Aberration correction can be performed.

- the ratio of the area SA1 through which the luminous flux is biased out of the area SA0 of one surface of the lens satisfies the following condition (1).
- the area through which the light flux is biased is the area of the light flux on the surface when the light flux that passes through the one surface of the lens while being biased with respect to the optical axis is incident on one surface of the lens. That is. 0.25 ⁇ SA1 / SA0 ⁇ 0.7 (1) If this ratio is less than 0.25, the lens use efficiency is significantly reduced. If this ratio exceeds 0.7, the area for providing different optical characteristics is too small, and it is difficult to provide a difference in the ability to correct the light beam 6.
