Provided is an optical pickup device which can properly record and/or reproduce information on and/or from three types of discs having different recording densities and is simple in configuration and low cost. An objective lens is also provided. On the optical surface of the objective lens, an optical path difference giving structure is formed. Out of diffracted light generated when a first luminous flux enters the structure, second order diffracted light has the maximum diffraction volume. Out of diffracted light generated when a second luminous flux enters the structure, zero order diffracted light has the maximum diffraction volume. Out of diffracted light generated when a third luminous flux enters the structure, the minus first order diffracted light has the maximum diffraction volume. |
