An optical head is provided with a light source for emitting a first laser beam having a first wavelength shorter than 430 nm, a two-wavelength light source for emitting a second laser beam having a second wavelength equal to or longer than 430 nm, a flat beam splitter in the form of a single plate for reflecting the first laser beam emitted from the light source, a wedge prism in the form of a single plate for reflecting the first laser beam reflected by the flat beam splitter and transmitting the second laser beam emitted from the two-wavelength light source, and an objective lens for focusing the first laser beam reflected by the wedge prism on an information recording surface of a BD. The light source is arranged such that the optical axis of the first laser beam emitted from the light source is inclined with respect to that of the second laser beam emitted from the two-wavelength light source. By this construction, the miniaturization of the optical head can be realized.
