Abstract

An optical system of an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus including a light source for emitting a generally parallel luminous flux; an objective optical system for converging the luminous flux emitted from the light source onto a medium; a beam splitter for splitting the luminous flux reflected by the medium from a light path directed to the light source and guiding the same to a light receiving system; a chromatic aberration correcting element having almost no power disposed between the objective lens and the beam splitter and adapted to correct a chromatic aberration of the objective lens; and means for independently actuating the objective lens at least in an optical axis direction thereof.
