A new dual focus objective lens of combinig aspherical surfaces of DVD
and CD for DVD/CD pick-up head was designed. Numerical analysis based
on the diffraction model were studied to trade off the spot size, sid
e lobe, and energy ratio of DVD and CD, The hybrid aspherical surfaces
of DVD and CD are optimized for low aberration. The spot size of full
wave half maximum (FWHM) are 0.553 and 0.88 mu m for DVD and CD, resp
ectively, measured from thus constructed double rings lens.
