There is disclosed an optical pickup device including: a blue semiconductor laser which emits a first laser light having a wavelength of 450 nm or less to record on or reproduce from an extra-high density optical disc; a red semiconductor laser which emits a second laser light having a wavelength longer than that of the first laser light to record on or reproduce from a DVD having a low recording density; an objective lens; and an aberration correction element. The objective lens is designed for the extra-high density optical disc, and has a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.75 or more. The aberration correction element passes the first laser light as such and thereafter allows the light to be incident upon the objective lens, whereas the element limits an aperture with respect to the second laser light and diffracts the second laser light so as to correct an aberration with respect to the DVD and thereafter allows the light to be incident upon the objective lens.
