Abstract

In an optical head device, the distance between a light source, such as a semiconductor laser, and a condensing lens is altered along the optical axis thereof, so that the resulting spherical aberration may offset any component of spherical aberration that exists in an optical system as an inherent defect, whereby the wave-front aberration of the beam concentrated through the condensing lens is reduced. The device, therefore, includes an optical condensing system of improved aberration and condensation property.
