A convergent optical system is composed of a singlet objective lens with a NA of 0.75 or more and includes an aberration-correcting optical system which corrects coma aberrations due to an inclination or shift of central axes of both surfaces of the objective lens or an inclination of the objective lens or the optical storage medium to an optical axis of the optical pickup.

By an operation of only irradiating a first lens with parallel light which has an intensity distribution corresponding to the shape of a second lens and irradiating an ultraviolet curing resin layer with transmission light, the first and second lenses are placed with a high alignment accuracy in a mutual positional relation thereof. By irradiating the first lens with the parallel light, it becomes possible to uniformly expose a broad area, and it becomes possible to expose by the wafer.

Abstract: An optical pickup device which includes (A) a light source, and (B) an objective lens and an aberration correcting optical system which are located in a light path from the light source to an optical recording medium is so arranged that the aberration correcting optical system imparts a phase distribution to luminous flux which transmits the aberration correcting optical system, so as to correct a predetermined aberration; and an amount of phase of the aberration correcting optical system when correcting the aberration is set in such a manner that the aberration correcting optical system imparts a larger amount of phase at a position farther from a point where the aberration correcting optical system crosses an optical axis of light emitted from the light source. With this, it is possible to increase a tolerance for the center misalignment of the objective lens so as to reduce aberration caused by the center misalignment.

Abstract: An exposing apparatus for a microlens array allows for easy alignment and attains high accuracy. An exposing method for a microlens array attains high accuracy and high light efficiency. The exposing apparatus for a microlens array includes a micro fly-eye lens for converting a light beam from a light source into a secondary point light source, a transmittance distribution mask for adjusting the luminance of the light of the secondary point light source, and a collimator lens for converting the light of adjusted luminance into a parallel light beam and for guiding the parallel light beam, via a first microlens array which is formed in advance, to a photosensitive resin layer to be a second microlens array. The light emitted from the light source is transmitted through the micro fly-eye lens, the transmittance distribution mask, and the collimator lens. The light is then adjusted to a desired luminance to expose the photosensitive resin of a microlens substrate.
