An optical pickup device has first and second light sources that emit
first and second laser beams of different wavelengths, an object lens
that concentrates the first and second laser beams on a data recording
surface of an optical disk, an optical separator disposed between the
first and second light sources and the object lens, and an optical
monitor that detects a quantity of light of the second laser beam. The
optical separator has a wavelength selecting film that, on one hand,
reflects the first laser beam emitted from the first light source toward
the object lens and, on the other hand, transmits the second laser beam
emitted from the second light source to the object lens, and a reflector
that reflects a part of the second laser beam emitted from the second
light source toward the optical monitor.
