ABSTRACT:
An optical information recording and reproducing apparatus for performing, using a light beam, recording of information or reproducing of recorded information with respect to a plurality of recording layers of an information recording medium. An objective lens condenses a light beam onto the recording layers. A light beam expander corrects spherical aberration caused by a difference in substrate thickness by changing one of a divergent angle and a convergent angle of a light beam entering the objective lens. A coma aberration correcting device corrects coma aberration caused by tilt of the recording medium. A drive circuit drives the coma aberration correcting device with a drive signal having a value varied depending on an amount of coma aberration caused in accordance with one of a divergent angle and a convergent angle of the light beam expander, which varies for each recording layer, and an amount of coma aberration caused in each recording layer due to a transmission thickness from a light incidence surface of the recording medium to the recording layers.
