<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element such as an objective lens for an optical pickup, an optical element that is simple, small-sized, and capable of inexpensively satisfying rigidity required for the optical pickup, by utilizing a fixed part properly installed in a part of the optical element for the purpose of fixing the optical element having at least one optically operating reflection area. <P>SOLUTION: The objective lens 1 as the optical element for an optical pickup is provided with an optically operating incident area, at least one optically operating reflection area, and an optically operating light-emitting area, and is intended for the purpose of converging a luminous flux on an optical recording medium. The objective lens 1 is provided, outside the optically operating areas, with objective lens flanges 1a, 1b, 1c which are projecting fixed parts. The flange 1c is arranged in an unopposing position in view of the flanges 1a, 1b, while the flanges 1a, 1b are both arranged in an unopposing position in view of the flange 1c. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
