ABSTRACT:
A catadioptric objective system used for storage and/or reproduction of information by use of an optical near field. The catadioptric objective system is composed of a catadioptric objective lens and a light transmitting plate. The lens has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface has a positive optical power and transmits incident rays. The second surface has a positive optical power and reflects incident rays, and a plane portion is formed in the center of the second surface. The light transmitting plate has a third surface and a fourth surface which are substantially parallel to each other, and the third surface is bonded to the second surface. Incident rays pass through the first surface and are reflected by the second surface. Thereafter, the rays enter into the first surface again and are reflected by the first surface. Then, the rays pass through the plane portion of the second surface, and the rays are converged in vicinity of the fourth surface.
