Abstract

The present invention is related to a chromatic aberration-correcting element which allows the adoption of BDs even when DVD/CD light beams are incident. The chromatic aberration-correcting element has a diffractive structure formed thereon, which can correct chromatic aberration in BD wavelength light beams in addition to adopting DVD/CD wavelength light beams. Also provided is an optical pickup device whose structure is simplified by employing the chromatic aberration-correcting element.
