An optical information apparatus includes a laser which emits a light beam, an objective lens and the like which converge a light beam emitted from the laser on an optical recording medium, spherical aberration correction instrument which is arranged on an optical axis of the light beam which links the laser and the objective lens, and corrects a spherical aberration generated on the optical recording medium. Correction is performed so that outgoing power of the laser changes according to a correction amount by the spherical aberration correction instrument.
