Abstract
Provided is an objective lens used in an optical pickup that performs recording and/or reproducing of information signals on three different types of optical discs using different wavelengths. The objective lens is configured to collect light beams with the at least three wavelengths λ, and λ, which satisfy a relationship of λ, on signal recording surfaces of compatible optical discs corresponding to the respective wavelengths. The objective lens includes: a diffractive portion that has a predetermined diffraction structure formed on an incident side surface. The diffractive portion has a first region that is provided in an innermost peripheral portion so as to diffract the light beams, a second region that is provided outside the first region so as to diffract the light beams, and a third region that is provided outside the second region.
