Patent ID: 6845078

Claim:
An optical pickup apparatus comprising: a first light source for emitting a first laser beam having a first wavelength; a second light source for emitting a second laser beam having a second wavelength; and an objective lens for condensing the first laser beam and the second laser beam, wherein the first light source and the second light source are disposed in positions in such a way that a total amount of coma aberration, which is generated on the first laser beam in accordance with a distance between the first light source and an optical axis of a whole optical system and coma aberration, which is generated on the first laser beam in accordance with a tilting amount of the objective lens becomes null, and a total amount of coma aberration, which is generated on the second laser beam in accordance with a distance between the second light source and said optical axis and coma aberration, which is generated on the second laser beam in accordance with the tilting amount of the objective lens becomes null.
