ABSTRACT:
An improved collimating lens for use in optical memories is disclosed which comprises a first surface for receiving the incident beam which is concave, and a second surface for emitting the outgoing beam which is convex and non-spherical, characterized in that the said lens satisifies some particular conditions. If the collimating lens of the present invention is used, the beam passing through the periphery of the lens can be concentrated, and therefore, the actual number of openings of the objective lens is increased, and at the same time, the coupling efficiency can be improved. Accordingly it is possible to form very tiny spot on the disc, and the transmission rate can also be improved. Further, the appearance of the lens can be favorably shaped when manufacturing the lens, because the lens of the present invention is strong against the difference of the axes.
