Abstract

An optical head () for scanning optical record carriers () is provided with a compensator () for compensating spherical aberration of the objective system () or defocus of the collimator lens () caused by operation of the optical head at a temperature different from the design temperature. A surface of the compensator () comprises a phase structure in the form of annular areas (), the areas forming a non-periodic pattern of optical paths of different length. The optical paths change as a function of temperature and form a temperature-dependent wavefront deviation that compensates the spherical aberration and/or defocus.
