Abstract
An optical head device is provided with a semiconductor laser, an aberration correcting element for transmitting a beam from the semiconductor laser, a light guiding portion for introducing the beam from the semiconductor laser to the aberration correcting element, and an objective lens for focusing the beam having passed through the aberration correcting element on an optical disc. The aberration correcting element corrects a longitudinal chromatic aberration occurring in the objective lens and a longitudinal chromatic aberration occurring in the light guiding portion excluding the objective lens and the aberration correcting element based on a longitudinal chromatic aberration occurring in the aberration correcting element when the semiconductor laser emits a beam having a wavelength different by a specified wavelength difference.Therefore, an optical head device, an aberration correction method and an optical information processing apparatus can be provided which can suppress a longitudinal chromatic aberration occurring in the entire optical system from a light source to an objective lens.
