover layer of ± 5 μm is recognized in each layer, the amount of spherical aberration to be corrected becomes very large, and it has become necessary to correct not only low order but also high order spherical aberration. As for higher order aberrations, fifth order aberrations are dominant, and by correcting third order and fifth order spherical aberrations at the same time, spherical aberrations including higher orders can be sufficiently reduced, and recording and reproduction are performed. It is thought that the influence on the characteristics can be avoided.

このような問題に鑑みて、本発明は、カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違で生じる球面収差の3次と5次の成分を同時に補正して、球面収差補正を良好に行うことの可能な対物レンズとこれを用いた光学ピックアップ装置、光記録再生装置及び収差補正方法を提供することを目的とする。 In view of such a problem, the present invention corrects the third-order and fifth-order components of the spherical aberration caused by the difference in the cover layer thickness (including the thickness error) at the same time, and performs the spherical aberration correction well. It is an object of the present invention to provide an objective lens that can be used, an optical pickup apparatus using the same, an optical recording / reproducing apparatus, and an aberration correction method.

Examples of the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
First, an example of an optical recording / reproducing apparatus and an optical pickup apparatus suitable for application to the present invention will be described with reference to the schematic configuration diagrams of FIGS.

And is condensed on the recording surface of the optical recording medium 10. Then, the laser light reflected from the optical recording medium 10 is incident on the quarter-wave plate 48 through the objective lens 3 to change the polarization direction again, is reflected by the rising mirror 47, and passes through the collimator lens 46. After that, as described above, the light is reflected by the split surface 45a of the polarization beam splitter 45, is incident on a predetermined position of the light receiving element 51 through the optical axis combining element 50, and a signal is detected.

ここで、例えば図4において、カバー層の厚みに−20μmの相違が生じているとすると、3次の収差SA3(C)は略0.2であることから、倍率収差として−0.2の収差補正量が必要である。このとき、カバー層の厚みに対する5次の収差SA5(C)と、5次の倍率収差SA5(L)との和の絶対値が大きいほど、5次の球面収差補正が十分でないこととなる。 Here, for example, in FIG. 4, if there is a difference of −20 μm in the thickness of the cover layer, the third-order aberration SA3 (C) is approximately 0.2, so that the magnification aberration is −0.2. An aberration correction amount is required. At this time, the larger the absolute value of the sum of the fifth-order aberration SA5 (C) and the fifth-order magnification aberration SA5 (L) with respect to the thickness of the cover layer, the less the fifth-order spherical aberration correction is.

例えば前述の第1の光記録媒体において2層構成とする場合、各層のカバー層の厚さは75μm以上100μm以下とされ、それぞれ±5μmの厚み誤差に設計される。したがって、カバー層の厚みとしてとりうる範囲は70〜105μmとなり、この場合、±17.5〜±20μmのカバー層の厚さの差を補正することが要求される。 For example, when the above-described first optical recording medium has a two-layer structure, the thickness of the cover layer of each layer is set to 75 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and each is designed with a thickness error of ± 5 μm. Therefore, the possible range of the cover layer thickness is 70 to 105 μm. In this case, it is required to correct the difference in the cover layer thickness of ± 17.5 to ± 20 μm.

ここで良好に収差補正を行う範囲として、本発明においては、対物レンズの倍率収差で生じる5次及び3次の球面収差の比を、以下の式(1)の範囲に選定する。すなわち、
0.1<(SA5(L)/SA3(L))/(SA5(C)/SA3(C))<1.9・・・(1)
として対物レンズを構成する。
また更に良好に収差を補正するために、本発明においては、以下の式(2)の範囲に選定する。すなわち、
0.65<(SA5(L)/SA3(L))/(SA5(C)/SA3(C))<1.35・・(2)
として対物レンズを構成する。
In the present invention, the ratio of the fifth-order and third-order spherical aberration caused by the magnification aberration of the objective lens is selected as the range of the following formula (1) as a range for satisfactorily correcting aberrations. That is,
0.1 <(SA5 (L) / SA3 (L)) / (SA5 (C) / SA3 (C)) <1.9 (1)
The objective lens is configured as follows.
In order to correct aberrations more satisfactorily, in the present invention, the range of the following formula (2) is selected. That is,
0.65 <(SA5 (L) / SA3 (L)) / (SA5 (C) / SA3 (C)) <1.35 (2)
The objective lens is configured as follows.

