An optical pickup device comprises a first laser light source and a second
laser light source that emit first laser light and second laser light,
respectively, and further comprises an objective lens that receives the
first and second laser light. The first laser light and the second laser
light have different focal lengths from a principal point of the
objective lens in accordance with a distance between a signal layer of a
signal recording medium and a label layer of the signal recording medium.
When the first laser light source and the second laser light source are
simultaneously driven, the first laser light and the second laser light
are controlled to simultaneously focus on the signal layer of the signal
recording medium and the label layer of the signal recording medium,
respectively. Thus, label information can be recorded simultaneously with
recording of main information.
