To provide an optical pickup device and optical disk device which can have
a sufficient heat radiating effect without a new member for radiating
heat, an optical pickup device includes a laser light source that emits
laser light onto an optical disk; a power supply that supplies electric
power to the laser light source; an upper surface cover that has a first
opening section which introduces the wind generated by the rotation of
the optical disk toward the power supply and that covers the power
supply; and a side surface that is provided with a second opening section
which discharges the wind introduced from the first opening section
through the power supply.
