Abstract
In a lens holding member for holding a solid immersion lens, when a difference-in-level portion and/or slant face is constructed at least on a part of the objective side surface, a tilt margin which can be applied to a near field optical recording and reproduction solid immersion lens can be maintained. In a focusing lens using such lens holding member, the optical pickup apparatus and the optical recording and reproducing apparatus, stable transportation between the lens and the optical recording medium can be improved.
