Abstract
The complex amplitude distribution which can compensate for the spherical aberration caused by mismatch on interface between recording material and immersion material (air) on three-dimensional optical storage system is derived analytically and numerically. Comparison between two approaches is made. It is also shown how the depth of recording layer and position of reference plane are related to the phase distribution at reference plane and how the mismatch can be resolved by using a pure phase element.
