Abstract
An objective optical system according to the present invention is provided for use in an optical pickup apparatus for recording or reproducing information on an information recording surface of a first optical information recording medium using a first light flux emitted from a first light source. The objective optical system is provided with: a first lens with a positive refractive power including plastic; a second lens with a positive refractive power including plastic; and a first phase structure. A wavefront aberration change amount of the objective optical system when a wavelength of the first light flux changes, and a wavefront aberration change amount of the objective optical system when an ambient temperature of the objective optical system satisfy the predefined condition.
