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.
