Abstract
Light emitted from a semiconductor laser is converted by a collimator lens into a collimated light, which enters into an objective lens of high NA and forms a condensed spot within an optical disk. The light emitted from the semiconductor laser is S-polarized light that oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
