Abstract
An objective optical element for use in an optical pickup apparatus, includes two or more optical elements having a first surface having a first phase difference providing structure and a second surface having a second phase difference providing structure, wherein each of the first and second phase difference providing structures emit a diffracted light flux corresponding to each of the entering first-third light fluxes, or emit a transmitting light flux which is not applied a diffractive action corresponding to each of the entering first-third light fluxes, and the first-third light fluxes enter into the objective optical element as an almost infinite parallel light flux for information reproducing and/or recording on the first-third optical information recording media respectively.
