Claims
- 1. A system having a wave front aberration correcting means comprising:
- a light source for emitting a divergent light beam having an astigmatism;
- a collimator lens for making the light beam from said light source parallel;
- an anamorphic optical system for modifying a cross-section shape of said light beam;
- an objective lens for imaging the light beam onto a surface of an object; and
- means for adjusting a distance between said light source and said collimator lens in order to correct said astigmatism of the light beam.
- 2. An optical system having a wave front aberration correcting means according to claim 1, wherein said light source is a semiconductor laser.
- 3. The system having a wave front aberration correcting means according to claim 1, said adjusting means comprising means for adjusting a position of said collimator lens with respect to said light source.
- 4. The system having a wave front aberration correcting means according to claim 1, said adjusting means comprising means for adjusting a distance between said light source and said collimator lens so that astigmatism generated by said objective lens is offset by astigmatism of said light beam emerging from said anamorphic optical system.
- 5. The system having a wave front aberration correcting means according to claim 1, said adjusting means comprising a mounting structure for adjustably mounting said light source and said collimator lens.
- 6. The system having a wave front aberration correcting means according to claim 5, said mounting structure comprising means for receiving an end portion of an adjusting tool for adjusting a distance between said light source and said collimator lens.
- 7. An optical system with of optical information recording/reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a light source for emitting a divergent light beam having an astigmatism;
- a collimator lens for making the light beam emitted from said light source parallel;
- an anamorphic optical system for modifying a cross-section shape of said light beam;
- an objective lens for imaging the light beam onto a surface of an object; and
- means for adjusting a distance between said light source and said collimator lens in order to correct said astigmatism of the light beam.
- 8. The optical system of an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 7, said adjusting means comprising means for adjusting a position of said collimator lens with respect to said light source.
- 9. The optical system of an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 7, said adjusting means comprising means for adjusting a distance between said light source and said collimator lens so that astigmatism generated by said objective lens is offset by astigmatism of said light beam emerging from said anamorphic optical system.
- 10. The optical system of an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 7, said adjusting means comprising a mounting structure for adjustably mounting said light source and said collimator lens.
- 11. The optical system of an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus according to claim 10, said mounting structure comprising means for receiving an end portion of an adjusting tool for adjusting a distance between said light source and said collimator lens.
