Abstract

An objective lens causes birefringence, which causes wave aberration in outgoing light from the objective lens. A coated objective lens has a dielectric multilayer film that can reduce astigmatism component of the wave aberration to 5 mλ rms or smaller when 10 mλ rms or larger astigmatism component of wave aberration is generated.