これら式(1)又は式(2)に示す範囲に選定することによって、以下に説明するように、良好にカバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違による収差を補正することができた。
先ず、3次の球面収差を完全に補正した場合に、5次の球面収差の取れ残りをある程度以内とする範囲について検討した。例えば、±0.035λrms以内、すなわちMarechal基準(0.07λrms)の半値以内に抑える条件は、
−0.035<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.035 ・・・(3)
となる。3次の球面収差を完全に補正するということは、
SA3(L)=SA3(C) ・・・(4)
とすることとなる。式(1)に式(4)を代入すると、
0.1<−SA5(L)/SA5(C)<1.9 ・・・(5)
となる。
By selecting the range shown in the formula (1) or formula (2), the aberration due to the difference in the thickness of the cover layer (including the thickness error) could be corrected as described below. .
First, when the third-order spherical aberration was completely corrected, the range in which the remaining fifth-order spherical aberration was within a certain range was examined. For example, the condition to suppress within ± 0.035λrms, that is, within half the Marechal standard (0.07λrms) is:
-0.035 <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.035 (3)
It becomes. To completely correct third-order spherical aberration,
- SA3 (L) = SA3 ( C) ··· (4)
Will be. Substituting equation (4) into equation (1),
0.1 <-SA5 (L) / SA5 (C) <1.9 (5)
It becomes.

カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違をM[mm]とすると、図4に示すカバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違と球面収差との関係より、5次の球面収差SA5(C)は、
SA5(C)≒−1.9M・・・(6)
である。
したがって、式(5)及び(6)より、
0.1<SA5(L)/(1.9M)<1.9・・・(7)
となり、M>0のとき、
0.19M<SA5(L)<3.61M・・・(8)
となって、式(6)及び(8)より、
−1.71M<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<1.71M・・・(9)
が与えられる。
If the difference in the cover layer thickness (including the thickness error) is M [mm], the fifth-order spherical surface is obtained from the relationship between the difference in the cover layer thickness (including the thickness error) shown in FIG. Aberration SA5 (C) is
SA5 (C) ≈-1.9M (6)
It is.
Therefore, from the equations (5) and (6),
0.1 <SA5 (L) / (1.9M) <1.9 (7)
When M> 0,
0.19M <SA5 (L) <3.61M (8)
From equations (6) and (8),
-1.71M <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <1.71M (9)
Is given.

一方、M<0のとき、
3.61M<SA5(L)<0.19M・・・(10)
となり、式(6)及び(10)より、
1.71M<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<−1.71M・・・(11)
となる。
On the other hand, when M <0,
3.61M <SA5 (L) <0.19M (10)
From equations (6) and (10),
1.71M <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <− 1.71M (11)
It becomes.

上述したように、カバー層の厚み誤差を含む厚さの相違の範囲は±20μm程度とすると、M=0.02[mm]のとき、式(9)より、
−0.0342<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.0342
となり、上記式(3)の条件を満足することがわかる。また、M=−0.02[mm]のときは、上記式(11)より、
−0.0342<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.0342
となって、同様に上記式(3)の条件を満足することがわかる。
上記式(9)及び(11)に規定される範囲を図6において、実線g及び破線hの間の領域A及びBとしてそれぞれ示す。
以上説明したように、対物レンズの倍率収差で生じる3次及び5次の球面収差の比SA5(L)/SA3(L)を、上記式(1)の範囲に選定することによって、上記式(3)の条件を満たし、十分球面収差補正を行うことができることがわかる。
As described above, when the range of thickness difference including the thickness error of the cover layer is about ± 20 μm, when M = 0.02 [mm],
−0.0342 <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.0342
Thus, it is understood that the condition of the above formula (3) is satisfied. Further, when M = −0.02 [mm], from the above equation (11),
−0.0342 <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.0342
Thus, it is understood that the condition of the above formula (3) is satisfied similarly.
The ranges defined by the above equations (9) and (11) are shown as regions A and B between the solid line g and the broken line h in FIG.
As described above, by selecting the ratio SA5 (L) / SA3 (L) of the third-order and fifth-order spherical aberration caused by the magnification aberration of the objective lens within the range of the above formula (1), the above formula ( It can be seen that the spherical aberration correction can be sufficiently performed while satisfying the condition of 3).

また、対物レンズの倍率収差で生じる3次及び5次の球面収差の比SA5(L)/SA3(L)を、上記式(2)の範囲に選定することによって、より好ましく球面収差を補正することができる。以下これを説明する。
上述の例においては、3次の球面収差を完全に補正した場合に、5次の球面収差の取れ残りをMarechal基準の半値以内としたが、更に好適な補正条件として、±0.015λrmsの範囲とする場合を考える。この場合の条件は、
−0.015<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.015・・・(12)
となる。3次の球面収差を完全に補正するということは、
SA3(L)=SA3(C) ・・・(13)
とすることとなる。式(2)に式(13)を代入すると、
0.65<−SA5(L)/SA5(C)<1.35・・・(14)
となる。
Further, the spherical aberration is more preferably corrected by selecting the ratio SA5 (L) / SA3 (L) of the third-order and fifth-order spherical aberration caused by the magnification aberration of the objective lens within the range of the above formula (2). be able to. This will be described below.
In the above example, when the third-order spherical aberration is completely corrected, the remainder of the fifth-order spherical aberration is set within the half value of the Marechal standard. As a more preferable correction condition, a range of ± 0.015 λrms is used. Consider the case. The condition in this case is
−0.015 <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.015 (12)
It becomes. To completely correct third-order spherical aberration,
SA3 (L) = SA3 (C) (13)
Will be. Substituting equation (13) into equation (2),
0.65 <-SA5 (L) / SA5 (C) <1.35 (14)
It becomes.

カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違をM[mm]とすると、図4に示すカバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違と球面収差の関係より、5次の球面収差SA5(C)は、
SA5(C)≒−1.9M・・・(15)
である。
したがって、式(14)及び(15)より、
0.65<SA5(L)/(1.9M)<1.35・・・(16)
となり、M>0のとき、
1.235M<SA5(L)<2.565M・・・(17)
となって、式(15)及び(17)より、
−0.665M<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.665M・・・(18)
が与えられる。
If the difference in the cover layer thickness (including the thickness error) is M [mm], the fifth order spherical aberration is obtained from the relationship between the difference in the cover layer thickness (including the thickness error) and the spherical aberration shown in FIG. SA5 (C)
SA5 (C) ≈-1.9M (15)
It is.
Therefore, from the equations (14) and (15),
0.65 <SA5 (L) / (1.9M) <1.35 (16)
When M> 0,
1.235M <SA5 (L) <2.565M (17)
From the equations (15) and (17),
-0.665M <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.665M (18)
Is given.

一方、M<0のとき、
2.565M<SA5(L)<1.235M・・・(19)
となり、式(15)及び(19)より、
0.665M<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<−0.665M・・・(20)
となる。
On the other hand, when M <0,
2.565M <SA5 (L) <1.235M (19)
From equations (15) and (19),
0.665M <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <− 0.665M (20)
It becomes.

上述したように、カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違の範囲は±20μm程度とすると、M=0.02[mm]のとき、式(18)より、
−0.0133<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.0133
となり、上記式(12)の条件を満足することがわかる。また、M=−0.02[mm]のときは、上記式(20)より、
−0.0133<SA5(L)+SA5(C)<0.0133
となって、同様に上記式(12)の条件を満足することがわかる。
上記式(18)及び(20)に規定される範囲を図7において、実線k及び破線mの間の領域C及びDとしてそれぞれ示す。
このように、対物レンズの倍率収差で生じる3次及び5次の球面収差の比SA5(L)/SA3(L)を、上記式(2)の範囲に選定することによって、上記式(12)の条件を満たし、十分球面収差補正を行うことができることがわかる。
As described above, when the range of the difference in thickness of the cover layer (including thickness error) is about ± 20 μm, when M = 0.02 [mm],
−0.0133 <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.0133
Thus, it is understood that the condition of the above formula (12) is satisfied. Further, when M = −0.02 [mm], from the above equation (20),
−0.0133 <SA5 (L) + SA5 (C) <0.0133
Thus, it can be seen that the condition of the above formula (12) is satisfied similarly.
The ranges defined by the above equations (18) and (20) are shown as regions C and D between the solid line k and the broken line m in FIG.
Thus, by selecting the ratio SA5 (L) / SA3 (L) of the third-order and fifth-order spherical aberration caused by the magnification aberration of the objective lens within the range of the above formula (2), the above formula (12). It can be seen that the spherical aberration can be sufficiently corrected by satisfying the above condition.

なお、上述したように、上記式(2)の条件によって、カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違±0.02[mm]の範囲において球面収差を十分良好に、すなわち0.015λrms以下に補正することができるが、この式(2)の条件式を用いれば、カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違が±0.05[mm]以内の場合に、球面収差を0.035λrms以下とすることができる。すなわち、上記式(2)の範囲に選定する場合には、カバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違±0.05[mm]以内において良好な収差補正特性が得られる。 As described above, the spherical aberration is satisfactorily satisfactory in the range of the difference ± 0.02 [mm] in the thickness of the cover layer (including the thickness error) depending on the condition of the above formula (2), that is, 0.015 λrms. Although the following correction can be made, if the conditional expression (2) is used, the spherical aberration is reduced when the difference in the thickness of the cover layer (including the thickness error) is within ± 0.05 [mm]. It can be set to 0.035λrms or less. That is, when selecting the range of the above formula (2), good aberration correction characteristics can be obtained within a difference of ± 0.05 [mm] in the thickness (including thickness error) of the cover layer.

以上説明したように、本発明による対物レンズ、これを用いた光学ピックアップ装置、光記録再生装置及び収差補正方法によれば、対物レンズの倍率収差で生じる3次及び5次球面収差の比を適切な範囲に選定することによって、確実にカバー層の厚さ(厚み誤差を含む)の相違によって生じる球面収差を補正することができる。
なお、本発明は、上述の例に限定されるものではなく、例えば対物レンズを2群レンズとすることなく、1枚の対物レンズで本発明構成を実現することが可能である。また、その他光学ピックアップ装置、光記録再生装置において、例えば第2の光記録媒体、第3の光記録媒体等との互換性を有する構成とすることもできるなど、本発明構成を逸脱しない
