Abstract
It is preferable to use thin (0.6mm) substrate to read a high density optical disk with a large numerical aperture (NA) lens1), because of allowance to disk tilt. Spherical aberration which is caused by disk thickness differences must be corrected to read conventional (1.2mm) disks. We propose a dual focus optical head with a holographic optical element (HOE) which corrects the aberration to read both 0.6mm and 1.2mm disks. It was confirmed that 0.6mm and 1.2mm disks can be read by the dual focus optical head.
