An integrated type optical pickup module apparently approximates a plurality
of
light-emitting points of semiconductor lasers. An optical element is interposed
between first and second semiconductor lasers. The optical element has first and
second reflecting surfaces perpendicular to each other. The first and second reflecting
surfaces reflect laser beams projected from the first and second semiconductor
lasers, respectively. The optical element further has a mounting surface perpendicular
to both the first and second reflecting surfaces. The optical element is mounted,
via the mounting surface of the optical element, to a submount having a top surface
on which the first and second semiconductor lasers are mounted. Heterojunction
surfaces of the first and second semiconductor lasers may be substantially perpendicular
to the first and second reflecting surfaces, respectively.
