Abstract
An optical pickup records information on a recordable and reproducible disk and reads information therefrom. The optical pickup includes a laser light source for emitting first laser light in case of a reproduction mode for reproducing information from the disk and emitting second laser light in case of a recording mode for recording information on the disk. A collimating lens collimates the laser light emitted from the laser light source. A chromatic aberration corrector includes prisms of respectively different material properties, for beam-shaping and dispersing the laser light collimated by the collimating lens so that chromatic aberration of an optical spot formed on the disk is corrected in which the chromatic aberration is generated by a difference between the wavelengths of the first and second laser lights. The beam-shaped and dispersed first and second laser lights are focused on the disk by an objective lens.
