Abstract

An objective lens for a pickup optical system for optically reading out information recorded in a recording medium , includes a first lens body and a second lens body integrally attached to a surface of the first lens body and having a micro Fresnel portion for focusing light to a predetermined position of the recording medium. When the objective lens is used for a pickup optical system, the micro Fresnel portion faces away from an accommodation region for accommodating the recording medium to prevent dust from attaching to the micro Fresnel portion.
