Fixing method, optical component and pickup manufactured by the fixing method

Objective lens 20 is placed above the bobbin 40 at a position opposite to the light emitting end of the light guiding member, and the fixing portions 31 provided appropriately between the objective lens 20 and the lens support 41 are hardened in a short time because of being exposed to a UV hardening light beam which is selectively irradiated onto the fixing portions, or the intensity of which has been reduced to the wavelength region in which optical characteristics of the objective lens are practically deteriorated, in order to reduce the deterioration in the transmission characteristics in the wavelength range at which the optical elements are to be used, when fixing optical elements such as a plastic objective lens, etc., are used with a UV hardening type of adhesive.
