Patent ID: 8154980

Claim:
An objective lens driving apparatus comprising: a first objective lens and a second objective lens for collecting a light flux emitted from a light source on an information recording medium, and a lens holder holding the first and second objective lenses, wherein the lens holder comprises a first bonding portion and a second bonding portion for holding the second objective lens by means of bonding, and a hole portion through which an adjusting member for adjusting an inclination of an optical axis of the second objective lens can be inserted from a side opposite to the information recording medium side, and wherein the second objective lens is fixed to the lens holder by applying a first bonding adhesive to the first bonding portion to thereby bond the second objective lens thereto, adjusting the inclination of the optical axis of the second objective lens with reference to an optical axis of the first objective lens using the adjusting member while causing the first bonding adhesive to deform, and applying a second bonding adhesive to the second bonding portion, the second bonding adhesive having a larger Young's modulus after curing than the first bonding adhesive.
